The Galaxy Alpha Is Coming To Canada!
Well here’s some interesting news that I’m sure some of you out there will be excited about! Samsung has announced that their first ever metal clad phone, the Galaxy Alpha, will be coming to Canada! The device will be available in Charcoal Black, Dazzling White and Frosted Gold on Bell and Virgin beginning September 26 while other carriers are expected to add the device to their respective line ups in the following months.
If you want to be one of the first to get your hands on the device and happen to be a Bell customer, you can pre-order the device right now (hit the link below). Despite the “lesser” specs, the Alpha still comes with a premium price tag. If you want to buy it outright you’ll have to put down $700 while signing a contract will bring the price down to $150.
Anyone thinking of picking one of these up?
