Samsung Galaxy Alpha: Review of the HDblog.it – HDblog (Blog)
Samsung Galaxy Alpha is the first Android smartphone from Samsung to enter the market with aluminum body, at least in part around the body. A very interesting product as it is the first top-range compact Korean manufacturer and can offer a great alternative to Sony Xperia Z3 Compact and iPhone 6 is worth? Let’s find out in the full review.
Hardware, Materials and Ergonomics:
Galaxy Alpha is based on a proprietary hardware platform and is moved by the Exynos 5430 processor used in the Galaxy Tab Tablet S recently commercialized. A powerful Octa Core consists of four Cortex-A7 and A15 and four aided by a Mali-T628 GPU MP6. Are then the 2 GB of RAM and 32GB available storage space inside. Contrary to the philosophy of Samsung, Alpha does not have expandable memory even if the cover is opened and the battery can be removed.
In terms of ergonomics dimensions are interesting as the 4.7 inch display allows you to hold the dimensions 132.4 x 65.5 x 6.7 mm and weighs only 115 grams. In his hand he held very well, the back cover provides excellent grip and sight in your pocket does not feel the thinness and lightness. Small memo for the processing of finishing top and bottom of the metal casing that is a bit ‘rough and “edgy.”
- Size : 65.5 x 132.4 x 6.7 mm
- Weight : 115 g
- SoC : Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5430
- Processor : 4x 1.8 GHz ARM Cortex-A15, 4x 1.3 GHz ARM Cortex-A7, Number of cores : 8
- graphics processor : ARM Mali-T628 MP6, 533 MHz
- RAM : 2 GB
- Internal Memory : 32 GB
- Display : 4.7-inch Super AMOLED, 720 x 1280 pixels
- Battery : 1860 mAh
- Sitema operating : Android 4.4.4 KitKat
- Camera : 4608 x 2592 pixels, 3840 x 2160 pixels, 30 fps
- SIM Card : Nano-SIM
- Wi-Fi : a, b, g, n, ac, Dual band, Wi-Fi Hotspot, Wi-Fi Direct
- USB : 3.0, Micro USB

Really excellent AMOLED panel used in this product. Although only the HD resolution, the pixels are not seen and the density is high enough to allow good reading and image quality. The colors are also convincing with a color gamut well reproduced and absolute blacks.
remain the characteristics of all the latest device software manufacturer that allow you to work on the colors and find the perfect setup for any situation. In addition, the light sensor works very well and in the external brightness is emphasized by a very high maximum brightness. Excellent also the smoothness of the front panel and touch without problems. Do not miss the fingerprint sensor that allows you to easily unlock your smartphone although the release is carried out in two steps: click and then swype.
Battery, Audio and Reception:
Lightweight and thin are not adjectives that go well with autonomy. Unfortunately, some compromise was made and the battery reaches Alpha Galaxy only 1810mAh, a value certainly not high and that confirmation is not very satisfactory, even in practice. In fact, the day stress with all the settings to the maximum you can not close and the intervention of the excellent energy-saving systems developed by Samsung is “providential.” Can not expect miracles and a Octa Core, however optimized, however, has high fuel consumption and a battery of this size does what he can.
Excellent instead of the car and telephone. The volume in the capsule and the quality of the calls is more than satisfactory and even the speakerphone is in line with previous Samsung range top. We have not tried the best hands-free lately but is still good thanks to the intelligent positioning of the speaker. Receiving phone without any uncertainty while the wi-fi takes a little ‘less than S5. Perfect GPS.
Samsung Touch Wiz equals and there are not many differences compared to the Galaxy S5. In fact, I would say that it is virtually identical copy but with more fluidity and responsiveness. The system is based on Android 4.4.4 but the interface is not already 4 Note that the “magazine” key in Android L. Everything moves very well and the programs start with great speed. Jamming problems and did not have except in some rare occasions milliseconds of delay with respect to a click run.
