"Samsung's long-rumoured Galaxy Alpha smartphone has been leaked in surprisingly clear (for once) shots, and it looks to be sporting some shiny metal trimmings."

 

 

"What's most notable is the metal edging, a design technique Apple made use of in its iPhone 5S which touts itself as a premium handset."

 

"Rumours so far tip the Alpha to come packing a 720p 4.7-in display (the rumoured screen-size for Apple's unconfirmed iPhone 6), 32GB of storage, and is a dead-cert to feature 4G/LTE connectivity."

 

Well this is certainly interesting.  What do you guys think of Samsung going for a premium approach?  I think they're just asking for more lawsuits from Apple

[MangoJuiceStain]

Finally they decided to do what EVERYONE else was doing and were asking for and made a metal phone.

Add the picture to your post to make it more appealing.

That phone is so fucking metal \m/

(I don't really care about phones, I just wanted to make that joke....)

Am I the only person who could care less about "OOOOOH NEW PHONE"?

 

Seriously, whenever L and S start talking about phones, tablets, etc on WAN show I go get another beer.

 

Seriously.... that shit's not news

If I hadn't read the title and just glanced at the phone I would've thought it was an iPhone, it's got the flat sides and rounded corners.. It's even the same size as the iPhone 6 is supposed to be. I knew Samsung got most of their ideas from Apple, but c'mon...

Meh...

Your opinion.

So it's just a mid-range phone? Oh well, I am not even a fan of metal phones so it's not like I was that interested to begin with.

How about we start making phones out of proper materials instead of recycled soda cans?

[Thorium19]

Well, that's another 3 fucking years of lawsuits coming samsungs way. Better hope that they pick their profits up, or they ain't gonna be able to afford that damage payment apple will want.

I'll take metal phones over Samsung's usual plastic shit.

Bill: "Bob did you sit on the iphone again? It looks all streched out!"

 

Bob: "Actually this is my new "galaxy" phone prototype.....but yes, yes I did sit on my iphone, I gotta go to a Gym or something"

[menendez1293]

Well I smell a lawsuit coming if that phone makes it into production. 

[LAwLz]

I'll take metal phones over Samsung's usual plastic shit.

And I would take something like carbon fiber, Kevlar or Zylon over crappy aluminum.

The plastic Samsung uses isn't even bad, it just *feels* cheap.

It is though, it may not interest you, but mobile computing is huge.

I'd love to see carbon fiber in a phone.  Too bad the Ubuntu One didn't get funded.

I think Motorola experimented with some exotic materials before. Their special edition of the Moto G's back is made out of Kevlar just like the Droid Razr M was, and I *think* they had some phone made out of carbon fiber before.

No thanks. Not while they have to use that ugly as hell checker board-esque design. I find that utterly hideous.

It is in production.  The pictures were leaked on Weibo (essentially twitter in china), supposedly by a factory worker.

[coen113]

that looks like an iphone

Oh well in that case, I am glad we are finally seeing a high quality phone from Samsung. But I do think Apple would do another Galaxy SII sue.
