Better Than Expected

I purchased this phone for my mother-in-law who was upgrading from a Galaxy SII. Due to her aging eyes she needed a fairly large screen without getting into the 5 inch and larger phones. The 4.7 inch screen worked great. The best part of the phone is the "easy" setting that allowed me to set the phone up for her and remove apps and other items that would have confused her even more. After using the phone for a few days, she is extremely happy with the phone both function and performance. The display is outstanding, it's quick, no lag at all, pictures are pretty good (limited use so far). Overall, I'm impressed with the phone. It's a 10 for her!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Smaller Phone!

First of all, I thought this was only released through the U.K and was upset but when AT@T got the phone I had to have it! Its nice and small and compact. The build is like no other. Samsung has really stepped it up on design on this phone(even though they do well on design on all of their phones). The AMOLED display is beautiful! Watching movies to youtube you can see the display pop! I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone who wants that smaller phone that doesn't involve fruit.... Great job guys on this phone. Spectacular!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Made me leave the iPhone

After 7 years on an iPhone, this one made me switch. It's lighter, smaller and has a much better display. Did I mention it's also fast? Build quality is solid and it feels like it's honed from a solid block of metal but with no real weight. Everything seems to be much better than my outgoing iPhone except the finger print sensor and it's probably just not being used to the finger swipe vs. the iPhone's finger place interface.
The only thing I'm missing from other Android phones out there is an IR port. Everything else is bullets.
Battery life: Good, not great. It's on par with the iPhone 5s Battery life in hours
Display: Great! I thought the pixel density was going to be a problem. It's not.
On-screen keyboard: Much better than the iPhone or other, older androids that I've used over the years.
Charging: Fast! You can go from 1/2 to full in 45 minutes with the included charger.
Speaker: Good, not great. It's no beats but it's a solid sound.
Wireless / Bluetooth: Great! It's fast to connect and holds a connection to wireless. Cellular is solid as well. Bluetooth is quick and stable to ear pieces and watches.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

A good replacement for the Galaxy S3, the perfect alternative to the iPhone 6.
on September 27, 2014
Posted by: langstro
I am a huge fan of the Galaxy line of smartphones, but, my interest in Galaxy began to dwindle once the phones started getting bigger. Thank you Samsung for creating the Galaxy Alpha. It's a good replacement for my Galaxy S3, and I'm only saying this because I wish it had an expansion slot for a Micro SD card like the S3 has. However, this is the perfect alternative to the iPhone 6.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: no micro sd card expansion
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is nice and also the specification but the battery power is so low for the smartphone use.
