Samsung Galaxy Alpha to be discontinued by next February

Samsung is about to discontinue its Galaxy Alpha in the coming weeks. According to a report by ETNews, Galaxy Alpha will be replaced by Galaxy A5, which is set to launch in South Korea in early February. Production will come to halt once inventory for its materials is exhausted.

Moreover, Galaxy Alpha made headlines due to its attractive design but hasn’t been a great smartphone in terms of sales due to its high price tag. Samsung has to rethink their approach due to stiff competition from Chinese manufacturers in the price-aggressive smartphone market.

Analysts and insiders have acclaimed the Samsung’s choice. The Galaxy A5 is having “better price competitiveness based on specifications than its predecessors, and its design is thought to be better than that of the Galaxy Alpha.  It is rumored to be price at $361 (KRW 400,000), which is quite meaningful according to- Chang Jung-hyeok, VP of Atlas Research.

The Galaxy A5 features a 5-inch 720p display powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 410 chipset 2GB of RAM, a 13MP rear camera, a 5MP front camera, 2300mAh battery with an attractive metal unibody design.

New images of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A3 leaked

Samsung Galaxy A3, A5 and Galaxy A7 price rumored

Over the past week, the “A” series models from Samsung are getting leaked with model numbers SM-A300, SM-A500 and SM-A700 and are likely to be launched as the Galaxy A3, Galaxy A5 and the Galaxy A7. Each of these three device have once again been in news with their pricing along with some more details for the Galaxy A7. However, rumors have said that these devices would be available only in few selected countries.

This might be a strategically approach from the Korean tech giant as it has recently announced the Galaxy Alpha and with the launch of Galaxy A7, it is quite possible that it might overshadow the Galaxy Alpha. For this reason, Samsung might bring up the Galaxy A7 only to countries where the Galaxy Alpha would not be released.

Looking to the pricing these devices would stand for, it seems that the Galaxy A7 would cost somewhere around $450 to $500, the Galaxy A5 would be costing in between $400 to $450 and the Galaxy A3 would be the cheapest of the lot costing in between $350 to $400. Note that all these prices have been assumed for the unlocked versions of these devices. Another good thing from the connectivity point of view seems the inclusion of 4G LTE connectivity. The device are likely to be announced in a very short time soon.
