Bollywood is a funny place. Almost every single Salman Khan movie released recently has been trashed by the critics. At the end of the day though, these movies still manage to set the cash registers ringing.

Samsung Galaxy Alpha Summary

In a bid to appease naysayers, Samsung, the world’s largest smartphone brand, has created the Galaxy Alpha which has a compact body with metal edges and a 4.7-inch screen. We think the inclusion of metal by itself lends it a premium look that was clearly missing even in some of its flagship smartphones. The phone also performs as well as a flagship thanks to the inclusion of some high-end innards. Specs junkies might have liked a 1080p resolution screen instead of the Galaxy Alpha’s 720p one but we still thought it was a good screen. At the time of writing the review the price of the device was our only major concern.

I bought this phone from

Bhoopendra Singh (Jan 30, 2019) on Flipkart

I bought this phone from some contacts in Samsung company for a highly discounted price (I Know, I just got lucky with this thing) I think apart from Price (should have been about 32K or less), this phone is perfect.. Seriously, you need to Hold this phone to know how Elegant and beautiful it is. I certinly not regret buying this phone.. Hope this performance persists over time. Also, battery seems to hold off pretty well throughout the day (Normal Usage + less than 2 hours of music + 3G + No Gaming)
