Galaxy Alpha/F specs confirmed

Following the tide of rumors concerning Samsung’s upcoming premium phone, it’s getting more and more likely we’ll actually get to see it in some point of time. And furthermore, according to a recent report, it might not even cause S5 owners significant buyer’s remorse.

The latest leak coming to us tell

the phone will either be name the Galaxy S5 Alpha or the Galaxy S5 F. Also, contradicting previous reports of a direct flagship-competitor with a 5.2’ screen, it seems the device will be more like Samsung’s version of the smaller. Sony Xperia Z1 Compact.

It will reportedly feature a 4.7’ FHD screen, paired with an Exynos 5 Octa-core processor. More interestingly, the phone will feature an attractive, slim metal body consisting of thickness of mere 6mm.

Concerning the release date of the future phone, more details have come up. The device might be announced on August 18^th, further confirming its arrival pre-iPhone 6. Interestingly enough, the iPhone 6 too is rumored to have a 4.7’ screen, so the Galaxy F might be Samsung’s direct competitor to the future iPhone. The phone will be available for purchase sometime in September.

This new rumor concerning the screen's size comes as a major surprise, since we saw pictures featuring the alleged Galaxy F snapped next to the S5, and seemingly being the same size, as well as the picture above in which we see a phone that seems bigger than a mere 4.7'. What do you think, is this legit or a hoax? The rumors are raining down, expect more info soon.
