Samsung Galaxy Alpha Reveals and Rumors: We Could Be Seeing a New Samsung Flagship Trend

Normally before a phone is about to be released into the market, the speculations about the specs and the apps tend to all line up or at least correspond even if they are not entirely true. However, in the case of the Galaxy S5, it has been found to be quite tricky. In fact, it has gone through 3 different official names including the S5 prime, Galaxy F and the Galaxy Alpha. The phone is supposedly going into production this month and being launched in August.

Apparently, Samsung is only going to be doing a limited launch this time because they depend on a Chinese firm that can only produce 1 million metallic shells a month and the phone will feature metallic exterior construction. On the other hand, this theory has been debunked by SamMobile which is the company's firmware tracking site that has leaked photos of the upcoming device and apparently, it only has aluminum metal on the sides, but features faux leather back.

This phone is rumored to be the market antidote for the S5 because it will in all likelihood feature bigger and better settings including a larger 5.2-inch Quad HD screen and 6mm super slim build. The phone will also feature a 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor and a 3 GB Ram with Adreno 420 GPU. All of these are next generation compared to what the current S5 has to offer the market. True, it will decrease the current sales for Samsung S5 but the alterative is even worse and abominable according to Samsung standards. The market will be expecting something better so if they find the product inferior, it will reduce confidence in the next Samsung flagships. More on this, Samsung has always released one flagship a year according to their past practices. Yet this is a phone that can be decisively said not to be a tweaked version of the S5. We could be seeing the start of 2 flagship products per annual season.
