I miss all the Samsung phones between 2014 and 2017, best years hands down.
That thing should be called the Samsung Galaxy iPhone lol
Lol yeah
No! Just no.
Nah son
iGalaxy ?
Nope!
Samsung did a awesome job copying the design of the iPhone
Apple did a great job of copying the design of the Galaxy.
Clay Campbell not really... -_-
Apple did an awesome job of making an easily bendable phone..
Haha design? Are you serious the bendable design the Iphone has. LOL
I don't think that they copied the design of the iphone, but it is clearly made to compete with it and it is certainly marketed to people that think that aluminium means "premium build". They even took out the feature of increasing the memory with a microSD, but at least you can still change your battery easily.
Dude,you have the BIGGEST hands that I have ever seen! All the phones you review,the phones look tiny in your hands.
But keep up the good work Mike,I really enjoy your reviews. They all all very complete with all the information that we will need to be able to start using the mobile right away.Great!!
The iPhone sounded like it was peaking in volume when you did the sound comparison at the end of the video.
It actually cracks a bit, both are at Maximum.
Thanks for the new video! I like that Samsung is finally making a smaller but not minuscule phone. Keep making those videos! You're doing a great job!

Can't do a video without it! :)
@Julian Jacoby wtf man what are you
Easy mode = Grandma mode😂😂😂
That's the funniest thing I've ever heard.
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
@Felipe Braylen instablaster :)
The beginning of the Galaxy A series.
The accessories given with it are amazing.. and also the features
The only problem with this phone is the battery and that its not water proof... (Still better than the iphone 6 though)
하마 the Battery is Just for the Korean version, for Other versions It's Not the same
If my iPhone ever fails me. I would definitely buy this phone. Your video was very descriptive and covered very important features. I like the power saver feature and the nano Sim.
Me galaxy a10s
how about they make a galaxy beta now?
+ManjoBanjo57 :p
Forever Alone yea ikr?
I think Omega sounds cooler
llama π okay
How bout a Galaxy Delta
Best reviewer on TH-cam specially with front and rear facing camera .!!! THEY NEVER DO THAT. But you do
Awesome as always mike!!
Thank You!
***** love your reviews!!! i look and see if you have reveiwed a phone before i buy it! Lol.
I got one of these a few months ago and bought a s cover case for it. Man I wish I could go back in time to use this phone at it's fullest because I really love the design of it and it's kinda adorable
I love this phone very much☺😊☺,i am using from 1 year,no lag at all,this is the only phone in the world which we can type letters in the keyboard without touching the letters on the keyboard by enabling touch sensitivity feature (try hovering the finger above the letter which u want to type),proud to be a Samsung Galaxy Alpha owner
i just got the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. Its amazing and I cant thank you enough for thos video! If I hadnt watched it I would have big problems getting used to the phone. Thank you
YES
The one thing I like most is that your reviews are very In-depth
Who is watching this with their own Samsung Galaxy Alpha 2015?
Me
I do😀‼
me
Moi!
me!
FYI all displays use subpixels in one form or another. Samsung uses a variation of the PenTile subpixel layout for their displays (rather than the more standard and better-looking RGB subpixel layout), which I think is what you mean rather than calling it a "subpixel display."
Did anybody honestly know that Apple and Samsung exchange ideas? 😂😂
Thanks for this Video, I am getting an Alpha for my birthday and now this has made me feel like it was a brilliant decision
Should have named it Samsung iGalaxy
How is Samsung copying the Iphone when the Iphone has a bendable design #Bendgate and Apple copied Samsung with the Iphone 6plus.
Except shamsung phone are all shit
Why would they name their phone another word for shit? i at the beginning of any phone name makes it shit.
Great balanced honest thorough review, nice to see... unlike many tech blogs that underplay Samsung or lie. Just one thing, when you do a closeup of a phone, give it a wipe first.
it's the sexiest phone ive even seen. i'm getting it for sure ...
5 years later, what do you have now?
@@Brand2Tiny
OnePlus 7 Pro 🤹
@@N.Looping Cool! Wasn't expecting a reply this fast. Currently have a LG Aristo 2+, but will be switching to a Pixel 2 soon once it arrives.
@@Brand2Tiny
Google pixel is overrated 😉. Yes it was pretty fast coz I was holding my phone 😂.
@@N.Looping I suppose it is.😂 I'm only getting it cuz it was around $135 unlocked on amazon.
I'm in love with this phone. I was swaying towards getting an iPhone, but this is the icing on the cake.
I like you so much detroitBORG :-)
I love it
I love it
You are awesome
What baffles me who in the world likes watching an unboxing of a product. I can't believe there are people out there love this thing
I bought this and got the GearFit for free. I'd say that's a deal!
You always have the most thorough yet enjoyable videos.
Looks exactly like an iPhone 5 with an element case
Not really.
Exactly.
TheReal JFZPlaysMC iPhone 5 w/Element case.
