Yesterday I checked the phone. Please find my observations as mentioned below:
1) It Feels very cheap. Especially the quality of plastic used on the back
2) The display is below average. Even if the phones in the range of 15-20 k have got much better display (Mot-X 1st gen)
3) There is no similarity between the phone in the advertisement and the original phone. The looks vary widely
4) Considering the display / specs and the build quality, pricing of 39K is very very over priced than the similar competitors
5) One more flop show, It will not sell in the market.
This kind of product should be priced ~ 17-18K, which should be the only factor of consideration

Though they have really managed to improve build quality. They have really sucked big time on battery. You need a min 2500mah to 3000mah for phones like these. No doubt on the pricing, 3 to 6 months down the line 30% price reduction.

Wait for 1 month and the cost will be less than 30k. Only fools will buy at 50k.

People keep talking about the plastic back panel of the phone as a negative. I disagree, I really like the feel of the soft touch backing. It gives the phone a good grip in your hand. I know this phone doesn't compete for the #1 slot for specs,but for me and what I really use it for , that is as a phone, its perfect. I love my Alpha. If you want better specs just get the Note 4.

No SD slot , its having 32 GB ,otg supports .
Exynos 5430 is way more powerful than S801 and exynos of S5,note3 .
Antutu bench , Alpha exynos - 51,900 !!!
Geekbench - 3200 !!
Sony Xperia Phones are Worst ever .
Z3 and iPhone 6 price only 50$ difference in India
Never buy Xperia , its worst

Neel, 18 Oct 2014It's good by looking but still it have only 1860 MAH better... moreYes, Alpha is almost identical to other galaxy phones except metal body
Alpha has low performance with low quality Exynos chipset
No FM radio
No SD card slot
No water proof
No innovative features
Price is very high although Alpha has mid_range performance
Heat issue occur with low processing LIKE Huawei P6 (metal body)
Of course, Sony Z3 compact and HTC E8 is better better than Alpha
Sony Z3 has very affordable price with high_end performances and it is featured with latest snapdragon(801) chipset and unbearable 20.7 mp camera and excellent water proof quality

Gimmick sensor, finger print is only for " on paper"
It is not realiable in real life:)
We can suffer from heating issue with low quality metal body
Most features are the smae with plastic body galaxy phones
Design are also the same
No innovative features, No quality, Laggy touch wiz with most issues

love tech, 17 Oct 2014Is the 720p display can run 1080p or 2k videos ? Please ans... moreyes it runs 4k and 2k very smoothly...only display resolution is not necessary for video decoding its two quad core processors along with 2 gb ram is enough..if the processors is mediatek then somebody will have doubt like geonee elife 5.5 and htc desire 616.both the devices are unable to run a simple 2k 5.1 channel mkv video...but it will like a cakewalk for exynos,snapdragon etc
