        I think Samsung had kept all the specs departments like pixel density, battery capacity, storage pattern, size, mould and design and every thing at par or slightly above the specs details that got leaked for the yet to be announced Iphone6. It is perfectly done to compare the specs to an apple's phone. It is good that they didnt kept those specs so high that, people may mistakely compare it with their own high speced "S" series or "NOTE" series. It is very evident that samsung want it to be compared only with the exhisting and upcoming iphone models and it wins in every count. I think Iphone6 when it gets announced, it is going to be an exact copy of this phone which is already in the market. Since iphone6 is produced in China and going to come out with a 'Made in China' label, I suspect many exhisting apple fans will go confused regarding what they loved for years - "A made in US phone". The already leaked complaints like low touch sensitivity at the corners which made a probable cancellation of 5.5" models are all examples for it.

          The last time i checked the iphone 5s has a 1560mah battery. Alpha is more in numbers. Why are you complaining then? Ive never read any comment whatsoever regarding the iphone battery. Why? Because apple is american and americans always win? Please stop this. Apple products are no better than others. Most people use android.. Check mashable for instance they are always biased and act as there's no other phones than the iphone. Please.. Till when will you be fooled by this? I bet most of the analytics are wrong where apple dominates.

                django, 13 Aug 2014samsung dont need china too .. infact no one needs samsung :PAccept apple and 70% of the world's smart phones for ram, memory, cpu's, displays and such.
                Or apple again as well as many other laptop companies when it comes to ram, hard drives, displays.
                ... you start to get the picture.

                    Anonymous, 13 Aug 2014Sony has 20mp on their flagships. It's not good. Have you s... moreIncorrect. It is in fact good. Just not up to its full potential. Especially street being used twice and improved dither and still somehow being held back.
                    And so yeah that 8MP one is good. The others are still better.
                    However you are right that is not all about the numbers.

                                  Samsung have at last learnt from a Big mistake they made from the Galaxy S5,as with the Galaxy S5 you thought you were buying it in Black,Gold,Blue or White but All you got was the battery cover in that Colour,with Alpha Samsung have done the Right offering the Front an Battery Cover in Matching Colours,if Samsung would done this on the Galaxy S5 there Sales would have been alot better,its a big gamble by Samsung not included the micro sd card slot on the Alpha,just can"t wait to see the Galaxy Alphas price

                                        I finally get it, The Galaxy Alpha was never meant to be a premium phone!

                                        It appears that Samsung Board members fed up with apple suing them have finally had the last laugh

                                        THIS IS SAMSUNG RELEASING A MOCKED UP IPHONE 6
                                        And to name it Alpha,

                                        All the complaints about battery size resolution, is what what Apple fans will accept as a premium phone
                                        Samsung have released an Android version of the 4.7" iphone6 with all the inherent mid-range property

                                        Do you really think that Sammy could not have put in better specs?
