You area a great reviewer, imo. Your reviews feel like you are talking to me - not a t me. And you seem to get just the right amount of emotional involvement in your reviews. You truly seem to love cellphones. Plus, you have a very professional sounding voice
You can always disable My Magazine or install a launcher (unlike other OS). 720p is enough for a 4.7 inch phone. It has USB OTG so memory isn't much an issue. The rest of its other limitations (battery, camera, ingress protection, display size, processor) shall be answered by its successors for sure.
Powerful, amazing, and reliable. Well done yet again Pocketnow on uet another anazing review. I will personally continue to support your channel and applaud you for your professionalism and social friendly attitude and creating your videos. Great review 😁
Arguably one of the best reviewers out right now, much better than MKBHD's review of the alpha who took a bias approach to reviewing the product, no need for that. Anyways, good review as always sir.
I own this phone and the laggy interface can be fixed just by messing with a few settings. No root access needed just developer options. The battery is actually substantial enough. Going with 720p on this phone and. Thought was wise to preserve battery and increase fps in benchmarks. People claim to be able to see the difference but I cannot differentiate between a amoled 1080 and 720 screen. The phone is perfectly sized and the feel is amazing for a Samsung. There a few Chinese manufactured phones such as the Oppo that I would like to get my hands on for comparison but as for the US contract based phone this one has my vote.
Held this phone in Best Buy and it really does feel great in the hand. Just wish the battery was bigger. I've never been one to carry two batteries.. Mainly because I feel like I shouldn't have to. We're almost to 2015 battery life should be the priority of any phone. No matter how smooth the software is or how fast the processor is if you can't even use it.
An interesting phone which shows Samsung is at least paying a little attention to criticism. Unfortunately, they still need to work on optimizing/removing Touchwiz and not diluting their flagship phones so much. One Galaxy a year & everything else is a subline... especially when they pack micro-batteries like this,
Who is going to do the Blackberry Passport review? I absolutely know it is meant to be an enterprise device, but I'm really curious about how much more it can do, IE. Apps support, do you need to side load, how glitchy are the apps, music sound quality, Etc. I think Blackberry returning to its niche is the best idea, but for some reason, I can't stop looking at that square shape. Its hard to gauge size, but it seems like a squared-out Nokia 920 in size? It might not be the fastest, but these days, how much faster do you really need? Im just really looking forward to a review of this product and what everyone's hands on opinions actually are. I only ask this because you guys on Pocket Now seem the absolute most legit and unbiased. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work.
Looks good but I'd take the S5 , its Dustin and water, better battery life, has an IR blaster, 5 inch display, a better 16 megapixel camera plus Micro SD card expansion👏
This device actually has advantages on galaxy s5 because of the screen rez it will have better batt. life and performance, on the s5 it has a sd 805 but its 2k, here yoy have a sd 801 but its only running a 720p screen, so it will perform better, benchmarks don't mean a thing, i use a fps meter for my games.
123x234 yup but would you believe that a low end phone can perform better than a high end one? I myself switched to a low end phone and it performed better than the last phone i had which was high end at the time.
Thanks so much bro, should I get this? I just want a good battery which can be like mmm 4 Hours Facebook 2 Hours GrandTheftAuto: SanAndreas 1 Hour Instagram and Whatsapp 1 Hour Asphalt 8 Airborne 2 Hours light weight apps
+M.S. Projects you can get a battery extension kit on ebay and amazon it adds a couple of mm thickness but with the bigger battrey life it will do all those things
I'm thinking about tearing down my s5 to put gold bezels on it. I have the s5 white with silver but I want it gold so I might be changing it ( plus the fact that the silver bezels has some dents)
***** The edges on the alpha have slight bump on each edge so you can lay it on its side. The iphone 5 doesn't have that. So I don't see the similarities.
Except its 4.7' ,has Fingerprint and heart rate scanner, pedometer, ultra power saving mode, 720p amoled display, removable back and battery, 12mp camera, the side design is different And has Samsung written on the back.... Yes I can see how that looks like iPhone 5 😑
I played with the alpha in at&t and it feels good screen looks a lot better then the iPhone 6 and it feels even better. I didn't see much lag like the exynos Pocketnow has, but I also think its price is too high, the Moto x 2014 is a lot cheaper on contract and its a lot better.
No offense and you can write down your opinions but it looks like and iphone tbh i mean atenna bands, metal edges kinda familiar with most of apples lineup from the 4S to the 5S. Sorry again if i offended anyone.
