Samsung Galaxy Alpha launches in US via AT&T
The Alpha is up for grabs at AT&T via the carrier's website and retail outlets. The phone comes in three colors: black, white or gold.
Its price varies depending on how you want to buy it. Choose the usual two-year contract, and you'll shell out $200. Opt for AT&T's Next 18 installment plan, and you'll pay $25.55 per month for 24 months with an option to upgrade after 18 payments. Go for the carrier's Next 12 program instead, and the phone will cost you $30.65 per month for 20 months with an option to upgrade after 12 payments. Choose to go sans contract, and you'll pay the full retail price of $613.
Already available in the UK, the Alpha officially launches in the US today through AT&T only.
The Galaxy Alpha distinguishes itself from the rest of Samsung's Galaxy lineup mostly through a metal band around the edges. The back is still plastic.
AT&T's version of the Alpha comes with a 4.7-inch HD Super AMOLED display, a 2.5GHz quad-core processor and 32GB of onboard storage. The screen offers a 1,280x720-pixel resolution. The phone doesn't include a microSD card slot, so you're out of luck and out of space if you fill up the 32GB of storage.
A 12- megapixel camera is on the rear, while a 2.1-megapixel camera is in front.
