I bought this for my mom because she's not a person that uses apps that use allot of ram nor storage. I personally have the samsung galaxy s6 edge. I love its design but the galaxy alpha is just sexy. Performance is also prettu good
The only problem I have with the phone is that after 9 months of using it, the screen blacked out. But other than that, it's a good phone. The battery life is excellent. And it's durable.
There are some good things I would say there are about this phone. It has just as many features as the Samsung Galaxy S5. Which I enjoy, as well as being smaller than the S5. It is very compact and lightweight. A bad thing I would say which isn't that bad is protection for the phone. The galaxy alpha seems like it isn't well known so there aren't that many screen protectors or phone cases for them. I had to order mine online, because the caseschool provideso by my service provider did not seem like it would protect it.
Purchased this phone a little over a year ago. Still working great besides a couple of issues I started having after it falling into water a couple of months ago.
I have been shopping for a smaller phone - I have small hands and most phones these days are just too uncomfortable for me to hold. The phone is very slim so fits well in my purse or pocket.
Although I'm still getting to know the phone, so far I find it to be very responsive and fast. It doesn't have a lot of the features I loved about my HTC Vivid, but it does have some features the Vivid didn't have.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, small size, type-ahead works nicely, battery lasts pretty well
Cons: Did not meet expectations, no sd card - no expandable memory, it goes to sleep much too fast. i don't know wher, an't control the notification sounds - my vivid w, only 3 screens the vivid had 4, no 'favorites' widget - i used to use this on one, can't figure out where my pictures and music are s
