The Exynos 5 Octa 5430 chipset pairs Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7 cores, backed by a Mali-T628 MP6 GPU and 2 GB RAM. That combination runs Android KitKat smoothly enough for everyday tasks, and the 4.7-inch Super AMOLED screen at 720 x 1280 pixels gives punchy colours in a compact 132.4 x 65.5 x 6.7 mm frame weighing just 115 g.
Samsung Galaxy Alpha price in Malaysia starts from RM1378. The 12 MP rear camera shoots 4K video at 30fps and adds autofocus with LED flash, while a 2.1 MP front camera handles selfies. Storage is fixed at 32 GB with no card slot, so there's no room to expand later.
A 1860 mAh battery keeps things modest on paper, but the phone includes NFC, a fingerprint sensor, and LTE-A support, features that were still fairly rare at this price point when it launched.
