Samsung just announced the Galaxy Alpha, the company’s latest smartphone in the Galaxy Series after several rumors. It has a 4.7-inch (1280 x 720 pixels) Super AMOLED display, powered by a Octa-Core Exynos (1.8GHz Quad + 1.3GHz Quad) processor and runs on Android 4.4.4 (KitKat). It has a 12-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera.
It is first Samsung Galaxy smartphone with a unique metal frame for both luxury and style, says the company. Even though it has 6.7mm slim body with metal frame, the removable back cover has smooth finish. It has Finger Scanner for a secure, biometric screen locking feature and mobile payments and a built-in heart rate monitor.