Lots of options, settings, and settings and of course complete the possibility of using the multi Winodws, the menu of the favorite applications, the reduction in programs window, split screen, drag & amp; drop content and very more featuring the latest top of the range Samsung.
Fortunately, not all software Koreans are installed but you can download them directly from the menu Applications. There are still major multimedia software, the Samsung Apps and other proprietary app. instead of Google Now we find the magazine staff and of course no shortage of options for the advanced energy control, interface customization, a huge number of owners Widget and the ability to choose different views for organizing your menu settings.
Web Browsing on Chrome without any problems but Samsung has a special optimized version that, in terms of responsiveness and speed is second to nothing. So the browser owner is pleasant and responsive but less powerful than Chrome.
Value added important the camera. Although it is 12 megapixel and therefore atypical for Samsung that have long been used 13 or 16 megapixels, the quality of the shots is really good. Not only the photos are very good, but the interface is always extremely pleasant, rich settings and functionality, but at the same time also for the simple point and shoot fast. The processor supports all the functionality duo chamber and the various scenarios can also be downloaded from the Samsung App to enrich still shooting possibilities.
Not bad also the video they see a convincing audio recording and a stabilization less effective than other top free range, as Alpha, of OIS.
Clothing for media that does not disappoint and this is in line with expectations. Samsung has never disappointed and all major video formats are played, even at high resolutions. The speaker below confirms good but with a volume not very high: still clean sound is playing movies and music. There are also great games at great powerful GPU that does not show uncertainty and allows you to download just about any title from the Play Store.
Samsung Galaxy Alpha is the smartphone Samsung which meets the Apple philosophy of recent years. Do not talk about aesthetics of course, always been the center of controversy and accusations by the two brands, but the type of product: small, no expandable memory, light, thin and with a few compromises. Compared to Z3 Compact design can attract more users and the camera gives better results but the battery is the Achilles heel. Finally, the price: exaggerated if we think of the Italian list, more in line with the market if you look online deals that put him at 549 €.

Wind Update Samsung Galaxy S5: Better battery – OptiMagazine

A little ‘better, however, the model no brand, package G900FXXU1ANG9 last updated on 25 July.
In any case, you might decide to upgrade, as the sign above should, on paper at least, contain a number of optimizations aimed at further improving the user experience, and minor bug fixes. Unfortunately, we have not had time to test the length and breadth of the update.
However, the first comments collected in the network and those of our readers would seem that with this latest update the Samsung Galaxy S5 Wind would have even earned in battery . Of course, the news is to be taken lightly, especially since we have not way to verify it in the first person. Hopefully now that the South Korean company may pass over, and release to the public in the short term also KitKat Android 4.4.4, then in view of the forthcoming major-release, Android L.

Samsung Galaxy Alpha technical features and lower price … – Blasting News
continued incessant rumors about Specifications and lowest price Samsung Galaxy Alpha , the new device’s home phone south Korean built with materials “premium” just to compete with the new top of the range Apple, the iPhone 6, which yesterday made its official debut in our country. The wait is great to learn about the potential of this new Samsung Galaxy Alpha, a device that will – in the order of the ideas of Samsung – a hard time in what is considered by all as the object of desire.
The specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha scary that the iPhone 6
Specifications Alpha Galaxy can be rise more than a little doubt in the purchase of another device, then after a while you should always deal with the price. Why we wrote that the quality of the new smartphone Samsung can put fear the iPhone 6? Let us argue our thesis with objective data. The data sheet for the Samsung Galaxy Alpha highlights a display 4.7 “ with a resolution of 720×1334 pixels with a density of 320 ppi. Lato display, the challenge was won by iPhone 6, that for the same inch offers a resolution of 750×1334 pixels and a density of greater (326 ppi). chipset Alpha Galaxy is a Exynos 5 Octa, the ram is 2 gb and the internal memory (not expandable) 32 gb. turns the iPhone 6 8 with the new Apple Dual Core 1.4 GHz processor, 1 gb ram and a memory (for the model that costs 729 euro) 16 gb. From this point of view, the Galaxy Alpha catching up on the iPhone 6.
