Best smart phone I've ever owned!

Let me start off by saying this is my first Android phone. My first smart phone was the iPhone, but after 5+ years of the same thing, I was ready for something different.
This phone is amazing! The size is perfect, the main reason why I bought this phone over the Samsung Galaxy S5. The 4.7" screen is perfect, and the phone is beyond light and thin. I can't even feel it in my pocket! I did buy a case on Amazon though, didn't want to take a chance of dropping it. The screen clarity and lighting is superb, I love the colors. The phone runs great, doesn't lag, and the battery can last me 2+ days. The best part for me is the camera, I mean WOW! I went to Good Guys car show last weekend and the pictures came out amazing #I'll upload 2 pics#. Not to mention it can shoot 4k video. I doubt I'll really use it, but it's there if I want it.
Overall this phone is perfect! Samsung did a great job!

I've had the Galaxy Alpha for about a month, and so far, I love it! It's fast, lightweight, and easy to setup and use. I chose the Alpha over the Galaxy S5 or S6 due to the size and sleek look. The smaller size is perfect for someone with smaller hands, like myself, as I felt the S5 was way too big and kept slipping out of my hands when I looked at it in the store. If you want Samsung Galaxy functionality in a smaller, cuter package, I say go with the Alpha.

I love this phone, smaller size without getting an iPhone. Full of features, my only complaint is the lack of accessories, but that's not the phone's fault

Love this phone. It is fast, easy to use, and has ton of apps and functions that I love...Switched to AT&T and not so sure about the service, as my first bill arrived and it is over $300 for a $140 plan..but the phone is great.

Absolutely LOVE this phone. Made the switch from I phone 4s to Samsung galaxy alpha. Will never go back. The size is perfect. I have small hands so the S5 I could see myself dropping all the time and it didn't fit in my back pocket of my jeans. This phone is the PERFECT size. Fits in my jeans pocket, my hand, a small wristlet. It is very light and thin. I was worried about battery life since it is a smaller battery but it is fine. Will last me all day and I just charge at night. The screen is bright and clear. Love the features. And love the gold color. Very happy with my purchase.

Bought this as a replacement phone for my son. Great battery, no case in stores, but got a heavy duty protective case online. Would recommend.

Just made the switch from an iPhone 5C because I changed providers. I'm still getting used to the Samsung, but it's been relatively easy to get to know. The size is good, not too big for a pocket, and the screen is nice and clear. I'll be trying out more of the apps and features soon, but it looks as if the Alpha will work well for me.

I love the fact that I can get the same great Samsung quality in a smaller phone. The camera is 4mp less than the Galaxy 5 and there is no SD card slot but with the standard 32GB memory (26GB with standard operating system loaded) I'm over the minor details. Size & quality are awesome!!! :-)

I bought this phone as a replacement to my broken Galaxy S3. This has been quite a step up. It has all functions of the S5 that I love without the inflated price. The only downside is the inability to extend the memory since there is no SD card slot

I went with a Samsung phone because I have a Samsung tablet and knew the learning curve would be much smaller. About 3 weeks after I bought the phone it just stopped working. Took it back to Best Buy and had a new phone 3 days later; would have been sooner but it was the weekend. The new phone has shown no issues yet so I'm hoping it was just a glitch. This is my first smart phone and so far I really like it. Texting works well and so do phone calls. It also seems to do everything else a smart phone should very well and I've not had any real issues figuring out settings, etc. So far, I really like it.

I've been with this phone for a month or so, I'm not so happy with it, previously I was using the Note 2 and I really liked it. I wish I had gone with note 4 or even the note 3. It's very hard to find things, I don't like that I can not get more memory, and and find that the battery runs out too fast for being new. It has a sharp look but that's about it. When i send or receive videos from other cell phone they are not clear. Next time I think I will be going with the IPhone 6 plus if choose to get away from Samsung brand.

Perfect size for my jeans pocket when I'm out roughing it in the woods. Limited cases available but Pelican Products makes one that is heavy-duty for my kind of work.
