Samsung Galaxy Alpha Launched!

Samsung has just launched their sexiest Galaxy smartphone — the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. This smartphone is already available a few weeks ago but recently, I got a chance to get a closer look and a hands-on with this beautiful and sexy device.

Samsung Galaxy Alpha borrowed its looks from the Samsung Galaxy S5 but this one looks and feels better. Another thing that I love in this device is the metal construction which is a first in the Galaxy smartphones. This smartphone is a balance of technology and style thanks to the powerful Octa-core processor inside it however, unlike the Samsung Galaxy S5, this one doesn’t have a Full HD display, expandable storage and a 16 Megapixel camera.
Samsung Galaxy Alpha Specifications
- 4.7” HD Super AMOLED display (1280×720)
- Octa-Core (Quad-Core 1.8GHz + Quad-Core 1.3GHz)
- 2GB RAM
- 32GB Internal storage
- 12 Megapixel Rear Camera w/ LED Flash
- 2 Megapixel Front Camera
- Android 4.4 Kitkat
- 1860mAh battery

This smartphone is certainly one of the sexiest and most elegant thanks to its premium materials. However, since this smartphone packs these premium materials, Samsung Galaxy Alpha comes with a price. Samsung Galaxy Alpha is now available in Charcoal Black, Dazzling White, Frosted Gold and Sleek Silver. Out of those 4 colors, I prefer the Gold one since it looks perfect on the Galaxy Alpha.

The first non-Nokia Lumia phone has been announced and it is the successor of the widely successful Nokia Lumia 530. The Microsoft Lumia 535 will come in two variants — Single Sim and Dual Sim and this time, the Lumia 535 will come in a bigger 5” display. Not only that, this smartphone will now also sport a 5-Megapixel wide angle front camera which will make sure that no is left out in your selfies.

Let’s hope that this device will arrive in the country very soon.
