My alpha is always at 70 degrees celsius even when browsing, battery life lasts just 1 hour or 1 hours 30 minute SOT compared to 3 hours in day one. And now, the charging cable is damaged and a tiny damage to the cable protection made the phone to charge or not charge. I love this phone so much but i hate it more than any other samsung phone.

Even my Alpha (SM-G850F) is performing well with 5.02 (no bugs) and I can be lucky since I have the original samsung extended battery kit (2500 mah instead of 1860), I asked Live Support (Chat) of Samsung Germany today and they said that there is no Marshmallow or even Nougat update planned.
Sad, but I can live with it.

I've been using my Alpha (Exynos) for more than a year and it works perfectly. I kept it at Android 4.4 since it works best with Alpha, not a single bug. Because of that, its battery life is actually pretty good, even a tad beyond average for some activities. Since I work as a phone dealer I've had many Alphas go through my hands and I can say with confidence that updating it to lollipop or anything beyond that is, almost always, a mistake. My only con with this phone is that the metal frame is prone to chipping.

Its unfortunate samsung is not making any effort updating it to Marshmallow. Marshmallow at least would have been better for such a powerful handset like Alpha. Nokia is back and will be my next fone to grab. Ive been a nokia fun since time immemorial

Not a nice move from Samsung :(
At least I discovered this few days ago - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-alpha/orig-development/sm-g850f-lineageos-14-1-unofficial-t3530994
Fully working Lineage OS 14.1 ROM, so Alpha users even get Nougat 7.1 now!

Mfg Samsung where is Marshmallow update for this device, provide us an update or else you will be boycotted forever by Alpha users for deserting this premium device. Waiting for the Marshmallow update! I have invested around 600$ for this device during the launch but no proper support or update been provided yet. Kindly look into this or else it would be a bad time for you. We premium users always like to have control over apps permission which is available only from Marshmallow onwards. Hope you are listening to us Samsung. Now it's your turn Sammy.

I intalled Lollipop 5.0.2 Aroma a week now and I can't believe the performance of my device. Don't wait for any update. This rom has many s6 features but the most important is that it's the pperformance and the battery stamina. The only difference from the stock Lollipop is that is much much better.