Now to the multimedia sector.’s f otocamera the Samsung Galaxy Alpha is 12-megapixel camera with a resolution of 4608×2592 pixels, while the iPhone 6 is fitted with a rear 8 megapixel camera with a lower resolution than the Galaxy Alpha. benchmarks allocate a slight advantage to the camera of Samsung, which also features a front camera of 2.1 megapixels compared to 1.2 of the iPhone 6 On the video the challenge ends substantially equal because on one hand the Samsung Galaxy Alpha runs in 4K video while the iPhone in Full HD, the other the new iPhone can count on 60 fps against 30 of Alpha Galaxy and a slow motion 240 fps.
More Technical Data Alpha Galaxy and ‘ iPhone 6 confirmed the substantial balance: connectivity side the two smartphones are identical, while in the data transfer do you appreciate more the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, you can count on a maximum download speed of 300 Mbps, twice that offered by the iPhone 6 Among the functions point out the absence in both devices Radio Fm, while the video player reads most formats of Alpha Galaxy than this on the iPhone 6, which does not support the format Divx, Xvid and H.263. Slightly better, finally, the battery in the new Alpha Galaxy (1860 mAh) than the iPhone 6 (1810 mAh).
Best price Alpha Galaxy: How much should the iPhone 6?
Price Samsung Galaxy Alpha lowest to date is that provided by stockists, offering the device to 549 euro (590 euro instead of Memtech coast). In contrast, the best offer for iPhone 6 at the moment is that of ITmania store, selling the Apple smartphone to 699 euro (one euro more on Fotodigit). Between the two smartphones, there are therefore 150 euro difference to the advantage of Samsung product. We can therefore say that the Galaxy Alpha 6 is better than the iPhone? Whereas the technical specifications of the two smartphones are the same, with the iPhone 6 in the best display but the Alpha Galaxy upper in other respects, and taking into account the purchase price, we believe that this challenge has been Samsung Galaxy won by Alpha. And you, what do you think? Interact with us by leaving a Comment below!Something About the Samsung Galaxy Alpha offers the best of … – OptiMagazine
Let’s talk about the price of Samsung Galaxy Alpha. The South Korean company’s first smartphone with metal frame could not but arouse the interest of users , also the expense of some hardware failures. The plus is the design and this matter to the many Italians who are interested in its purchase.
Too bad the price is not exactly proportionate to what is there in the market, so much so that the Samsung Gaòlaxy Alpha can be purchased at full price to 699 euro . Better, then, to look at the subscription plans, are much more interesting.
Let’s start with Vodafone : the carrier gives the Samsung Galaxy Alpha 10 euro per month, as long as it matches, it is clear, with a plan rechargeable. the solutions are different. Relax Mini , 29 euro per month, you will be entitled to unlimited calls and sms to all but only to give you 200 MB of traffic. With the piano Relax and Relax Suit , you will always get calls and messages, respectively, but no stop 2 GB or 5 GB of high speed internet, the cost of the latter two promotions, in order, is 45 and 75 euro per month.
What has 3 Italy ? The Samsung Galaxy Alpha you can purchase a subscription with an initial contribution of 99 euro. Plans to associate with the device are two: Top Unlimited and Unlimited Plus Top. The first 25 euro per month, provides unlimited calls and text messages with 1 GB of data traffic, the second at 35 euro also grants navigation 3 GB unlimited and specifically one in 4 GB up to a maximum of 7 GB.
To conclude, Tim while not proposing his subscription plan for its Samsung Galaxy Alpha sells the device brandizato full price of 699.90. Of course the offer unless it is convenient for all. As for the phone to be elegant and beautiful to see, the display is not on par with a top of the range with a resolution of only 720p as well as the battery has un’amperaggio too small. Will buy the phone anyway?

