Unfortunately no one had known that this phone will be killed at lollipop. No one. And sub 5 inch phones are getting extremely rare these days. Iphone 8 comes to the rescue.

I've got three words to describe this phone : Completely Wasted Potential !
I cannot even start to express how I liked this phone when I was using it back in the days. Sharp display, small form factor, bright display, bright colors, snappy processing, feels solid, has a very nice look. I got a spare one at home and everytime my current phone was giving up or having some kind of problem, I was gladly using back this phone until the repairs were done or I have a new phone.
But why ? Why did they stop the updates at Android Lollipop ? Why did it have only 2GB of RAM ? And most of all... Why did they put a battery that is so low and a software that is so inefficient at managing battery power ? (I could BARELY last the day with this phone with normal operation... without battery saving)
If it wasn't for these three annoying factors, I think I would've used this phone till it died... unfortunately the battery life alone reminds me why I only used it occasionally. It wasn't acceptable at the time it was released that a smart phone had a battery was dying so fast.
So overall,
What's questionnable about this phone ? The amount of RAM.
What's enjoyable about this phone ? Everything else except the battery and power efficiency !
What kills this phone ? The battery size and power efficiency.

Very disapointing. Still thinking if I go with the s8. I thought I did something wrong. But no. This was the faith. Better luck next time.

I bought my Alpha last winter. It still had KitKat, so I immediately upgraded to lollipop. I really don't know how it would have run with KitKat, but it is horrible now. It bogs down constantly, so that I even have to restart the phone sometimes just to get it to work. I have two memory cleaning apps on the phone to try to keep it clear so it will work. And because this is the AT&T model, I cannot go back to KitKat because they have provided no way to do that, and so far there has not been a successful rooting method provided. I can't wait until I can get another phone. This is the worst one I've ever owned.

thlai, 19 Sep 2017Completely agree. I had it and like it so much, it was duri... moreSo true. The Alpha was a better and more premium looking device than the S5. Sad to hear about your Alpha though.
