On the back, there’s a 12 MP (CMOS) (AF) camera (with an LED flash) that can shoot Ultra HD videos while the front has a 2.1 MP (CMOS) camera.
The Galaxy Alpha is equipped with a 1,860 battery unit, and is compatible with the Gear line of wearables. Other features include Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi, NFC, 4G LTE connectivity, GPS, and FM Radio.
It will go on sale from next week in charcoal black, dazzling white and frosted gold for Rs 39,990.
