JAM Online TV: Samsung Galaxy Alpha, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and ASUS Zenfone 5 16GB

0
Last August 17 at JAM Online TV, I talked about Samsung’s newest metal-clad smartphone, Samsung Galaxy Alpha. It is the first Samsung Galaxy device to sport a metal frame which is a highly requested feature by Samsung fans since all Samsung Galaxy smartphones sport a plastic body. Another device that I featured was a leaked photo of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 from GSM Arena. Just like the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, this device would sport a metal frame and a thin bezel. However, you should just take this news with a pinch of salt. And the last topic for JAM Online TV was the ASUS Zenfone 5. Yep, one of the hottest affordable phones to date and now, it comes with a 16GB variant. Check out JAM Online TV August 17 episode below.

We already think Xiaomi Mi 3’s pricing was insane. Well, here’s another product from Xiaomi that will shock you again.

Most power banks that are available in the market with that power are priced at P1,500 and up. The Mi Power banks would definitely better if you could pair it up with your Xiaomi Mi 3 since both has the same silver color and feel. The Xiaomi Mi Power Banks will be available on August 29, 12 PM at Lazada.

Samsung Galaxy Alpha is now official!

0

There were a lot of leaks of Samsung Galaxy Alpha lately, the metal framed device from Samsung and finally, it has become official today. Samsung Galaxy Alpha’s design is a leap from the all-plastic design of Samsung. Yep, Samsung Galaxy Alpha now sports a metal frame with elegant curves and a tactile soft back cover. It is also one of the slimmest Samsung Galaxy device ever at 6.7mm.

Samsung Galaxy Alpha Specifications

  • 4.7″ HD (1280×720) Super AMOLED display
  • Samsung Exynos Octa-Core Processor (Quad 1.8GHz + Quad 1.3GHz)

  • 2.1MP Front Camera
  • 1860mAh
  • Android 4.4.4 Kitkat
  • Colors: Charcoal Black, Dazzling White, Frosted Gold, Sleek Silver, and Scuba Blue
Samsung Galaxy Alpha sports a smaller display than the Samsung Galaxy S5 and it only has an HD resolution compared to Samsung Galaxy S5’s 5.1″ display with Full HD resolution. Unfortunately, Samsung Galaxy Alpha doesn’t have a MicroSD card slot and the battery is only at 1860mAh which is quite small for its size. No word regarding its price and availability in the Philippines. Maybe, Samsung Galaxy Alpha’s design would be the start of metal framed Samsung Galaxy Devices. What do you think? Do you like Samsung Galaxy devices with metal frames?

One of the hottest affordable smartphone today is the ASUS Zenfone 5 which is priced at P6,499.

If you find the 8GB Internal Storage not enough then you might be happy with this news because the ASUS Zenfone 5 16GB variant will soon arrive in the Philippines but I was more surprised to know the price of the ASUS Zenfone 16GB variant. You only have to add P500 from its original price for the 16GB variant. Yep, the ASUS Zenfone 5 16GB will be priced at P6,999. Pretty interesting, Huh?
