Canadians can order the Samsung GALAXY Alpha starting today

Samsung today unveiled the latest addition to its GALAXY lineup of devices, the Samsung GALAXY Alpha. Coming to Canadians first through Bell Mobility and Virgin Mobile (now available for order at bell.ca/alpha), the GALAXY Alpha is designed to make a bold statement with its ultra-slim and lightweight design, compact form, brushed aluminum frame and stunning 4.7″ Super AMOLED display.

“The GALAXY Alpha represents a significant evolution of the GALAXY design, which makes it a very exciting device for us,” said Paul Brannen, Executive Vice President, Mobile Solutions, Samsung Canada.

“We know Canadians have always loved the GALAXY experience, so we are proud to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to meeting evolving consumer needs by also providing the refined and stylish form factor they are craving.”

“Bell is proud to be first in Canada to offer the new GALAXY Alpha, which will enable customers to take full advantage of Bell’s faster 4G LTE network,” said Wade Oosterman, President of Bell Mobility.

“With its large Super AMOLED screen and long battery life, Samsung’s newest GALAXY is the perfect device to watch mobile TV at home or on the go.”

The difference is in the design

Make a statement: Built from leading-edge lightweight materials and constructed with a genuine brushed aluminum frame, the Samsung GALAXY Alpha is designed for the style-conscious consumers with an eye for design.

Put it in your pocket: At less than 7 mm thick, the GALAXY Alpha is one of Samsung’s slimmest devices ever.

Use it with one hand: The GALAXY Alpha’s uniquely compact construction provides consumers with reliable one-hand grip and control.

The full GALAXY experience

Immerse yourself: With the 4.7″ Super AMOLED screen, colours are richer, more vivid and more accurate. Photos look like professional prints and movies boast a cinema-like quality.

Make it last longer: Ultra Power Saving Mode conserves battery life, helping consumers always stay connected by switching the display to black and white and retaining only necessary background applications such as calling and messaging¹.

Take amazing pictures: The heavy-duty 12 MP rear camera gives consumers the power to capture their favourite moments. With Phase Detection for faster auto focus, and Selective Focus for more artistic shots, Canadians can snap epic images in an instant.

Keep it private: The GALAXY Alpha comes with upgraded and personalized security technology. An intuitive finger scanner unlocks the device by reading the unique print, ensuring it only works when it’s in the owner’s hands. It also lets users log into a number of different websites and authenticate online purchases with the swipe of a finger².

Track your fitness: From steps taken to calories burned, S Health provides real-time information to better measure the effectiveness of daily activity. And because users can easily sync it with the Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo or Gear Fit, they can create a fitness regimen that’s with them wherever they go.

The GALAXY Alpha will be available in Charcoal Black, Dazzling White and Frosted Gold starting September 26 through Bell Mobility and Virgin Mobile, and in the coming months with additional carriers.
