        I don't get this product. Maybe it's only an experiment. Is it supposed to be a top tier phone above the GS5 or below it? I'm not talking about specs but Samsung's perception of ultra high-end. IMO they should have gone metal unibody, no home button, special customised Touchwiz or a complete new "Alpha" overlay or just pure Android L(which will never happen), to make this smartphone stand out from the other hundreds of Galaxy phones models. Make it special. But I feel like ppl in general are tired of Samsung phones, as they all basically look the same and the Samsung hype is also gone.

          Kelly, 05 Aug 2014Wow this looks nice! What does the 720p screen mean comp... moreThe S5 is 1080p isn't it? So this "premium" model will have a lower PPI than the Galaxy S series equivalent.

          That is to say: You who want premium don't care about techy features, so we'll give you less for more. The same motto and play that most Android fans are blaming Apple for using against their customers.

                Lol it's just a metal round, everything else is still made of plastic. Samsung is looking even more desperate everyday.

                  that batttery sure is small, 1850 is probably just enough to last a day. and why make the back removable yet omit the sd-card? well, maybe the final product will come up with other specs, let's see ^^

                    What's with the ugly back? That ain't premium. A lot of the elements are similar to the 5S, but then again I suppose it's its direct competitor.

                          Can't wait for Samsung to bring out a competitor for their own Galaxy Alpha ;)

                          Maybe next week, keeping my fingers crossed...
