The Samsung Galaxy Alpha (A) Series could be the tech company's biggest unveil after the Samsung Galaxy Note4.
The reports are in and the Samsung Galaxy Alpha series is expected to roll out after the Galaxy Note 4. What's more interesting is at least three devices will launch featuring metal components on their casings, a departure from Samsung's preference for plastic.
The biggest news next week is the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, the iPhone 6 (5.5-inch) best competitor yet. It appears the phablet will hog all the attention at the Samsung booth, and will likely outshine similar unveils, including LG's midrange offering, the LG G3 Stylus.
The Samsung A Series are premium devices in line with the Samsung Galaxy S5, possibly precursors to next year's Samsung Galaxy S6. A leak confirms at least three devices to roll out next quarter, featuring the same design concept of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha.
The phones will run on Android KitKat 4.4, with metal component on casings. With model numbers SM-A300, SM-A500, and SM-A700, these are supposed to target the same premium market, but with different price points.
Information on specs are scant at the moment, though the SM-A300 is supposed to have a qHD resolution of (960x540) pixels. It's yet to be confirmed if the other models will sport 720p or 1080p displays, though the leak source claims the devices will feature improved front-facing cameras.
Previous reports of Samsung's metal phone was somewhat confirmed with news of Samsung Galaxy Alpha, with a 1,280 x 720 pixel resolution, 4G LTE, and 12 Megapixel camera. It comes with an octa or quad-core processor, depending on the region of release.
Price points for the Samsung Galaxy Alpha are still undetermined, as well as launch markets aside from the UK. Samsung expects to overwhelm the competition next quarter with a wave of premium smartphones (source: cnet.com).
