Finally! Samsung Galaxy Alpha

It took some time, patiently waiting like Gollum in the dark, but it seems and feels worth it so far. Of course, I had to port my number back to AT&T and sign up for one of their new-fangled Next plans, but it's done. I'm back to a capable Android phone.

Some specs:

- 2.5Ghz Quad-core processor

- 12mp camera

- 32gb internal memory

- 4G capable

- super AMOLED screen

- Android OS, 4.4.4 KitKat 

Dimensions:

132.4 x 65.5 x 6.7mm (quite thin)

115g

 

Mine's actually one of the black versions (2nd image).

Now, I just have to deal with finding a case. Since it isn't a hugely popular phone, it doesn't have quite the "case-following" as others. I will probably wind up with two options - 1. sticky back wallet pocket from Distl Union that I can keep in the front pocket without another wallet and 2. a simple, snap-on case to protect it when held in the back pocket.

My precious.
