The editors didn't like
No expandable memory
Disappointing screen
No expandable storage
TouchWiz is still a problem
Screen is only 720p
It has a disappointingly low-resolution screen
Which is a particular shame given the extremely high price of the phone. It loses the waterproofing of the S5 and there's no microSD card slot for expanding the storage either
Abstract: By Hitesh Bhagat Samsung's detractors have often criticised the brand for excessive use of plastic on devices. A change has happened and the Galaxy Alpha is first off the line with Samung's new design language. Unlike many previous Samsung smartphones whi...
Samsung Galaxy Alpha is a great and a much needed addition to the Galaxy line up. It is already available in the market for about INR 39,990.The plastic back, TouchWiz bloatware and a small battery are the only things that we didn't like on the Galaxy Alp...
Good, Sturdy metal chassis, Extremely light and super thin, Camera performance is decent in daylight conditions
Iffy fingerprint scanner, Heart rate monitor is still a mess, Expensive
Above the Rs. 35,000 price point, you'll find several flagships, flagships from previous year, mini variants of flagships, and phablets. Price fluctuations are massive, especially with Samsung's models. For example, the Galaxy S5, the tech giant's flagshi...
Best look and feel on a Samsung smartphone today, Screen is vibrant, despite the comparatively lower resolution, Very light
Heats up easily, leading to performance drop, Fingerprint sensor and heart rate monitor aren't very accurate
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha may very well be the best looking Samsung device that you can find today, but it has some very tough competition. Also, at the price that Samsung has put up for this device, it might lose out. Still, the Galaxy Alpha should be on...
It's impossible to tally up a final score for this but that was never the point - as usual, the point is to help different users pick out the phone that's right for them. The super mini playground is not as empty as it once was and these three phones are ...

The Galaxy Alpha may take design cues from Apple's last-gen handset, but Samsung refines them here. It's the meeting of design and comfort that many manufacturers tend to botch one way or another. If this is what we can expect from Samsung design going fo
The screen is irksome. It's not horrendous: in fact, watching movies wasn't too bad at all, but the pixel density and color quality just don't compare to other smartphones you can buy for $200 on contract, TouchWiz is still cluttered and the problem only
If youre OS agnostic? No, buy an iPhone 6. iOS 8 is a much more pleasant experience than TouchWiz.Do you basically want an iPhone running Android? The Alpha is about as close as youll get. Thats by no means a knock against Samsungs design chops. The c...
The Galaxy Alpha marks a new beginning for Samsung, which HTC may view as trespassing on their premium territory. Samsung may have found a weakness - HTC have a proper full-size flagship but their compact offering feels like a midranger at times.The Samsu...
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha is a brilliant addition to the Galaxy line. Not quite an alpha dog but a starry-eyed pup, dreaming of leaving its own legacy. What if they dropped the "Galaxy" moniker and just called it "Samsung Alpha"?A tempting thought. The pla...
Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy Alpha is a surprising change in the Samsung product strategy. It certainly has many of the Galaxy S5 key selling features, while staking on more premium material such as aluminum. But it's not another flagship, no, it's rather an offsho...
