I have now had my alpha for 3 or 4 years. Its still going strong, and is the best mobile phone i have owned up to this point. But that is also where the problem starts - there just isn't anything on the market, let alone from Samsung, that i would swap it with, let alone pay the large purchase price to buy. My previous phone was a galaxy s3 (after an s2 and an s) - a phone that was good, but ALWAYS annoyed me because i had to constantly shuffle it around my hand to use it. It was just TOO BIG. Yet when i look at the market now, that s3 would be considered quite a small phone, and there is nothing....... NOTHING!! on the market that has anything approaching the Alphas' specs, and build quality in a similar size case - unless i ditch android (something i am starting to consider for the first time). The closest Samsungs are the A3 and A5 - but they don't even have specs to match the Alpha, let alone exceed it, so why change. To anyone reading this - if you have an Alpha, consider yourself lucky. If you don't, and are looking for a great phone - get one (if you can find one!) - its still the best android on the market. S7/S8/S9 AWFUL unwieldy oversized rubbish.......seriously Samsung - where is the full spec, compact flagship model??

You are giving LTE with 1860mah. Good phone but with not a good battery timing.

Worst battery life.wont stand a day but other features are good but we do not get marshmallow life s5 so it is not as good
