    Every day Sammy releases new devices but seldom update old devices because Sammy lost track what devices they have launched.

      Why huawei honor's 6 specs are much higher (octa core, 3gb ram, fhd display) and the price is lower than a5? And honor looks quite premium, i think...

            Reasonable prices would be Galaxy A3 - around 180 Euro, Galaxy A5 around 230-250 and Galaxy Alpha around 350-380. Such prices would be fair and good enough to turn customers back to Samsung.
            Samsung said Galaxy Alpha is kinda of "premium" device... Why they want to kill its "premiality" releasing very similarly looking budget device like A3 ??? Or doesn't it mean that Samsung doesn't believe in Alpha "premiality" and decided to sacrifice it ?

                  Anonymous, 31 Oct 2014Oow. How old is S3 btw? Get real dude.When s3 came out it was half of 2012 and 2013 kitkat came out so it should updated for no excuse it was one of samsungs flagship!!! When we see this from samsung we think that samsung won't update s4 either am i true so if you were out there and in these situations do you buy s4 any more now or you go for motorolla that update the whole range of its phones to lollipop?! I know motorolla is aosp and its stock but why samsung creat an heavy custom but with no update it's not worthy when you do a heavy job and you leave it there!!!

                          AnonD-318966, 31 Oct 2014So wait, the A3 has just 1GB of RAM and comes with Android ... moreWell it was only an excuse; as you can see galaxy young 2 has only 512mb ram and its running 4.4.2; samsung has many phone from low range to high end devices so it must sacrifise some of it's phones and why not?! If i dont update your phone you have to buy newer phone to enjoy the new apps... Good policy or better i say the evil one!!!

                            720p is definitely too low for a 5 incher. Won't buy this unless they are 350 euros max. My old M7 is doing better for a cheaper price.

                              But don't worry it's not only samsung but ofcourse LG and HTC have poor update plan...
