If you’re a Samsung fan and you love the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. So, you are may be a quite sad about this news which said that the Galaxy Alpha will no be longer after February. So, it’s a good idea for you to own one this time.

Samsung Alpha is probably one of the best phones Samsung ever produced — it’s certainly the prettiest and the thinnest with elegant metal design. This phone can be called the the first important step of Samsung inattempt to find out the user’s reaction with metal frame type. But its phone meets some stumbles, such as: the battery didn’t last long enough as well as a high-price so it have to compete against better-rounded rivals. So, it is the reason why Samsung Galaxy Alpha don’t meet the sales volume requirement as initially expected.

According to this report, the Samsung vendor will stop producing the Galaxy Alpha by early February. Samsung allegedly replace this phone by the Samsung Galaxy A5 with a mid-to low-priced smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy A5 is expected to enter to the mid-range market. “It has better price competitiveness based on specifications than its predecessors,”

That’s predicted to be the replacement for the Galaxy Alpha, at least on the Korean market. There the A5 is expected to launch in the mid-January to early February next year. Samsung will concentrate more on impressive handsets in its local market next year, and the A5 is the first of those.

“Most likely, the ‘Galaxy A5’ will be launched in Korea as early as mid-January and as late as early February, ‘Galaxy A5,’” said a mobile carrier insider. “I understand that it is priced at about KRW400,000.”

The Galaxy A5 will be cost at approximately KRW 400,000 (that’s about $363 or around PHP 16200). This phone is much more cheaper than its predecessor Alpha. Apparently, the Korian giant expect its phone will be more popular than the Galaxy Alpha, at least in Korean. Although Alpha is really not a huge success.

Samsung hasn’t confirmed any of this yet. So, be calm for more updates.