Sold out the Samsung Galaxy Note 4: in Italy insufficient stocks? – OptiMagazine
Yesterday was the day of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 : taken from the commercial launch of the new iPhone 6 in Italy, as important as the beginning of the phablet sales of South Korean at home, it must be escaped many. Yet, the story must be told and examined in great detail.
While in Italy the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 should peep only in mid-October, the Asian brand, with great surprise, he decided to push a first round of direct sales in South Korea, so much for “easy to play” and be eligible for an audience of loyalists. The initiative worked, as the first smartphone stocks have all been snapped up in a few hours . Yeah, all the goods in stock, but exactly how much?
BGR.com ago and clarity reveals the volumes of the first sales of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, ie, only 30,000 units . The three major mobile carriers in South Korea had collected the first preorders but then block them for lack of specimens and just yesterday, during the day one of the phablet was not possible to go beyond a so few phones in the face of a question that would seem to be was higher.
Analyzing the story, I can come out only a matter of fact. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was not ready for this first round of marketing , but rather the symbolic date of 26 September was chosen to cope with a very different world launch of the iPhone 6, which in its first weekend of sales, remember, has sold 10 million units. In comparison, 30.00 units seem almost ridiculous.
The question now is another, well past the “awkwardness” of this first commercial experiment, the middle of next month, the stocks will be sufficient for the final launch the device? On the other hand it was the same Samsung to declare that by the end of October, the phone will be released in as many as 140 countries. Many Italians they are waiting anxiously for the release and certainly would not want to be left high and dry.
Samsung Galaxy Mini S5 vs Sony Xperia Z3 Compact: price and … – PassioneTecno
Among the top most compact smartphone here is a comparison between the new Samsung Galaxy Mini S5 and the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact: price and features hardware
Not all consumers love the new top of the range Android devices that tend to have larger and larger display, with dimensions that exceed regolamene now the 5-inch diagonal; for this market big brands have started to introduce the most compact smartphone with hardware but always of a high standard; Today we analyze the Samsung Galaxy Mini S5 and newcomer Sony Xperia Z3 Compact that has surprised many.
Sony Xperia Z3 Compact vs Samsung Galaxy Mini S5
Galaxy Mini S5 was presented in June this year and has begun sales in Italy at the end of July beginning of August, while Xperia Z3 Compact is not yet available in our country but it will come in October in 2014.
Let us then make a first comparison between the hardware specifications of these two smartphones inspired by some foreign reviews:
DISPLAY : Galaxy S5 mini comes with a display of 4.5 inch diagonal high-definition 1280 x 720 pixel Super AMOLED technology, while Xperia Z3 Compact uses a classic 4.6-inch IPS LCD with the same resolution and X-Reality technology and Triluminos engine; we do not find substantial differences in the density of display pixels (326 ppi to 319 ppi for the first and the second) but in the quality of contrasts, blacks and the viewing angles that are in favor of the panel model uses Samsung; the new Super AMOLED (also used on the original Galaxy S5) offers natural colors and it reads very well in the light of the sun; panel of the Sony model is quite valid but does not have that quality.
Processor : This field Xperia Z3 Compact is king because its chipset quad core Krait Snapdragon 400 801 operating at a frequency of 2.5 GHz combined with the Adreno 330 GPU delivers performance for the most double, if not more, than the good but always consists of four core Exynos 3470 Cortex A7 operating at a frequency of 1.4 Ghz and GPU Mali 400MP4; Sony is currently the model then the real compact with processing power without compromise.
MEMORY : both terminals mountain 16GB of internal memory expandable with micro sd (64GB and Samsung 128GB Sony) but have a different amount of RAM: 1.5 GB for S5 Galaxy mini and Xperia Z3 2GB Compact; multitasking is of a good standard in both the smartphone even if Z3 Compact will have some more possibilities.
