A variant of the Galaxy Alpha from the all-metal "A-series" has alleged leaked via SamMobile.
The SM-A500 appears to be a mid-range smartphone sitting in an all-metal body (without a removable back), with a specs list that reportedly includes a 5-inch 720p HD Super AMOLED display,a quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 8MP rear camera, 5MP front camera and 16 GB of storage. It will not include some of the premium features packed into the Galaxy S5, such as the fingerprint sensor, heart rate sensor and Ultra Power Saving mode.
The SM-A500 is also believed to feature a tray for micro SD and nano SIM card insertion.
According to SamMobile, the Galaxy Alpha will help Samsung kick off a new A-series of smartphones that feature a more premium-looking metal design. The devices are reportedly being dubbed the A300, A500, and A700. Furthermore, the A300 said to feature a 960x640 qHD display, while both the A500 and A700 retain the 720p resolution featured in the Alpha.
The Alpha, which was unveiled a couple weeks ago, packs a 4.7-inch, 1280 x 720 Super AMOLED display, either a 1.8GHz octa-core or 2.5GHz quad-core processor depending on your region, 2GB of RAM, 4G LTE and a 12-megapixel camera on its front.
The SM-A500 was also recently spotted running GFXBench, GSMArena reports.
The device's specs, however, are different than those offered by the SamMobile report. According to the GFXBench info, the SM-A500 allegedly pacls a 4.8-inch 720p display, a 12-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front shooter, 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. Furthermore, GSMArena notes that the smartphone has Adreno 306 GPU, meaning its SoC is the 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset. The 410 is mid-range, however, and would come with a quad-core CPU clocked at 1.4 GHz.
The device is also tipped for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, a compass and a gyroscope.
No other specs or details about the A-series devices are currently known, other than their alleged Q3 release dates.
