Ang ganda nya :) meron naba nyan dito sa pinas? Mga magkano kaya yan? 599 euros? Magkano sa peso? Maganda sya.

Justin · 12 years ago

May dalawang variants daw yung model na yan:
– Alpha Q
– Alpha Q2

drew · 12 years ago

metal rim sides? baka after 1 yr mg fafade and lalabas yung plastic na material.

Writs · 12 years ago

Fruitloops, you sound like my nagger-wife!

shutter · 12 years ago

Baka sya yan tol. lol

Justin · 12 years ago

@Writs: Mas kaawa-awa ka pala kung ganun, bro.

FruitLoops · 12 years ago

1860mAh lang ang kailangan nyan kasi Exynos ang CPU at yan ang pinakamatipid sa lahat. Pinagyayabang yan ng Samsung kasi totoo. BASA-BASA din mga tols ‘wag putak ng putak gaya ng PWET NG MANOK. Sa susunod ‘wag tatanga-tanga ha? Lumalabas pagka NOYPI natin eh.

stella · 12 years ago

Your last sentence though.. you sound like dapat ikahiya ang pagiging “noypi.”

loopy loops · 12 years ago

and you sounded like a kpop fangirl who’s upset coz her samsung got bashed for being lame. yeah you sound more of a chatterbox than anyone here.

shutter · 12 years ago

@fruitloops dapat 1.5K na lang yan. Mukhang china clone ang itsura.Tapos ibebenta nila ng mahal. Pustahan tayo di magki-click yan o? pustahan ng username? LOL

Stella · 12 years ago

@loopy loops And where did you get the idea that that I’m upset? On the contrary, I agree with you but again… it’s your last sentence. That’s all I ever said. Your reply is so off. For a second there, I thought you had brains.

fo’ shiz · 12 years ago

So this is Samsung’s lame attempt at “premium” design. Impressive!

shutter · 12 years ago

Pwede na sa P1.5K yan.

Oona · 12 years ago

Looking at the video i think the main point is “our flaghip can now stand on its side! The new iPhone can’t anymore!”

Jops · 12 years ago

Ang ganda! Kuhang kuha niya design ng iPhone! Meron na rin gold version.

Samsungfools · 12 years ago

Samsung admittedly copied Apple’s designs. LOL

This is another ridiculous product ng Samsung. They should also consider lowering their price especially in the midrange sa price na php10k what you get is a mediocre phone compare to the likes of sony and xiaomi..

benchmark · 12 years ago

Does Sammy means Alpha for Apple? Anyway I think the strategy of Samsung of releasing a lot of phone in the market is not working…I think they should rethink their strategy.

Rainbow Rat · 12 years ago

Aside from the premium look, I do not see justice in buying this phone for its pricetag. Although, I hope the looks of the New Note 4 would be as nice as the Alpha.

metz · 12 years ago

Abe the battery is removable – android central has reported and shown this in their article. Please recheck ;)

archie · 12 years ago

Notice the sides? Xiaomi Mi4 edges ang itsura. Sorry Samsung, 32gb against 64gb? You won’t conquer Chinese and Indian market anymore.

Why release a product that is still in the alpha stage? Cant it wait for it to become at least beta? (-:

jd · 12 years ago

What i dont like about this fone:
1.2 front cam
Dismal batt
and the OVERPRICED TAG

ranjoranido · 12 years ago

mag cherry mobile ka nalang.

archie · 12 years ago

@jd Nalilito na sila kung anong product nila ang kikita sa market. They’re sales are currently struggling right now, bagsak ang 2nd and 3rd quarter (source: phonearena) kaya we should expect na ipoposition nila ulit ang products as high end status symbol phones.

archie · 12 years ago

*their sorry sa typo error

C · 12 years ago

c’mon @archie! It’s clearly not a typo.

Hater ng Hater · 12 years ago

ano bang phone mo?

jd · 12 years ago

@hater you’re asking me?

_montz · 12 years ago

kung iisipin ng mabuti, nakapagreLease na ang samsung ng phones na mas ok pa kesa rito, this phone is a faiLure .. nice specs though ,, still napakamahaL .. kapansin pansin din na di nagpataLo ang samsung sa apple and xiaomi .. but still taLo pa rin ang samsung .. hehe