MULTIMEDIA ‘/ CAMERAS : The difference in this field is quite obvious since the Sony model uses a 20.7 mega pixel rear camera with autofocus and LED flash that allows you to take pictures at a resolution of 5248 x 3926 pixels and record video in 2160p Ultra HD at 30fps, 1080p at 60 fps and 720p at 120 fps in slow motion; Galaxy mini S5 has a posterior chamber more modest 8 mega pixel camera with autofocus and LED flash that allows you to take pictures at a resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels and record video in full HD 1080p at 30 fps; Cameras front of the two phones are almost identical with a 2.1 mega pixel sensor for the model Samsung and Sony 2.2 mega pixels for that; multimedia is therefore to the advantage of the Xperia Z3 Compact that more can play in Ultra HD video and stereo speakers.
CONNECTIVITY ‘: Both terminals have their pros and against them; both of them have the ability to connect 4G LTE Cat 4 up to 150 MB / s, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS + Glonass, the Wifi 802.11 Dual Band (although the model also supports the Sony BC) to the USB 2.0 port with Host, OTG and NFC chipset; the differences are in the fact that the Samsung Galaxy Mini S5 has more in the scanner for fingerprints, the heart rate monitor and the infrared port, while Z3 Compact has the added FM radio and TV-out via MHL port with USB 2.0.
DESIGN : the form factor of the Samsung model is more rounded edges with more circular while the Sony model is more squared; from the point of view of the quality of the materials Xperia Z3 Compact has a body in plastic and glass while that of the model Mini S5 is all plastic; dimensions indicate that Galaxy Mini S5 is thicker (9.1 mm vs 8.6 mm), but is also a bit ‘lighter than 120 grams vs 129 of Z3 Compact; Mini S5 is certified IP67 and IP68 Z3 Compact is certified, then both are resistant to water and dirt in general.
INDEPENDENCE : the phone of Sony is a champion d ‘ autonomy while having a not particularly powerful battery of 2600 mAh and exceeds the battery life of the Samsung model has an amperage of 2100 mAh; Maggiora the difference can be seen in the stand-by and use common phone because at this juncture Xperia Z3 Compact offers many more hours of battery life compared to S5 Mini; specifically the autonomy of telephone calls is 16 hours and 40 minutes for the Sony compact while the Samsung model will stop at 12 hours and 18 minutes; in the test while surfing the web, you can stay on the internet for 13 hours and 14 minutes of Galaxy Mini S5 while on Xperia Z3 Compact will have a battery life of 14 hours and 52 minutes; if you like to play videos on your smartphone even in this case the difference is very high with more than 4 hours of autonomy for Z3 Compact reaching as many as 15 hours and 3 minutes of play against the 11 hours of scarce Mini S5; According to experts a user with low average utilization with the compact Japanese might get to do 3 days or 4 before recharging the battery; the user with more intensive use could be up to 2 days.
OPERATING SYSTEM : the Samsung Galaxy Mini S5 are the KitKat version of Android 4.4.2 with TouchWiz custom interface, while on Sony Xperia Z3 Compact will find immediately the Xperia interface with 4.4.4; both interfaces have their own features and applications customized by individual producers.
PRICE is already present in the Italian market by a few months Galaxy Mini S5 can be purchased at a lower price baso compared to that at 499 euro’s Xperia Z3 Compact; the Samsung warranty with Italy being just about 360-390 euro online in known national retailers; the difference in price of 100-130 euro, however, could fall towards the end of the year.
CONCLUSION : If you want one compact Android smartphone with a beautiful display that ensures natural colors, absolute blacks, high contrast, viewing angles are excellent, good battery life, connectivity interesting and want to save a bit ‘then the Samsung Galaxy Mini S5 is right for you; but if sometimes a phone without compromising processing power, multimedia from top of the range, independent high-level Sony Xperia Z3 Compact can be considered the best smartphone of 2014 compact on the market.

