Stylishly Small Smartphones

The Samsung Galaxy Alpha Smartphone Has an Elegant, Modern Design

The Samsung Galaxy Alpha smartphone, the latest smartphone offering from Samsung, has no problem sacrificing top-notch internal specifications for a stylish and solid build.

This smartphone has a smaller, more attractive build than the Galaxy S5, and features a metal edge band reminiscent of the iPhone 5S.

The Samsung Galaxy Alpha smartphone has a 4.7-inch screen, significantly smaller than its predecessor. The phone's 720p display offers 312 pixels an inch.

The phone is powered by an octa-core processor. Its camera offerings include a 13 MP primary camera at the back and a 2.1 MP selfie-snapper in the front. The rear camera is capable of shooting quality 4K video. Perhaps the highlight of this phone is its portability; it is only 6.7 mm thick and weighs 0.25 pounds.
