Samsung launched the Galaxy Alpha, a somewhat cutdown Galaxy S5 on
the inside, but a much better device on the outside. Right from the
beginning it was clear that Samsung wanted people to think of the Alpha
as a more fashionable smartphone, a premium device that did what you
wanted it to do while also looking the part, too. While the specs of the
device aren’t all that, the Galaxy Alpha is definitely a good-looking
device built from some premium materials. That doesn’t seem to have been
enough for Samsung though, as they’ve released a Limited Edition of the
device covered in snakeskin leather in a number of colors. The good
news? These look great. The bad news? They’re for the
French market only.
Over at Samsung’s French website, the company details the partnership
with Jean-Baptiste Rautureau and Free Lance to create some really nice
looking Galaxy Alphas. They start at €649 ($795) and are available in
four different styles; Red, Brown, Black and a fetching Blue color.
There’s even more bad news for people looking to get their hands on
these as they’re only going to be available in 100 units each. Limited,
indeed. Other than the fact that these are high-couture names from the
fashion industry, there’s little different about these Galaxy Alphas.
These are the same 4.7-inch, 720p device that we reviewed a few months
back.
