Samsung Galaxy Alpha specs leaked by retailer and tipster

Octa-core innards and a flagship price tag


Samsung Galaxy Alpha specs leaked by retailer and tipster
The rumours are lining up
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha may still be the stuff of rumours, but that hasn't stopped one retailer from putting it up for pre-order, complete with a list of alleged specs.
Mobile Fun is the online store in question -although the listing already seems to have been taken down - but not before The Inquirer managed to grab all the juicy details.
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha was listed at a flagship-worthy £549, for which you'd apparently get a 4.7-inch 1280 x 720 Super AMOLED display with a pixel density of 320ppi, an octa-core Exynos processor, a 12MP camera with 'super-fast autofocus' and a 2.1MP front-facing snapper.
It's also said to come with 32GB of storage, 4G capabilities and a fingerprint scanner, though there's no mention of the heart rate monitor found on the Samsung Galaxy S5.

Metal mention

As for the build of the Galaxy Alpha, there's no image included but it's described as having a 'metallic design.' As with any pre-announcement listing we'd advise a healthy helping of salt with this, but it's a fairly detailed listing, so if it is guess work they're some quite comprehensive guesses.

In fact the specs match up with another leak that appeared shortly after, this time from @culeaks, which claims the device will have a 4.7-inch 720p display, an Exynos octa-core processor and a 12MP camera, as well as mentioning a few things which Mobile Fun didn't, specifically that it will have an 1850mAh battery, 2GB of RAM and run Android 4.4.4.

The new Twitter tipster also revealed some more images of the phone, giving us a good look at the metal edges and matching up with other recent images.
This is a new account, so it doesn't have any sort of track record, but the images look convincing and the specs line up with Mobile Fun's listing, so we may well be on to something.