I'm debating between this and the htc one m8 I need opinions on which one I should get! Price is not a factor because both are included in my plan. Please help!
Pocketnow I checked out your link and here was my response: This is about the dumbest phone related article ive ever read. To say that you can subjectively judge what constitutes good design and build quality, but that it is lazy and glib to make the subjective determination that because you use choose to use a case, the look and feel of the phone is not important to you. The link text to this article is 'smartphone cases dont excuse bad design' but it should say what you have actually argued, 'smartphone cases dont excuses you from not caring about what i care about (the physical look and feel without a case)and using your phone in a way i dont use mine(without a case)' You are right, as you point out more than once, aesthetics is subjective. But you cant then make the objective determination that a phones original aesthetic design is as or even more important than the aesthetic quality with a case. Its like stating that what constitutes a good paint color for a car you buy is subjective, but if you plan to repaint your car when you buy it , its 'lazy, glib, and flies in the face of an asperational spirit' to say the cars original color is not important. I can understand why you would appreciate the thought and motivation behind steve jobs caring about the look of hidden screws, but the reason your article fails is because your trying to argue that everyone should care about the look of hidden screws and if you dont thats something to be critical of. Just say, hey, i know a lot of you like to use a case and have one on your phone 99% of the time, but i really care about the original design quality and think there is something to appreciate so give that design a closer look and maybe you will find something to appreciate as well. Change the title to 'Case users, dont forget about your phones original build quality' and then express your subjective reasons why phone design is interesting etc. Making negative, objective statements under the guise of subjectivity makes you come across like a douche.
Battery is average ....its not that bad.According to gsm arena (legit battery tests) it can get over 8 hours web browsing / video playback . Which is ok . it comes with ultra power saving mode which I find really convenient plus removable battery.
I swear by the samsung keyboard... tried swiftkey and Google keyboard to try something new and changed back almost instantly... Although it is annoying they don't have an Australian keyboard... it's either us or UK :(
We get it you don't like the swiping fingerprint scanner. Since Apple owns the patent on TouchID press to unlock no one else is going to offer it, just move on and say it's a biometric sensor and leave it at that.
Samsung sells a 2500mAh battery for the Alpha right? Anyone knows how much that improves battery life? My brother has the phone and he isn't really a conservative person...
Note 4 still beats this and even has better Touchwiz software features. I also saw a video on the Samsung galaxy s5 running Android L. It looks interesting, and could certainly be a significant update for the Note 4.
I just can't seem fathom why they even release a phone with such an obvious lag in the UI in late 2014. Add the lag to poor battery life and I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone. It seems the Z3 compact is still the only small one worth considering.
Yes .. I still use it and it's amazing .. the battery lasts more than 24 hours if you use a very helpful app called (shutapp) .. It's been a year and I swear I love this phone more everyday
Alex Tapisevic Even Alpha is slow, If you want to buy older phone O suggest buying S7 or even S9 is significantly cheaper now since s10 about to come out
Ive just noticed that iphone has lower mp in the camera but have very good shots the same with alpha and s5 the video recording is the same and the camera is almost the same both very sharp maybe the alphas camera is better than the a5 u never know for just 12mp camera and water the s5 is water proof but dont u think that the alpha can last for atleast five minuted due to accidental drop in water and if u want a waterproof phone buy a sony xperia z3or z3 compact samsung always looks the same anyway so why not but samsung is still an amazing phone
Samsung hardware is getting much better. I really like the look of the Alpha & Note 4 but the software is just not there for me. Samsung fails at making a reliable daily experience with all the stuff they load on their handsets. Stock Android running on a Nexus or any other device is a much smoother and more reliably performing software experience.
Really enjoyed this Samsung Galaxy Alpha review by *****! Top job buddy!
Actually pretty good, I'll be taking even greater consideration for this phone when the Alpha 2 comes out. Samsung is finally becoming trust great.
I love how extreamly specific you are about the negatives and positives. One thing that really had me gutted... was the removed expandable storage.
You area a great reviewer, imo. Your reviews feel like you are talking to me - not a t me. And you seem to get just the right amount of emotional involvement in your reviews. You truly seem to love cellphones. Plus, you have a very professional sounding voice

My friend just got one of these, and I've gotta say, its a good looking phone in person.
When to expect the Lollipop update for the Galaxy Alpha?
Is it worth upgrading from iphone 5s to alpha?
Yes
Quimberto ya sure cuz alpha seems slower in other comparisons...
