In addition, it has other connectivity options including Micro-USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPRS/EDGE, 3G, and NFC. It is powered by an octa-core chipset with quad-core 1.8GHz and quad-core 1.3GHz. The Samsung Galaxy Alpha also comes in a quad-core variant with a clock speed of 2.5GHz. There is 2GB of RAM and 32GB inbuilt non-expandable storage.

The Galaxy Alpha comes with a 12-megapixel rear camera and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera. Like Samsung's flagship Galaxy S5, it also comes with a fingerprint scanner. It packs an 1860mAh battery. The Galaxy Alpha, said Samsung, "will be available in Charcoal Black, Dazzling White, Frosted Gold, Sleek Silver, and Scuba Blue colour variants."
