Why trust Greenbot
Samsung’s latest smartphone — the Galaxy Alpha — is the company’s first phone using its new design language. While the phone is still built with plastic, it has a metal frame running around its edges, which when combined with its sleek frame and compact body, make it quite a looker.
Don’t be fooled by its size though, as the Galaxy Alpha packs in top-notch specs, which can stand its own against the likes of the Galaxy S5, LG G3 and the HTC One M8. Scroll below to find out the full specs of the device.
