The Samsung Galaxy Alpha incorporates a screen Super AMOLED of 4.7 inches that achieves a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels with a pixel density set at 320 ppi. We are facing a high-resolution screen that we should ensure high image quality both when navigating the interface as when playing multimedia content.
In terms of design, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha finally incorporates a plastic housing micro- similar to that found in other mobile range Galaxy, for example, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 . Where do find the metal is in the side of the mobile, which incorporate metal edges that give it a very high end finish to the terminal. In the front of the phone we find a screen accompanied by a Start button at the bottom (a button that also serves as a digital fingerprint scanner ) and two touch keys that allow us to navigate the interface and mobile illuminate when the press. At the top of the screen we have the logo of Samsung, the front speaker, the video calling camera and various sensors.

The main camera of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha has a sensor of 12 megapixels which is accompanied by an LED flash to improve pictures taken at night or indoors. For now know the number of pixels that can get in the pictures and videos you take with this camera, but everything seems to indicate that snapshots taken with the camera of Galaxy Alpha offer high quality at the height of the mobile range High market.
Regarding the front camera , lovers of self-profile pictures (also called selfies) will have to settle for a camera of 2.1 megapixels .

The internal storage capacity of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha is set at 32 gigabytes, and as we already advanced some rumors in recent weeks, finally there is no microSD slot that would allow us to increase the storage space. In principle, any user should have enough internal memory space for daily use mobile, but is missing a slot for external memory cards that would allow transport files between phone and any other device without connecting it by walking cable.
Operating System and Applications

Given that this is a phone that incorporates a high-end specs, we expect to know the exact details of autonomy to find out if this is really enough capacity to offer a number of hours of use up to what we expect a terminal with these features.
Price, availability and reviews
The starting price of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha for the European market is set at 600 euros. I s expected to begin arriving in stores from the month of September.
