<b>Setting a New Standard for Samsung Galaxy Design</b>
Concentrating on elegant aesthetics and compact construction, Samsung has taken a fresh approach to design with the Galaxy Alpha. Created to help consumers express their unique style without sacrificing functionality, the refined Galaxy Alpha features a sophisticated design with a metal frame, elegantly curved corners and a tactile soft back cover. In addition, it is visually balanced, with the perfect contrast of both a calming, soft matte finish and an eye-catching reflection from the metal frame. At less than 7 mm thick, the Galaxy Alpha is also one of the slimmest Galaxy devices ever, and its uniquely compact construction and light weight provides consumers with maximum in-hand grip and control.
<b>Powerful Samsung Galaxy Experience</b>
Despite its slim and light design, the Galaxy Alpha provides users with the same powerful hardware and features users expect from a flagship Galaxy mobile device. The device is equipped with a brilliant 4.7-inch HD Super AMOLED display as well as an advanced camera and real time HDR for an unrivaled viewing and photo experience. The Galaxy Alpha also includes innovative and popular features such as Ultra-Power Saving Mode, S Health, Finger Print Scanner, Private Mode and connectivity with the latest Samsung Gear Fit, Gear Live and Gear 2 wearables.
<b>Super slim</b>
Slimmed down to only 6.7 mm, the Galaxy ALPHA features all the advanced technology of Samsung Galaxy phones and offers an excellent grip. Enjoy a sleek design and impressive capabilities all in one hand.
<b>Flagship experience</b>
Powered by new big. LITTLE™ multi-processing technology, the Galaxy ALPHA offers the essential features of the Galaxy S5 – the HDR equipped camera, the fast autofocus, the fingerprint scanner, and S-health with its heart rate sensor.
<b>Power efficient</b>
Never miss important calls because of a dead battery. Ultra Power Saving mode dramatically reduces battery consumption by shutting down unnecessary functions, ensuring your phone is available when you need it.
<b>Easy web access with fingerprint log-in</b>
Do away with the hassle of memorising website IDs and passwords. Fingerprint Web Sign-in let you log in to password-protected websites with just a swipe of your finger.
<b>Protect your privacy</b>
Private mode keeps the personal information on your Galaxy ALPHA secure, hidden in a secret location that can only be accessed by the swipe of your finger.
