From the images, it is evident that Samsung is not aiming for an overhaul in terms of design, instead focusing on making the device feel more premium. To this effect, the Galaxy Alpha has a metallic frame around the sides, much like the Xperia Z smartphones. The latest leak highlights a more polished metallic frame to the one we've seen in earlier images of the device.

The Galaxy Alpha is said to sport a 4.8-inch 720p display, Exynos 5433 PU, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB storage, 13 MP camera, fingerprint scanner, a nano-SIM card tray and Android 4.4.4 KitKat. Samsung is rumored to launch the device on August 13.

What do you guys think of the design of the Galaxy Alpha?
