Samsung launched the Galaxy Alpha smartphone in India last week. We brought you the unboxing of the Galaxy Alpha recently, here we have the benchmarks. The Indian variant of the Galaxy Alpha is powered by an Octa-Core Exynos 5430 processor based on ARM big.LITTLE architecture and 20nm High K Metal Gate Process technology, compared to 28nm HKMG in Exynos 5422 SoC present in Galaxy S5.
According to the specifications it has four ARM cortex A15 cores clocked at 1.8 GHz each and four ARM Cortex A7 cores clocked at 1.3 GHz each, even though CPU-Z just shows the A15 chip that is clocked at 1.3GHz.
It has a ARM Mali T628 MP6 GPU. It also has True Octa-Core or Heterogeneous Multi-Processing that can run combination of up to eight cores to provide optimum performance. It has a 4.7-inch (1280 x 720 pixels) Super AMOLED display, 2GB RAM and runs on Android 4.4 (KitKat) OS. Let’s check out the performance of the smartphone in a range of synthetic benchmark tests.
