After months of endless leaks, rumors and speculations, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha has finally gone official. Samsung unveiled the Alpha, a premium handset with a metal frame that also happens to be the thinnest in the Galaxy lineup so far, at an event in Russia, and that’s also the first market where consumers will be able to pre-order the new gadget.
The Galaxy Alpha’s metal build and sleek profile, as well as its 4.7-inch screen size, position it as a direct rival to the upcoming Apple iPhone 6 that is also expected to ship with a 4.7” display and a metal body. Apart from the metal frame, though, the Alpha looks a lot like the Galaxy S5 in terms of design with similarly position buttons and overall styling. The Alpha has also got a removable plastic back cover with a slightly different, cross-stitch pattern that is also denser.
Here’s a quick overview of the specs of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha:
