I will announce October 13 the date of Samsung. I barely managed the start-up and fast describing of Galaxy Note 4, and the next shipment has already landed on my desk. Inside - Galaxy Alpha - the first metal Samsung smartphone since long time ago.
If you expect that the new model will be an all-metal, such as the already forgotten Wave series - you are wrong. Only a frame is metal and in fact the main body of the phone.

The front - typical glass and the rear - also typical plastic with the design which resembles that of Galaxy S5. Ironically, the material makes an impression of a soft one, it is quite pleasant to touch.

Alpha makes a good impression. The housing has a right weight, is rigid and elegant. The smartphone is pretty slim, but eg. in the area of a microUSB slot it has a characteristic bulge. It doesn't disfigure it, but it adds some charm. I was surprised that the phone looks bigger than it actually is.

Looking at today's standards, I'd describe it as a compact. The screen may disappoint gadget maniacs, because it has a standard HD resolution. In combination with a diagonal of 4.7 inches it is at least sufficient. At first glance, I noticed, however, a downside of this smartphone - no connectors for a memory card. Was it not too much modeled on iPhone...? Let's leave the small malice, and let's review. I mean - I'll take care of it, and you still have to wait for the appearance of it in the review section.