The thing is, is that this is actually HD unlike the iPhone 5s and lower. Plus this is like 10x better
Very Thanks
I Love You
its an amazing phone i love it
i bought 5 galaxy alpha for me and for my family
thank you
6:46 LOL :D
I know that everybody is complaining about this phone only having a metal frame but I actually help one of these in a shop today and I was surprised by how premium it felt - it really does work well when you see it in the flesh in my opinion. If I were looking for a new phone I think that this one would definitely be an option for me.
I bought a Galaxy Alpha last year. It was called the iPhone 5 ;)
Just held this phone in my hands today at the ATT store and I think I found my next smartphone I'll be honest the 720 p screen looked fantastic and the phone feels just amazing in the hands
Have seen a few reviews of the galaxy alpha and this one was the better by far.
Good job and thanks a lot.
Had an iphone 5. Meh.
Got this phone. IT'S PERFECT IN EVERY WAY.
+Lottie Melvin i have a 5 and im getting the alpha for xmas should i do it
+xXTas3r FTWXx Well I personally want this phone because the budget is really good for what it offers. I take it as a upgraded S5 or a little brother to the Note 4. But be wise with what you want. Coming fro iPhone to Android is a whole new world. I for sure want this phone because I invested in a school laptop, but I can also use an upgrade. I don' have the greatest budget I'll say that. But this phone is like $200. Very affordable smartphone. But it's all up to you really. I'm totally buying it.
ixT0PSH0TZxi the specs and camera for the price is amazing and im getting it to :D
xXTas3r FTWXx Nicce, lemme know how it goes.
ixT0PSH0TZxi Ok Man

is it still a buy in 2016?
I hope so I'm thinking of buying On my bday
we can't buy this phone anymore sadly, cuz they dont make it anymore, if you found a link send it to me pls.
A few on Amazon. Don't trust the eBay ones as they are mostly fake. There are a few on refurb phone sites as well.
It's still available in my country, but very limited stock. it costs about USD 190, comes with samsung official local warranty
sal lewis no, usually i have phones for 2 years but this phone has inly lasted me 1.5 due bad battery life (bought a new battery) and slowing down alot
just got this phone today on upgrade, and after having the iphone 4 and 5 im hooked to Samsung already. the stuff you can do on it compared to the iphone is unreal. light years ahead of apple
It looks so tiny!
You're one of my favorites reviewers. Great job with the Alpha.
After watching this I may buy my first Samsung device because of you. (hard die nexus fan)
Looks like Samsung's heading down the wrong path. This is a DOWNGRADE. Especially for $777.00
Yeah, bought it and returned it back for the S5. I liked the premium feel of it and it's small foot print compared the its Galaxy predecessor, but a smaller camera and battery, and not to mention pricing killed it for me.
777.00?$ really I thought it was only like 600$
This is like a secondary Galaxy model like the grand and vision
One plus one = $300
iPhone = $700
Samsung = $700
HTC = $600
~estimate.
Tell me, would you rather have a 1000hp Mitsubishi for $60,000 or a Lamborghini for $200,000?
Andrew Kim A car with 1000hp isn't going to last long. Maintenance would be a b**** and a terrible investment. But yea why do people buy expensive lambos? Because they can...the way people use and spend there money is all on personal preference and opinions
Thanks for being one of the best american speaker that we can understand very well while speaking in english !!
For a foreign i could comprehend everything. Nice review too !
lol PREMIUM PHONE? It has a shitty screen (by Samsung standards) and its has plastic backing. Why the fuck would anyone get this over an iPhone 6? Get an S5 or Note 4 if you want the true Samsung experience
Why the fuck would anyone get this over an iPhone 6? Are you serious! Have you been living under a rock these past days? Haven't you heard the Iphone 6 bends. Why would you get an Iphone 6? Knowing that it isn't durable?
No it doesn't the s3 is all glass and plastic
Reece flynn le'mme correct you, gs3 is made from ALL PLASTIC and glass... It's not all glass all plastic!
+GarciaGaming It's the iPhone 6 PLUS that bends if you really try, NOT the iPhone 6.
Timothy Castro No
IPhone 6 it's like Galaxy Note 2
I love your reviews they are so detailed for those tech geeks like me!!:)
You still a tech geek ??
First, LOL, is that still a thing? Haha anyways, nice vid dude!
Hey dude, I love your videos and I also like the fact that you make full reviews on the devices you get. You just won one subscriber. :)
Apple - Samsung - HTC who care ,{SAME SHIT} they probably buy all the parts for these phones from the same damn warehouse, and all you guys are fighting over which is better, I can imagine seeing the owners of these companies in a 5 star plus restaurant and bar drinking together laughing making jokes and bets on how many people will buy their phones instead of the other and the loser gets to pay for the drinks. whiles you people run out to buy these phones waiting on lines and can't even pay your credit card bill, rent or the phone bill.
Best review of Galaxy Alpha so far.
I just think the typical Samsung design looks like dogshit... I'm an iPhone user but the HTC one is a lot nicer looking.
Everybody has a different approach, the Samsung is considerably lighter and more compact than similar metal phones. Plastic construction has it's benefits.
The iPhone 6 and One M8 are very similar constructions. But people like you are the reason the market is so diverse nowadays. A phone some people consider the highest end are considered by others to be "dogshit" and I think that's good for competitive pricing and innovation in both hardware and software.
