New Delhi: Samsung is all set to unveil its thinnest Android smartphone - Galaxy Alpha - in India at its event on Saturday, September 27. The company has sent out invites to its press conference in New Delhi.
While the invite does not mention the product, but a source with information of the launch plans confirmed that the company is indeed unveiling the Galaxy Alpha in India on Saturday. Samsung would unveil only one device at tomorrow's event, added the source.
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" HD Super AMOLED display has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and it is powered by a octa-core (quad 1.8ghz + quad 1.3GHz) or quad-core 2.5GHz processor. 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.
The phone will be available in Charcoal Black, Dazzling White, Frosted Gold, Sleek Silver, and Scuba Blue colour options.
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.
