Samsung are about to launch the Galaxy A3 (4.5") £249 and A5 (5") £349 with full metal body and sealed battery not unlike the Galaxy Alpha. These phone were released in other territories at the end of 2014 and will be on sale in the UK on 12th February.

I thought Samsung had plans to simplify their range of phones.

I assume the Alpha's sit below the 'S' range, or between the 'S' range and the 'S Mini' range.

The Alpha isn't quite up to the S range spec but is a bit over priced. I assume the Alpha was an experiment to test the market.

I guess their new simplified range will be out this year with 999 phones instead of the usual 1000

Haha.

It's difficult to make price comparisons because it seems to fluctuate. I did look at an Alpha a while back in an O2 shop, and it looked ok (against my s3 mini ) and from memory was not that expensive.

They do need to make their line up clearer.
