According to the latest report, the Korean manufacturer Samsung is set to discontinue production of the Galaxy Alpha in the coming weeks. Samsung will be discontinuing the Galaxy Alpha and slowly replacing it with the Galaxy A5, which is set to launch in South Korea late next month/in early February. Production of the Galaxy Alpha will reportedly come to a halt once inventory for its materials runs out.
Samsung had officially announced its metal praising Galaxy Alpha, in the month of August. The Samsung Galaxy Alpha specs sheet includes a 4.7-inch Super AMOLED HD (1280 x 720 pixels resolution) display and is powered by Samsung’s in-house Exynos Octa-core processor clocking at 3.1 GHz. On the storage front, the device packs a 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage with no expansion slot present in the device.
Samsung is reportedly making this move as part of its plans to focus on cheaper devices. Replacing the Galaxy Alpha with the A5 will also help Samsung attract customers towards its Galaxy A lineup, which offer all-metal designs and attractive hardware and features at a good price.
The Samsung Galaxy A5 was launched in China, last month. Galaxy A5’s China version supports dual SIM and runs on Android 4.4 KitKat. The Galaxy A5 has a full metal unibody design. A5 features a 5-inch 720p Super AMOLED and is available in 5 colour options including elves black, snow white, a magical gold, pink sweet dream, and Knight dazzling silver.
The 5-inch A5 is a continuation of the Alpha’s design philosophy, emphasizing thinness and higher-quality metal construction. A5 is the part of Samsung’s brand new Galaxy A series, which also include A3 that has yet to make an appearance
