Samsung Galaxy Alpha: Camera and Video

The Galaxy Alpha comes with a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera with always-on HDR, auto focus and an LED Flash light. That's down from the 16MP shooter found one on the Galaxy S5.

There's also a 2MP front-facing shooter. Both dual cameras are capable of recording videos in 1080p format.

The handset's main camera is as powerful as the one on the Galaxy S5. The Galaxy Alpha is capable of taking some brilliant shots. Sample shots taken with Galaxy Alpha offers realistic details. Another highlight of the Galaxy Alpha is its video camera.

Notably, like the Galaxy S5, the Galaxy Alpha is capable enough to shoot videos in 4K format. Video quality is fantastic, though, audio pick up could be an issue.\
