Samsung to reportedly discontinue Galaxy Alpha
Samsung is reportedly planning to discontinue its Galaxy Alpha smartphones, according to a report from South Korean news ET. The electronics giant will phase out the Galaxy Alpha and replace it with the Galaxy A5 in its home market in January 2015.
The report says that Samsung will discontinue the production of the Galaxy Alpha by early February and it will be phased out as production ramps down once the current inventory of materials is exhausted. The Galaxy A5 will be priced at approximately KRW 400,000 which translates to $363.
The Galaxy Alpha was initially announced in August. It features a compact body with a metal frame, curved corners and a tactile soft back cover. The phone is one of the slimmest Galaxy devices with 6.7mm thickness and weighs 115gram. Samsung Galaxy Alpha sports a 4.7-inch HD Super AMOLED (720x1280p) display and is powered by Samsung’s Exynos octa core processor featuring 1.8GHz quad-core and 1.3GHz quad-core processors, and 2GB RAM.
Samsung’s new Galaxy A5 shares a similar design and has a spec sheet that matches, and in some areas, exceeds the Alpha’s feature list. It has a metal unibody design, a 5-inch 720p display, a quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 13MP main camera, a 5MP front cam, and a 2300mAh battery.
Samsung is reportedly making this move as part of its plans to focus on cheaper devices. There is no official word from Samsung regarding the discontinuation of Galaxy Alpha.

Apple offers 14 day refund for iTunes purchases in Europe
Apple is offering a 14-day, no-questions-asked return policy for all content purchased through iTunes, according to 9to5Mac. The latest offer is only available in certain cities of Europe.
The new policy applies to all items purchased through the App Store, iTunes, and iBookstore in the U.K., Germany, Italy, and France. To receive a refund, buyers can either use Apple’s online “Report a Problem” tool or send a physical cancellation form to the company’s European headquarters in Luxembourg. Apple will process the refund in two weeks’ time after it receives the cancellation notice from the customer.
Prior to this, Apple’s policy on returns was that customers could return without charge and without giving any reason until delivery of the product has started. Apple’s new policy does not cover gift cards or gifts on iTunes and hence cannot be returned. This new refund policy also appears to be part of a new consumer rights directive in the EU. Google still has not added a 14-day return policy for apps and other purchases to the EU incarnation of its Play Store, said the report.
