Electronics maker Samsung unveiled its latest addition Wednesday to its smartphone line, the Galaxy Alpha.
The less than 7 mm, super thin smartphone has a metal frame, the company said.
It features a 4.7—inch high—definition display, which is a little smaller than Samsung’s flagship Galaxy 5 which has a 5.1—inch screen.
Samsung chief executive JK Shin praised the new design of the device: “The Galaxy Alpha focuses on both beauty and functionality.” The device is equipped with a 12—megapixel main camera and a 2.1—megapixel front camera, according to the statement.
The announcement comes only weeks before Apple is expected to announce its iPhone 6, which is thought to offer a 4.7—inch display.
The Galaxy Alpha will be available at the beginning of September, Samsung said.
