Metal-clad Samsung SM-A500 to feature new TouchWiz interface
Reports of a more affordable variant of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha first surfaced last week. Back then we heard that Samsung was in development of an SM-A500 device for the midrange market.

The latest news surrounding the device involves a 13MP camera instead of the initially reported 8MP shooter, alongside the updated TouchWiz interface that Samsung introduced at IFA with its new Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
Otherwise, the SM-A500 is expected to include a 5-inch 720 Super AMOLED screen, quad-core Snapdragon 400 CPU, and 16GB of expandable storage. Notably, the 2,330mAh battery is expected to be of the non-removable kind - unlike on the Galaxy Alpha - while a 5MP front-facer is also expected.
We"ll have the latest on the upcoming SM-A500 as it emerges.
