Notably, Samsung during the global launch of the handset, had called the Galaxy Alpha "the evolution of Galaxy Design", touting "metal frame, elegantly curved corners, and a tactile soft back cover".

Samsung's new Galaxy Alpha will be available exclusively through AT&T starting September 26. The phone will cost $199.99 on a two-year contact with AT&T, or $25.55 per month through AT&T's Next 18 plan or $30.65 per month if you choose the carriers Next 12 payment option.

The Galaxy Alpha sets itself apart from Samsung's other releases with its metallic chamfered edges which makes the phone's rim look slightly similar to that of the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s.

The Galaxy Alpha is slightly smaller than Samsung's flagship Galaxy S5, since it comes with a 4.7-inch 720p screen. The Alpha also comes with a 12-megapixel main camera and a 2.1-megapixel front camera.