At least samsung phones don't bend! Ha took apple like 8 years to make a phablet and it bends!
HTC ONE LOOKS TRASH.Samsung Phones are way better.HTC IS 3rd COMPARED TO SAMSUNG WHICH IS 2nd and sometimes become 1st and iPhone becomes 2nd.
Roborav Yo this is from two years ago I think perhaps the market has changed since then
First Samsung phone I've actually wanted
I like how Samsung claims their originality, yet this phone is evidently a design rip off.
Can Samsung fanboys explain??
Company's need other company's to copy off of or else phones now would not be how they are now
Can apple fanboys explain where apple got the idea for customizable keyboards? What about fingerprint print scanners? Motorola a
Atrix had finger print scanners first!
For some reason I find touchwiz very attractive on this phone more than any other galaxy phone. The design is also in my eyes up there with the best.
Anyone in 2021 lol
😂😂
I love how all the fanboys on iPhone videos attacking how the iPhone "copied" Samsung, but now they're not here to defend the Samsung "copied" iPhone's look. What happened fanboys??
Yeah Samsung are a bunch of idiots who make their phones into rectangles, can believe they would do that
Apple fanboys are like "THIS IS AN IPHONE RIP OFF AND IT'S A COPY!!!"
First of all, your blind and need to go to specsavers
Second of all, look at the back. Does it looks anything like the iPhone???!!!! A dimpled back vs a smooth back. A big camera on the top centre vs a small camera on the top left corner. An LED flash which is bigger than the iPhone. The Samsung branding is both on the front and the back where the Apple branding is just at the back. And the metal bumper, does it really looks the exact same?? No more bumper on the 6 and 6 plus. But 5&5S bumper is just one whole equal shape where the Alpha bumper has some curves and some things sticking out. Metal vs Metal and plastic. Apple just uses one boring material. Its bullshit iCrap
Srsly ppl, grow up.
Bought this phone yesterday and its amazing
Bend it
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I could...your point?
It's not a iShit 6+
This is the perfect phone for me! It's like the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini, but released in the US!
Nice copy of iPhone great job Samsung that's why I will never buy Galaxy
Because it's better?
You know that apple is buying things from samsung like the fingerscan
Don't cha
I’m low-key on the verge of buying this phone even in 2023 despite the fact that I have an iPhone 13 this phone will be great to have as a project phone/phone carry around when I only just need to just do basic items
Awesome review man, please do one for the Z3 / Z3c!
Planning one :)
Another great video, hoping this comes to sprint for my backup phone to my note 4
Mine is coming Tuesday :), now I will have the Alpha and the S5
Nothings better than a S3 and the Grand
Your review was very thorough! Nice work
This is the phone that started the change in Samsung moving to higher quality materials...
Thanks for the reply on twitter! keep it up all you've done! i like how you do with your video! i can't lie this is the best channel ever to watch unboxing and Review of all the smartphone!
Best Reviewer! Love your vids.
The best tech youtuber!
Awesome!
Does it have an IR blaster & memory card slot?
I'm gonna buy one even though it's 2017.
Awesome review. I watch these all the time and your is very good.
Great video, as always! Looking forward to the Note Edge video.
Thank you for this close to perfect review! The only thing I have to say is that you focus only on 'other Samsung devices' and the iPhone 6 in particular as phones to compare to. I'd have liked to hear your experiences in comparison to the Sony Z3 compact for example. But other than that I think this is one of the most complete reviews I've seen. Thanks a lot!
Still working well in 2023 as a telephone. This was the perfect size.
Woa. Nice phone you got there Mike. I love that metal frame. And i'm looking forward to see note 4 series of yours.
Detroitborg you are the best man. You are the BEST
Would you buy this over the more feature rich s5?
love how i have this phone for 2/3 years, droped it 8 times with it droping facedown half of the time, washed the screen once and it still works... too bad that i hated it whenever it froze though
Nice detailed review. You found a fan ☺
Perfection to the core with all your reviews mike!!!! Good job!!
This phone reminds me of the best Samsung phone I have ever used, galaxy s2. I hope Samsung's galaxy s6 will take the same concept as the s2 and alpha.
Awesome video man. Great job!
As always, great review.
Regardless your marvelous video....your live in amazing pristine and lushy area
After handling the phone the other day, I think it feels amazing! Although I won't be getting one due to the high price tag. I'll save my upgrade for the Nexus 6
The best samsung device i've ever seen
A Samsung Galaxy Alpha vs. Motorola Moto G video would be awesome!
I would like to buy one aften this Nice review. I dropped a like for this awesome video, keep up the god work
I'm more of a fan of large phones like the Note and iPhone 6 Plus, but I'd happily use this phone everyday. The design looks perfect and the performance is excellent!
Great job Mike! Loved it!
From these now top models i am interested only in one thing. Dropping those few times and see if companies make more effort to protect screeen.When you pay quite a small fortune for phone you expect to be strong also.
You did an excellent job at reviewing this phone! Thank you:)
Great review as always.
i love your review they are really in depth review i like that thanks
