Samsung Galaxy Alpha (S801) Specifications, Price, and Release Date

Samsung Galaxy Alpha (S801) Summary

The largest smartphone company in the world, Samsung, has developed the Galaxy Alpha(S801), which features a small body with metal edges and a 4.7-inch screen, in an effort to placate critics. We believe the use of metal alone gives it a premium appearance that was glaringly absent from even some of its top devices. The incorporation of several premium internal components allows the phone to function on par with a flagship. Although spec-heads would have preferred the Galaxy Alpha's(S801) 720p screen to a 1080p one, we still thought it was an excellent screen. The cost of the item was our sole primary worry at the time we were writing the evaluation.
