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 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.
