Samsung Galaxy Alpha does it look to much like an iPhone?

[Paul627g]

Okay I know this could get ugly and I hope everyone realizes it and keep things in check (hint hint. play nice ). But it has to cross everyone's mind looking at Sammy's first offering of the Galaxy line in metal, looking much like rival Apple and the iPhone.

So lets sound off about it but play nice!

Yes, it does.

 

[Almeuit]

It does seem like they're trying to appeal to iPhone users look wise..

Yes but (IMO) uglier.

 

[BEARD GANG]

Yep

Does the HTC one look like an iPhone?

 

[nokia4life]

yes it does it seems like they took the iPhone and the element case design as their main change see for yourself can't argue with facts Element Case

No, it look like a Mini Galaxy Note 3, the Iphone as a different aspect, the large top and bottom bezels with the large round home button can be identified from some distance and the two phones don't look like two brothers as we can see from a GSMArena comparaison.



The comparaison from GSMArena show clearly than the Alpha and the Note 3 are from the same family.

Going to put this on here because I think it highlights the across the room idea:

I think it's a cool looking phone, but a bit minimalistic. That is what makes it too much like the iphone. To me Android flagships, like the Galaxys and the Ones and the G#s and the Motos and the Droids, have a few things brighter or blacker oozing nonconformity. The I series is very well built and the software and hardware are integrated very well and BORING. The truth hurts but if there was no iphone there'd be no smartphone and we'd all have moto razers. So I'm glad the iphone was imitaded, but I'm also glad it got so much cooler with Android.

IPhone is still much different, those phones are similar in design but they look much different

 

[sunburned]

At first I would have said yes, definitely. Then I saw the comparison to the Note 3 and I'd say it's much closer to that. So Apple can suck it.

Looks like a great idea to me. It's basically a Samsung version of the Moto X. I'll definitely check it out, but no reason to give up my X at this point.

Totes Magotes. 🍎 can suck it and the fanboys who will buy every single piece of dookie 🍎 passes of as an upgrade I just feel sorry for them. LG G4 will change the world

If you've if seen or held a Samsung tab s tablet it borrowed much of the design ques from that. Metal frame yet keeping the perforated soft touch plastic backing. I like it. I just hope they optimize its general performance with the exynos processor. I'm sure they will feel very different although at first glance it does look similar to an iPhone. If anything it looks like a metal framed Galaxy S2. Which I still have 😉

In those 2D graphics, the phones look different. But I saw a pic of both somewhere and they definitely share some similarities. It's funny really, considering the ridiculous litigation that Samsung would put out a phone even remotely close in appearance. Gonna be some good popcorn eating moments after this!

I see some resemblance, but I also agree that it looks more like a mini GN3 (Should be expected since it's a very similar product line).

At first glance and when viewed at certain angles, yes. However, the more you look at it it starts to look less like an iPhone variant and more like the Note line as mentioned.

Same here. The only similarities I see between the two are the flat metal edges, the overall slimness and just a little bit in the front bezels. So I can kind of see why some may think it looks like an iPhone at first glance. But as you look at it further, it's very different.

Well i think samsung is kinda money hungry based on what they make.

Since iphone users LOVE thier iphone,s so when they see a phone that looks "cheaper" dont get me wrong i have nothing against samsung and love the feel of the S5 kinda wish i had one so maybe when they see a "more-premium" samsung they want to jump.
Even though i think the battery is way too small for its specs and 720P screen isn,t the best.

So apple makes a iphone and it sells well so samsung makes a "enemy" to the iphone

My first thought was a mini version of the Note 3.
