Galaxy Alpha is by far the best phone I have owned. And I have had quite a number of the top Android phones over the past years.

      No SD card means No buy for me. Too bad because otherwise it seems like a great phone, but too expensive.

        Why do you criticize the "QUAD CORE" when it is actually OCTA? Yes, read the specs - 8 cores.

            without using any power saving ,
            disabled some apps and turned auto sync off for mail.


            exynos 5430 is much better in battery life than snapdragon 801 & 805

            exynos 5430 is 20 nm arch. and it use 25% less battery and gives much better performance .


            donnot forget that , alpha is faster than other phones in terms of charging time also ,

            in just less than 100 min. it charges from 3% - 100 %

              i have compared color tempreture , gamma, delta E RGBCMY etc.

                  Since when Im saying the Alpha has worse display accuracy compare to S5.

                  if u compare over all spec interm of hardware value between S5 vs Alpha,
                  The Alpha should be sold at little bit lesser price than S5.(reduce a small amount of dollar)

                  Im sure that 1080p panel is more costing than 720p because of higher pixel density(more material).

                  If Samsung want the Alpha to be 2014 success,the price should be slightly lower S5 and can bring back customer confident to Samsung.

                    i have compared display of alpha and s5 , u will notice resolution difference only if u check very deeply .
                    other than that , display of alpha is more accurate and superb eye candy color reproduction .
                    overall display is better than S5.

                      AnonD-67553, 02 Nov 2014lol,,how did you say iPhone is the best smartphone compare ... moreYou wrong about APPLE SOC dual core concept....less core doesnt mean week or low performance compare to higher core SOC.
                      You see now...Iphone 6 GPU ,the A8-PowerVR GX6450 able to produce more than 150 Glops at 500mhz.
                      Thats why APPLE always win in GFX bench test and the gaming
                      performance smooth like butter.

                      The Ipad 4(dual core cpu) was 2 years old but playing Modern Com.5 at very
                      impressive frame rate compare to nowsday middle range SOC device.

                        Very impressed with GFXBENCH 3.0/TREX 2.7 manhattan result for Alpha but only one thing Im strongly disagree with the price was same with S5 just for the 720P phone.

                        Im just checking wikipedia.com, Mali 628-MP6 able to produce 122 GFLOPS which very very powerful gpu for small mildgle range phone.

                        As typical,Samsung has weird pricing strategy.Its should $70-$90 cheaper than S5 ,than I can consider a good purchase.

                                    finally i have decided to keep Alpha with me , and give iphone6 to my sister .
                                    As in my iphone 6 there is only 12gb space available out of 16gb with no otg support ,
                                    its very less for me .

                                    while on my Alpha , more than 25 gb is available plus otg support .

                                    personally i liked Display of my Alpha more than iphone 6 .

                                    So go for the Alpha Gold color , its looking like gold jewellery in low light areas

                                    but i will miss ios apps , same apps are much better on ios than android
