There will be no shared spotlight at IFA then, Samsung unveiled the premium Samsung Galaxy Alphaweeks before the scheduled Galaxy Note 4 announcement.
The premium device has a metal frame exposed on the sides and a faux leather back similar to the Galaxy S5.
The Galaxy Alpha is a preemptive strike against a bigger iPhone, it measures just 6.7mm thick and weighs 115g. It's other dimensions are 132.4 x 65.5, comparable to those of the Galaxy S5 mini...
The Alpha flagship packs a larger screen, however, a 4.7" Super AMOLED with 720p resolution. The phone's heart is an Exynos 5 Octa built up of four Cortex-A15 cores (1.8GHz) and four Cortex-A7 cores (1.3GHz). There's 2GB of RAM and 32GB of non-expandable storage.
It will run Android 4.4.4 KitKat with TouchWiz on top including S Health and Ultra-low power mode. The phone will pack a fingerprint reader, heart-rate sensor and will be compatible with the Samsung Gear smartwatches.
The main camera is a 12MP shooter (it's not clear yet if it's ISOCELL or not) accompanied by a 2.1MP selfie camera.
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha boasts LTE Cat. 6 connectivity, dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0 . All of that will be powered by a relatively small 1,860mAh battery. Color options include White, Silver, Gold and Blue.
The phone will launch in 150 countries in September. Info from Russia points to a September 12 launch at RUB 25,000 ($690 / €515) price tag. Keep in mind phone prices in Russia are typically higher than in most of the world.
