During the last days we have seen several leaks of the brothers most related to the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, known as Samsung Galaxy Alpha A5, A7 and A3. After seeing some images in which we observe its design and the possibility that they have caluminum housing, today a new one appears leaked video in which they can be appreciated in great detail.
On this occasion the video recorded by the camera shows us what the Samsung Galaxy Alpha A5 and A3 compared to the one that has opened the door for a redesign by the company – specifically the leaked images in the article linked above are taken from this same video. Aside from seeing the design, the new information suggests that the back cover cannot be opened and that batteries would not be removable, an unusual decision for the South Korean manufacturer.
Obviously we are talking about rumors and, until Samsung Galaxy Alpha A5, A7 and A3 are not official, we cannot guarantee that everything is definitive. Even so, the leaked material reinforces the idea of a premium design with a prominent presence of metal as a differentiating element.
Design and construction
The video and images point to a chassis of unibody style with metal frame and more polished finishes than previous generations. Some leaks describe a smooth housing with metallic look on the A3 and A5, compared to the more porous back of the Galaxy Alpha. This approach not only improves the feel in the hand, but also provides structural rigidity and provides a slim profile at the expense of the removable lid.
Another important detail is the presence of side trays for nanoSIM card and microSDSince the back doesn't open, these external access points are useful for expanding storage and managing your mobile phone line without disassembling the device.
Expected specifications and differences between models
The data is not definitive and exists two leak streams about the hardware of the A5 and A3. On the one hand, the first reports place the A5 with 5 inch 720p screen, 13 MP rear camera, Snapdragon 400, 16 GB internal memory, 2 GB of RAM, front camera 5 SM y 2.300 mAh battery (with a guideline price of around $450).
On the other hand, benchmarks such as GFXBench and new sources point to a jump to 410-bit Snapdragon 64 all with A5 and A3, with configurations that would include 16 GB storage, recording of 1080p video and cameras 12 SM (A5) and 8 SM (A3), next to 5 SM on the front. On screens, they are considered 4,5 inch qHD for A3 and between 4,8–5 inches 720p for A5, both with panel Super AMOLED. The RAM in these listings varies, with records of 1 GB in A3 prototypes and higher values in the A5, suggesting multiple configurations.
- Connectivity and trays: nanoSIM and microSD accessible from the side.
- Multimedia: recording to 1080p and AMOLED panels with good contrast.
- Battery: integrated and not removable, prioritizing design over modularity.
Software and experience
In the video you can see that the terminals run 4.4.4 Android KitKat with the cape TouchWizThis base guarantees the classic Samsung functions and leaves the door open to updates to make better use of the 64-bit chipsets if the Snapdragon 410 is confirmed. The combination of software and hardware points to a smooth experience in premium mid-range, with emphasis on screen, front camera for selfies and a careful design.
Availability and indicative price
Leaks indicate that the Galaxy Alpha A7 could initially reach specific markets, with a special focus on Asia, and position itself as the largest and highest priced model. In terms of figures, the ranges are about 500 dollars for A7, $400–$450 for A5 y $350–$400 for A3These amounts vary by configuration and region, and must be confirmed upon submission.
The strategy seems clear: to take the design language from the Galaxy Alpha to a line with several diagonals and more contained prices to compete in a Midrange increasingly demanding, without necessarily aspiring to be emblematic devices but very attractive in design and balance of features.
And you, what do you think about the Galaxy A seriesWill they be big winners compared to other brands' models in their segment?