To give you an example, MediaWorld and Unieuro have it in a catalog 699 EUR , a figure well above 549 EUR applied by the retailers themselves to the Galaxy S5. Fortunately, however, some e-commerce as Expires and Memtech , respectively, offer it to 649.99 euro and 615 euro (small consolation).
Although consists of a frame and metal side bands (the back cover, remember, is in eco -skin), the Samsung Galaxy Alpha than the Galaxy S5 flaw in more ways than one: 32 GB memory is not expandable, NanoSim, limited capacity battery (1860 mAh soon), display at 720p.
A Price so high it surely erode the store, unless declines in a short time. Buy it now would be foolhardy: much better to wait a few weeks, at most three months, to see significantly reduced cost. By the way, please note that by doing so, you will also witness the launch of the Galaxy A5 (made official by the end of the year), a mid-range terminal with all-metal unibody body that could also give great deal of trouble to Samsung Galaxy Alpha.

Camera Samsung Galaxy Note 4 of S5 better results – OptiMagazine
How does the Camera Samsung Galaxy Note 4 ? We bet you’re wondering when the phablet fourth generation was introduced last September 3. The device, remember, enjoys the same main sensor of 16 MP Galaxy S5 (including the HDR and Selective Focus Flash), even if perfected dall’OIS, valuable for obtaining photo and of a certain quality video even in motion.
It is no coincidence that the South Korean company cares with so much detail compartments photos of their top of the range, endowing each time of useful devices to improve more and more the experience of use.
To give a better idea, we propose to follow a series of shots taken by Eldar Murtazin , well-known Russian blogger who often gladly try and use in evidence of this type.

Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7: the prices of the variants of Galaxy Alpha – PassioneTecno
A New rumors about the series of Samsung, or variants of the Galaxy Alpha, indicate the alleged sales prices of the Galaxy models A3, A5 and A7 which should be presented by the end of this year.
We had already talked about in previous posts Samsung Galaxy Galaxy A3 and A5 and A7 respectively Galaxy alleged medium variant, not yet defined the current economic and Alpha Galaxy , the first smartphone with shell completely in metal Korean company.
Galaxy A5 super amoled display
The famous news site SamMobile with some whistleblower is able to provide the general public a new series of information rather Interesting that affect the prices of these devices and their level of connectivity.
From what has been leaked, we know that all three of these series smartphones Galaxy A will have a connection with support LTE or 4G, although we do not know of that category (Cat 4 up to 150 mb / s or Cat 6 up to 300 MB / S).
Another fact that we were missing abbiamod ect as previously the price of each sigolo device; from what has transpired it would seem that Galaxy A3 the least expensive of the three cost about between 350 and $ 400 Americans, Galalxy A5 will settle on the 400-450 dollars , while Galaxy A7 cost more than $ 450 and less than 500 .
The model remains unknown up to now the A7 variant which should become ua variant “special”, or that will be sold only in certain selected markets and not at the international level as it will most likely happen to A5 and A3.
This restriction of the sales market for A7 is due to the fact that Samsung is afraid that such a model should be to collide with the Galaxy Alpha and thus decrease the sales of the latter.
I remind you that the variant Economic A3 Galaxy Alpha will maintain a design very similar to the original thickness and weight quite content, just have a less powerful hardware since according GFXbench will use a 4.8-inch display with a resolution of 940 x 560 pixels, a quad core processor with a possible 410 Snapdragon chipset running at a frequency of 1.2 GHz, an 8 mega pixel rear camera, a front 5 mega pixels, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory expandable.
The Samsung Galaxy A5 will instead be the mid-range variant of the Galaxy Alpha display with a larger 5-inch diagonal and a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, a quad core processor operating at a frequency of 1.2 GHz, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory expandable to 13 mega pixel rear camera and front 5 mega pixels.
There are still doubts about whether the new series “A” of the Korean company will be completely metal as the current Alpha model, or you use the high-quality material only for the frame while the rear bodywork will be machined plastic to look like metal too.