NoBasicNameYo No
+NoBasicNameYo i had a 5s and got the alpha and is 100 times better
Arguably one of the best reviewers out right now, much better than MKBHD's review of the alpha who took a bias approach to reviewing the product, no need for that. Anyways, good review as always sir.
this should have been the s5.....
So true

Thanks for the great review.. Is there any version of this phone that will work on Verizon Wireless? Thx
You can disable the My Magazine screen.
REALLY LOVE THE WAY YOU MAKE YOUR NEW LOOK FOR REVIEWING VIDEO~
Michael, I heard you would be getting the Z3 Compact, will you be doing a comparison on that VS the Galaxy Alpha?
Cheewii's Flatbox We'll do what we can! We're a little overloaded at the moment. ^M
Pocketnow Man, please, do it !
your reviews have become far better now that you mention some smaller nuances which are very important like min brightness and front facing cameras ;)
This phone is still good in 2017
Idk but imma buy it cause i always wanted it even though i have an iphone i still want it
Beautiful phone and so executive look.. This is pleasent in eyes.. I hope s5 is like this.
Held this phone in Best Buy and it really does feel great in the hand. Just wish the battery was bigger. I've never been one to carry two batteries.. Mainly because I feel like I shouldn't have to.

One Galaxy a year & everything else is a subline... especially when they pack micro-batteries like this,
So I'm battling between the Google Nexus 6 and the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. Which should I get?
I bought an Alpha. Held it one time at the AT&T store and fell in love with it. Nexus 6 was just way too big.
Alpha Nexus 6 is a ugly blob
Nexus 6 is a fail. :( Go for this one or Sony Z3 or M8 1
Alpha can actually fit in a pocket and forget about it, more usefull on a daily basis.

Most Excellent Review My Friend
OMG the battery....that damn tiny battery. its a solid winner with the exception of that battery:(
Well I guess resolution does make a big difference in benchmark scores. It outscored the iPhone 6 as well as Galaxy s5 on geek bench.
Looks good but I'd take the S5 , its Dustin and water, better battery life, has an IR blaster, 5 inch display, a better 16 megapixel camera plus Micro SD card expansion👏
Dust and water resistant... 5.1 inch screen
***** yeah i was typing to fast lol
This device actually has advantages on galaxy s5 because of the screen rez it will have better batt. life and performance, on the s5 it has a sd 805 but its 2k, here yoy have a sd 801 but its only running a 720p screen, so it will perform better, benchmarks don't mean a thing, i use a fps meter for my games.
Benchmarks are a general indicator of performance.
123x234 yup but would you believe that a low end phone can perform better than a high end one? I myself switched to a low end phone and it performed better than the last phone i had which was high end at the time.
boypula Of course, technology improves every year. A moto g is as good as an s3.
123x234 im saying they should focus more on performance since the resolution could only be pushed so much.
boypula I think 1080p is the best screen resolution, amazing clarity yet not battery wasting like 2k.
Hello Pocketnow, can you release an audio theme of your videos...its awesome..eagerly looking for one..
Thanks so much bro, should I get this? I just want a good battery which can be like mmm
4 Hours Facebook
2 Hours GrandTheftAuto: SanAndreas
1 Hour Instagram and Whatsapp
1 Hour Asphalt 8 Airborne
2 Hours light weight apps
+M.S. Projects if u like gaming go for a samsung note or lg g series
+Jade borromeo Man come on, Alpha G850F is EGP 2,400
while Note 4 is EGP 5,200, Note 5 EGP 7,000, Huge differencd
well in that case, u might like moto x(2nd gen), one plus one, nexus 5
+M.S. Projects you can get a battery extension kit on ebay and amazon it adds a couple of mm thickness but with the bigger battrey life it will do all those things
+M.S. Projects Lol. Didn't you hear what the reviewer said? The battery life is horrible.
Hey Michael, Could you do a video telling us about your favourite apps! Android and ios
I'm thinking about tearing down my s5 to put gold bezels on it. I have the s5 white with silver but I want it gold so I might be changing it ( plus the fact that the silver bezels has some dents)
Looks like an iPhone 5 from two years ago.
I don't see the similarities.
***** The edges on the alpha have slight bump on each edge so you can lay it on its side. The iphone 5 doesn't have that. So I don't see the similarities.
Except its 4.7' ,has Fingerprint and heart rate scanner, pedometer, ultra power saving mode, 720p amoled display, removable back and battery, 12mp camera, the side design is different
And has Samsung written on the back....
