We’ve known about Samsung’s upcoming premium Galaxy S5 variant for some time. It’s been called the Galaxy Prime, Galaxy F, and now the Galaxy Alpha. While most people were expecting the South Korean company to wow us with high-end hardware and software specs, it looks like the Galaxy Alpha could be a little underwhelming. So, what’s the scoop on the Samsung Galaxy Alpha? SamMobile published a screenshot of Samsung’s developer console earlier this week (see image above), revealing a surprising display resolution of just 720p. Assuming the screenshot is correct, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha will run 720p resolution. Granted, that’s technically considered high-definition, but we were expecting higher resolution for its premium flagship variant. The launch-edition Galaxy S5, after all, features 1080p screen.

Take the Galaxy S4, for instance. The South Korean-based consumer electronics company released a Galaxy S4 Zoom, Galaxy S4 Active (water-resistant model), and a smaller and more affordable Galaxy S4 Mini. Since the Galaxy S5 is already made with water-resistant materials and technology, it’s highly unlikely Samsung will release a Zoom version. However, there’s strong evidence suggesting a Mini version of the Galaxy S5 is on the horizon. A user agent profile (UAP) for an unknown Samsung Galaxy S5 model was spotted on the company’s servers. The device in question was SM-G750A, which indicates an Mini version of the Galaxy S5 being available on AT&T (the A is believed to represent AT&T). If Samsung takes the same approach to the Galaxy S5 as they did the S4, though, it will likely be released…
