Samsung’s Galaxy S5 is one of the most advanced smartphones in the world. But its plastic body and relatively bland design fall far short of the elegant stylings of Apple’s iPhone and HTC’s One M8.
That’s where the new Galaxy Alpha comes in. The first genuinely attractive smartphone to come from Samsung, the Alpha seeks to put to rest all of those criticisms about the Korean tech giant’s inability to create a handset that’s aesthetically appealing as well as technically advanced.
Available exclusively through AT&T for $199 with a two-year contract, the 4.7-inch Galaxy Alpha packs many of the same features as the 5-inch Galaxy S5 in a smaller, more fashionable body. So should you make it your own? Let’s check it out.