Yes I can see how that looks like iPhone 5 😑
Kinda like how the iPhone 6+ looks like a Galaxy Note II from 2 years ago.
You do not seriously think other than size the Note 2 looks anything like the 6 plus?
Why are you comparing again the alpha with the s5?
Because theyre like... brothers
Why not review the software alone, like with iOS 8?
I played with the alpha in at&t and it feels good screen looks a lot better then the iPhone 6 and it feels even better. I didn't see much lag like the exynos Pocketnow has, but I also think its price is too high, the Moto x 2014 is a lot cheaper on contract and its a lot better.
4hr screen on time is their minimum? Pretty high standards. I'm happy with 3-3.5 hrs
The question is: *Does it lags and bugs?* (everyone knows what Touchwiz is capable)
@RoshanChachane he didn't complain. He said it wouldn't make sense to put more on a 4.7 inch screen
What is the name of the game shown in this vedio? It's shiwn like a space and warplane. I need the name please.
Is there any lagging problem on alpha as it doesnot supports microSd card plz ans
Wait...What should I buy galaxy alpha or galaxy s5 mini...???
I also wanted s5 mini, but now i am gonna buy the alpha, it ow's the s5 mini in everything, it even scores better than the s5 on benchmarks
Neh,I think I will get the galaxy s5 because when I saw the gs5 mini it was so small and the galaxy s5 is also waterproof.
3:25 Why is the screen rounded at the four corners? Is that a Samsung thing or an Android thing? Watch the video, it happens a lot.
+NOSfusion Samsung thing, I presume
No offense and you can write down your opinions but it looks like and iphone tbh i mean atenna bands, metal edges kinda familiar with most of apples lineup from the 4S to the 5S. Sorry again if i offended anyone.
I'm debating between this and the htc one m8 I need opinions on which one I should get! Price is not a factor because both are included in my plan. Please help!
I think that you should get the HTC One M8 😊
Does It matter if a phone is plastic, When you are going to put a case on it anyways?
Daniel M Why not just build it right anyway? pocketnow.com/2013/05/16/smartphone-cases-dont-excuse-bad-design ^M
alright, keep your pants on. its only a wrong opinion. I stand corrected.
Daniel M You keep YOUR pants on, his reply was very calm and collected.

@24 seconds Michael Fisher does his Blue Steel Zoolander pose.
it seems apple and samsung made a design swap
***** *bent
a good vs. would be this and the sony z3 compact since they run about the same specs just with different designs
seen a lot of reviews here in youtube about this device but nobody mentions that it is also protected by gorilla glass 4
Samsung Alpha or Sony Z3 compact ?
Battery is average ....its not that bad.According to gsm arena (legit battery tests) it can get over 8 hours web browsing / video playback . Which is ok . it comes with ultra power saving mode which I find really convenient plus removable battery.
Where can I get that wallpaper?? Thanks
Pocketnow does this device does not worth an "After the Buzz" episode?
Excellent review....
I swear by the samsung keyboard... tried swiftkey and Google keyboard to try something new and changed back almost instantly... Although it is annoying they don't have an Australian keyboard... it's either us or UK :(
It is crazy how good this Phone looks in real life. I do feel like it fits better with a person that wears a suit. Maybe less so a life style Phone.
Can you use the note 4 charger with this????
please upload a review of Lumia 730 and its comparison with moto g..
When are you going to make OnePlus One review?

Whats the name of that green live wallpaper ?
So why hate iPhone 6 with same size, same resolution(approx) , better processor
Can you review huawei mate7 please im waiting for you review. Can 4gLTE going to work on usa network if I get from out side usa thank you

Wrong. Huawei Ascend Mate 7 Unboxing: Hands-On With A Monster ^M
A very informative review, thank you. Think I will pass and get the Note 4.
Is pokemon go compatible with this phone?
Samsung sells a 2500mAh battery for the Alpha right? Anyone knows how much that improves battery life? My brother has the phone and he isn't really a conservative person...
+Hariz Nonis A LOT
What next? Galaxy Beta , Galaxy Zeta , Galaxy Chi , Galaxy Epsilon , Galaxy Gamma , Galaxy Phi , Galaxy Omega , Galaxy Tau , Galaxy Rho.. what else?
Galaxy darude sandstorm
u wot m8 yEEES!!!!!!!!!!! XD
How do you turn off android wear on the alpha??????:))
Basicly something like a S3+ with the HunterF metal case, finally Samsung...finally.
