Samsung-Galaxy-A500-fcc

There are three new versions of the Galaxy Alpha series floating around, but the A5 seems to be the least shy of the bunch. That usually means that it's close to release, but another clue is the needed FCC approval.

The Galaxy A5 has officially cleared the FCC, but interestingly enough, it's only sporting the LTE-FDD Band 5. Could this be a US Cellular only phone? There could be other variants as well, but we at least know that US Cellular customers will have a chance to buy the device.

The phone is expected to sport a 5-inch Super AMOLED 720p (1280 x 720) display, a Snapdragon 400, 16 GB of internal storage, 13 MP rear camera, 5 MP front-facing camera, and a 2,330 mAh battery. Let's also not forget the full metal frame.

It doesn't offer the highest-end specs, but does it mean more to you that it sport metal?

His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
