The South Korean company Samsung has just officially presented the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, a mobile that is mainly characterized by incorporating metallic sides that do not quite coincide with the information that once appeared on a certain Samsung Galaxy F (which was expected to be Samsung's full metal casing smartphone). Leaving aside the reasons that this manufacturer may have for not launching a completely metallic smartphone on the market, this time we are going to take a look at the Samsung mobile models that did go on the market with a metallic casing.
This little trip in time is starring mobiles that have already become obsolete, but that does not contradict the fact that we are facing a good sample of the history of Samsung's metal mobiles. Only time will tell us if we will see new rumors about a mobile phone project with a metal casing by this manufacturer.
The history of Samsung's metal phones
Samsung Soul
The Samsung Soul was one of Samsung's pioneers in incorporating an all-metal casing. We are facing a mobile phone launched back in 2008, when neither Android nor iOS were operating systems that could represent some kind of competition in the mobile phone market. In fact, the Samsung Soul come standard with a rudimentary operating system complemented technical specifications such as a screen of 2.2 inches with 320 x 240 pixel resolution, an internal memory of 128 megabytesor a main camera capable of recording videos with a resolution of 320 pixels.
Samsung Giorgio Armani B7620
The next to incorporate a metal casing was the Samsung Giorgio Armani B7620, a mobile that hit stores in 2009. The Samsung Giorgio Armani B7620 was one of those removable mobiles that hid a physical keyboard under its screen, allowing the user to move the screen to one side, thus making the mobile look similar to a laptop. Some of its technical specifications we find a screen of 3.5 inches with 800 x 480 pixels resolution, the operating system Windows Mobile Professional 6.5, internal storage capacity of 8 GB or a main chamberfive megapixels.
Samsung Wave 3
Launched at the end of 2011, the Samsung Wave 3 was one of the last Samsung mobiles to incorporate a metal casing. Was a phone that incorporated a touch screen four inches (with 800 x 480 pixels resolution), the operating system bada in its version bada v2.0, internal storage capacity of 4 gigabytes and a main camera of five megapixels. In fact, the Samsung Wave 3 is also one of the best recent samples from the last few months of the bada operating system life cycle.
