Most Beautiful phone from samsung


The Galaxy Alpha is terrifically thin and light, though
that’s not the first thing you’ll notice about it. It
happens to be damn good looking too. The sheen from
those polished edges makes all the difference,
combining with the lustrous Super AMOLED display to
make a great first impression. Some devices look better
in press photos than reality — the LG G Watch R is a
recent example — but the Galaxy Alpha is exactly the
opposite. You have to see it in person to appreciate its
slick and refined look. Everything is appropriately
proportioned, the 4.7-inch screen size feels just right,
and ease of one-handed use is as good as you’ll get
from any device in that size class. Those who might
have felt let down by the new Moto X moving to a larger
5.2-inch screen may find solace in Samsung’s more
compact Alpha. Ergonomically, this phone is a delight. I
don’t want to call it perfect, but it kind of is.
I ACTUALLY LIKE A SAMSUNG PHONE BECAUSE OF ITS
DESIGN, NOT IN SPITE OF IT"
Like the iPhone 5S, the Galaxy Alpha feels almost lighter
than it should be. Scale up the iPhone’s height and
width to the size of a 4.7-inch display and you’d have a
device very similar to the Alpha. The chamfered metal
edging is the same — good looking but also prone to
scratching — and so is the comfortable fit in the hand.
Samsung’s handset seems to be anticipating the
rumored 4.7-inch iPhone coming next week, and doing
so in the best fashion possible. The Korean company
has produced a phone that’s attractive to the touch and
to the eye, raising its game in time to fend off Apple’s
latest assault. Whatever new iPhone emerges from
Cupertino on Tuesday will have to assert itself through
more than just good looks and a fine feel in the hand.
I'm not ready to crown the Galaxy Alpha as Samsung's
best overall phone — for one, the size of its 1,860mAh
battery worries me — but judged purely on its design
and the desire it's produced in me to have it, this phone
is a winner. It even manages to retain some of
Samsung's familiar personality with its patterned
surfaces and dimpled back. When paired with the iffy
plastic of the past, they felt like the hallmarks of design
failure, but here they add to the idiosyncratic appeal of
the device.
