Samsung’s next phone in the “A Series” is set to have a full metal body.
The Galaxy Alpha, a fashionable smartphone of metal construct, was just announced last month, and it seems like Samsung is going ahead to launch new models in the “A Series” of fashion focused phones.
Only the model number of the phones are known, namely, SM-A300, SM-A500, and SM-A700.
While the Galaxy Alpha doesn’t have a full metal body as it has a removable faux leather back, Samsung firmware and upcoming devices website SamMobile claims that the SM-A500 will be completely made of metal, and won’t have a removable back.
The SM-A500 will allegedly have a 5-inch HD (1280×720) Super AMOLED display, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, 8-megapixel and 5-megapixel rear and front-facing cameras, 16GB of internal storage, a micro SD card slot, a 2,330 mAh battery, and feature Samsung’s Ultra Power Saving Mode.
Unlike the Galaxy Alpha, the SM-A500 won’t be dust or water resistant, and also won’t have a heart monitor or finger print scanner.
The SM-A500 should presumably run the latest Android OS, Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
