New Delhi: Samsung has launched its thinnest Android smartphone - the Galaxy Alpha - in India at a price of Rs 39,990. The phone will be available in India from the first week of October. The phone will come in Charcoal Black, Dazzling White and Frosted Gold colours.
With the Galaxy Apha, Samsung has also embraced the metal frame - quite like its biggest competitor, Apple. The 4.7-inch Galaxy Alpha comes enclosed within a metal frame and its 6.7mm profile makes it the South Korean electronics giant's thinnest Android phone (Samsung's Galaxy S5 measures 8.1mm in thickness).

The Samsung Galaxy Alpha's 4.7-inch HD Super AMOLED display has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and it is powered by an octa-core (quad 1.8GHz + quad 1.3GHz). Running on Android 4.4.4 (KitKat), the Galaxy Alpha has a 12 megapixel rear camera along with a 2.1 megapixel front camera.
The phone also includes a fingerprint scanner, and its removable back cover has a tactile pattern. With 2GB RAM and 32GB of internal memory, the Galaxy Alpha doesn't have a microSD slot and another disappointment could be the 1,860 mAh battery.
Apple has made design central to its iPhones since its first model in 2007. Samsung seems to embracing the importance of design with the Alpha.