Alpha seems a little bit smoothly for touch wiz.
So, Samsung unveiled the iPhone 6 months before Apple?
Note 4 still beats this and even has better Touchwiz software features. I also saw a video on the Samsung galaxy s5 running Android L. It looks interesting, and could certainly be a significant update for the Note 4.
The Note 4 will definitely be more expensive so it's not a fair comparison.
burningchicken99 Note 4 will be £575 in the UK. I don't know about America prices though.
morality1O1 the note lineup will average 200$ more in canada
They're two completely different devices. You can't compare them. The Alpha isn't meant to be a flagship device, unlike the Note 4.
I just can't seem fathom why they even release a phone with such an obvious lag in the UI in late 2014.
Add the lag to poor battery life and I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone.
It seems the Z3 compact is still the only small one worth considering.
Is the Phone good for today for about 250€? (Euro, not Dollar, dunno how much this is in Dollar)
Yes .. I still use it and it's amazing .. the battery lasts more than 24 hours if you use a very helpful app called (shutapp) .. It's been a year and I swear I love this phone more everyday
is it running lollipop or it got stuck on kitkat?
It's running Lollipop and Marshmallow confirmed and coming this year, maybe in a month or two
+Amjad Al-Bittar nice, I'm glad Samsung cares about its older devices
+Amjad Al-Bittar yeah, but at least they didn't forget about it considering it was taken out of the market earlier to launch its A series
And whats with the samsung s5 metal piece it does not look good on the phone
I´m buying this one today 2018 brand new for about 150 bucks, isn't that woth it or what?
Alex Tapisevic Na since android phones don't get updates after 2 years. Get S7 if you are good with rooting
@@kingh2310 well that isn't a problem for me. this is just an upgrade from a galaxy s3, yes that shit i was using.
Alex Tapisevic Even Alpha is slow, If you want to buy older phone O suggest buying S7 or even S9 is significantly cheaper now since s10 about to come out
S7 isnt old enough for me, im not really looking for nothing fancy, cant afford more than that too on a phone, i dont even use it so much.
Alex Tapisevic If you want older phone, buy iPhone 6s then at least it will be little bit more smooth then Alpha
Ive just noticed that iphone has lower mp in the camera but have very good shots the same with alpha and s5 the video recording is the same and the camera is almost the same both very sharp maybe the alphas camera is better than the a5 u never know for just 12mp camera and water the s5 is water proof but dont u think that the alpha can last for atleast five minuted due to accidental drop in water and if u want a waterproof phone buy a sony xperia z3or z3 compact samsung always looks the same anyway so why not but samsung is still an amazing phone
Don't like Samsung phones, and 4.7" is too little for me but damn it looks nice... and it's extremely comfortable to hold. Just a great phone overall.
Looks fantastic. .!!!
If you want a pocketable phone with high end specs, I'd recommend the Sony z3 compact.
The best
And this is where I must curse att....
5:20 that made me laugh
No doubt there will be a bevy of Fanboy hate in the comment section here but you got to admit the Alpha is a fine step in the right direction.
The Note 4 is going to be so awesome!
does it support fast charging 2.0 ??
+Grammy .V yep
+Wiscool13 100% sure? I think he said "Thankfully this phone is a fast charger" because of the small battery
the display of the alpha seems rounded off and cut to the edges... WTF!?
Hooray a phone with a chamfered edged metal band and the occasional white/black antenna strip. Like my iPhone 4 from 2010.
waiting for HTC Butterfly 2 review :)
I like it. Nicest looking Samsung.
i hope the S6 will look like this but larger with an sd card slot
8:56 4x "optical" zoom???
AT&T tends to confuse optical and digital. It's not OIS. ^M
Pocketnow Is pokemon go compatible with this phone?
why is there no reviews for the HTC desire 626
Probably because it's a budget phone.
7:26 Shouldn't it be 7.161Wh? (1.860*3.85 = 7.161)
does anyone know which game is playing at 3:12 ?
Would be the perfect phone for me if the hardware/specs were a little better and more high end.
When will they ever learn? No sd , no sale! A simple feature that even cheap devices provide.
Need to wait for the video to be 1080p...
Samsung hardware is getting much better. I really like the look of the Alpha & Note 4 but the software is just not there for me. Samsung fails at making a reliable daily experience with all the stuff they load on their handsets. Stock Android running on a Nexus or any other device is a much smoother and more reliably performing software experience.
that actually the first time ever i'm interested in a Samsung smartphone
