Last year, Samsung announced the Galaxy Alpha, the first high-end smartphone in their range with a part-metal body. The handset was a good, yet flawed step forward for the company, failing to live up to its premium price tag from a hardware and battery life standpoint. Rather than completely dropping the Alpha design, Samsung reworked it for a new and much more compelling product for the mid-range market. The A5 is a $400 smartphone inside a $700 body.
