Samsung Galaxy Alpha: Battery and Verdict

The Galaxy Alpha houses a 1,860mAh battery fitted inside. That's removable, though, it is smaller than the one inside the Galaxy S5 Mini ( 2,100mAh).

Samsung's Galaxy Alpha is no doubt one of the best looking smartphone onto market today. Its smaller size is way comfortable to carry around, which makes the overall experience on a next level.

However, the phone's display is underwhelming, plus there's no microSD card slot and missing waterproof nature hampers appeal to some extent.

Nonethless, the Galaxy Alpha is the best smartphone Samsung has ever made, and a solid competitor to the iPhone 6, which has the same screen size and similar dimensions.
