Samsung Galaxy Alpha (S801) price in Malaysia starts from RM860. It runs on the Snapdragon 801 chipset paired with 2GB RAM, a combination that was flagship-tier when this phone launched and still handles everyday apps without much fuss. The 4.7-inch Super AMOLED screen keeps colours punchy despite the modest 720p resolution, and the metal frame at just 115g makes it easy to carry.
The 12MP rear camera supports phase detection autofocus and can shoot up to 4K video, which is unusual for a phone this compact. Storage is fixed at 32GB with no card slot, so what you buy is what you get. Battery capacity is small at 1860mAh, so heavy users will want to keep a charger nearby.
