A good replacement for the Galaxy S3, the perfect alternative to the iPhone 6.

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.
I loved my Galaxy SIII and I had switched and now came back and this was the perfect one to jump back in with. I will say that I wish that over the few years I have been gone that they had upgraded their text message app but that's all I have to complain about so that is no big deal and there are apps to customize that.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: text message app is not in line with competition
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really like this phone , looks great ,quick, awesome phone especially for the money
I have been an iphone user for the last 4 years and was skeptical about the switch over but what I discovered was a pleasant surprise. I'm not a tech geek so I don't like to spend lots of time trying to figure out the phones and it's features but this phone made things quick and fairly easy to navigate around. It's light weight and fun to use. I am very satisfied.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Lightweight
Cons: Not high def, battery life could be better.
I would recommend this to a friend!
