For some time we believed that the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, or what we thought to be called the Galaxy F, was going to be a premium device offering something a bit more special than what the Galaxy S5 is. After a series of leaked photos of the device came out, it seems almost certain that this is not the case, and that the Galaxy Alpha is in fact Samsung‘s answer to the imminent release of the Apple iPhone 6. This much is evidenced by the 4.8-inch display, which today has allegedly been confirmed to be 720p i.e. with a resolution of 1280×720 pixels.
This information was gleaned from Samsung’s own developer console, which seems to confirm that the device will have a 720p display and that it will indeed be called the Samsung Galaxy Alpha (not the Galaxy F or Galaxy S5 Alpha). The expected hardware of the Galaxy Alpha include a fingerprint scanner, a nano SIM slot, 32GB storage without expandable memory, and is expected to have an aluminium edge all around the sides of the device. It is supposedly going to be released in August this year.
