Samsung's finally launched the much-leaked Galaxy Alpha, a fancier-looking but stripped-down version of the Galaxy S5. As expected, it sports a substantially different, less rounded design than the GS5, with metal sides that gives it a glancing resemblance to an iPhone 5s. The Alpha is also much lighter and thinner than its big brother at a mere 7mm. However, Samsung also slimmed the specs a notch: The screen is 720p compared to full HD (or quad HD on the S5 LTE-A), while the CPU is an octa core model (quad 1.8GHz + quad 1.3GHz), rather than the flagship's top-of-the-line Snapdragon 801. It also has a rather lackluster-sounding 1,860mAh battery, nearly 1,000mAh less than the GS5 -- meaning you might really need the available ultra-power saving mode. Other features include 4K video capture, S Health, a fingerprint scanner, Gear wearable connectivity, and the usual array of Google apps. There's no pricing yet, but it'll arrive in September in black, white, gold, silver and blue colors, depending on the market.
