Unless you manually kill the apps every time (this will cause system to be misbehave and slow opening apps), if not the RAM will be always nearly full to provide better user experience.
You can see that in application manager there are 2 sections, running services and cache processes. Cache processes is use in keeping the apps to load faster next time while running services is to keep services and syncing active. Priority is given first to running services which never stops running in RAM. If RAM needed for a newly open apps, apps that use the least in cache processes will be killed.
Yes, the more RAM needed if you install more applications that provide services (like Google services, widgets, mail or social networking apps). For that being said, this is why old Android devices that has less RAM and also less internal storage (apps can't be installed in SD card) to prevent too much apps overloading the RAM.

I agree that samsung is RAM hungry. My Samsung S5 has 2gb ram and when I use it, the 2gb ram becomes 400mb. So maybe samsung should add more rams for the future flagships.

"Small Resolution". The phone is small so 720p is enough, it's the same as having 1080p at 5.7 inches. A lot of phone have 1080p , nobody calls their resolution "small".
So no small battery, no small resolution, its only problem is the small RAM. Android is Ram hungry, but touchwiz is even hungrier than that, so 3GB should have been the minimum...

pro: great camera, snappy processor, gorgeous build, nice size, excellent voice quality, plenty of storage, replaceable battery.
Con: small battery, lower screen resolution.
I would buy it again and recommend it. For a low cost phone it looks awesome and has a lot to offer.

The two phones are very good, working fine, and the battery is acceptable (in the evening remain about 50-60%), using the two phones about 2-3 hrs on calling and about 1-2 hrs on the internet. Galaxy Alpha is a very good smartphone (including the taken pictures). Buy it (an original one of course) and you will never regret. You will love it.

...only drawback is battery life: 3-4 hours screen on times + 10-16 hours standby times, you can use more than a day if youre not heavy user) but thats enough for most people and i never had performance problems even after i updated my alpha to lollipop, it would do good job as secondary phone

Hi, Im using the S5 now, So Im planning to buy a Samsung Galaxy Alpha for my secondary phone. I have few questions about it. I found out that this phone is comparable to the GS5. Are there any common problems about this phone? Does this phone have a motions and gesture such as air browse, direct call, etc. or air view?. Is it fast on internet surfing, gaming, etc.? Do you recommend this phone? Why? ... sorry for having many questions cause Im curious about this phone and I think Im gonna love it when I bought one.

I seriously miss my Galaxy Alpha :l
The phone died a month ago and the local mobile shop couldn't help due to shortage of parts.Also, Samsung service center is so far away from me. Sigh
