The Samsung Galaxy S6 is getting closer as we near the beginning of 2015, and
with an approaching release date comes more rumors and more information to be
released regarding the device. There are quite a few rumors going around
already, which means it’s time to do another Samsung Galaxy S6 rumor roundup.
Rumors
crop up about Samsung’s “Project Zero” aka Galaxy S6
Samsung has supposedly given the Galaxy S6
project a nickname already, and it has been going by “Project Zero”. This will
be Samsung’s next flagship Galaxy S device, replacing the Galaxy S5. You can
expect quite a few changes to come in this smartphone compared to the
Galaxy S5, due to the fact that Samsung didn’t gain too many sales from the
latest device, and the S range is clearly in need of some shaking up.
Previously, it was difficult to find any
information that was even slighlty tenable, but as previously stated, we’re
drawing closer to release, so more reliable sources are beginning to come
forward with information. Here’s everything that you need to know about the
Samsung Galaxy S6, from the design to the internal specs.
Release
Date
Samsung has previously unveiled new additions to
the Galaxy S line at some point around the Mobile World Conference, which takes
place in early March. However, the Galaxy S5 was announced back in February and
had an April release, whereas the Galaxy S4 was unveiled in March and released
in April. Either way, you can definitely expect to see the device unveiled and
in stores ready for purchase by April 2015.
Design
SamMobile
has previously stated that the Samsung
Galaxy S6 will likely be unlike any Galaxy S device ever seen before, due
to the poor Galaxy S5 sales and
the fact that Samsung has recently replaced the head of its mobile
division, which means that changes are in store for the Galaxy S
line.
You can definitely expect the Galaxy S6 to follow
in the Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy Alpha’s footsteps, using an actual metal
mid-frame instead of a metallic plastic one, as well as a new rear that will
still be removable. It may be the leather material that’s featured on the back
of the Galaxy Note 4, but sadly, design rumors have been few and far between,
so much of the device’s design is still unknown.
Supposedly, another Galaxy S6 model is
currently being developed as well, but we’re not sure
exactly what it could be, as it will definitely not be an “Edge” model. Many
have speculated that this second development may be for a device with a curved
or flexible display, but the technology may not be there currently, so we’ll
likely have to wait a few more weeks until we know more.
Display
Many have begun to speculate that the Samsung
Galaxy S6 will feature a display with a quad-HD resolution, much like that of
the Galaxy Note 4. Plenty of devices currently feature the high resolution
display, which allows you to have crisper images and more high quality videos.
The greatest part is that there’s a clear
difference in devices with Full HD versus devices with Quad HD, so if you’re
upgrading from a Galaxy S4 or a Galaxy S5, you’ll really notice the
difference in a device such as the upcoming Galaxy S6. This combined with
the Super AMOLED display-type that the Samsung Galaxy S6 will likely use, will
create beautiful images on the display that are crisp and vibrant.
Some have also suggested that the Galaxy S6 will
have a 5.5-inch display, the same size as the one on the iPhone 6
Plus, or just 0.2 inches smaller than the Galaxy Note 4. Considering the fact
that previous Galaxy devices haven’t increased all that much past 5 inches,
this would be interesting to see if it does end up being true.
Camera
In terms of the rear camera, many have rumored
that the Galaxy S6 will feature a 20MP camera, but recently, rumors coming from
AnTuTu’s
benchmark testing have suggested that the Galaxy S6 may possibly sport a 16MP
camera, like the Galaxy S5. At this point in time, it could go either way, so
we’ll have to wait and see.
On top of a possible increase in megapixels, we
can also expect to see the Galaxy S6 come with optical image stabilization, phase
auto detection, and possibly even a 5MP camera on the front of the device.
Tech
Specs
On top of everything else, you can expect to see
an upgrade in processors, RAM, and storage sizes. Qualcomm recently unveiled
their latest processor, the Snapdragon 810, and this is the processor we’re likely to see thrown
inside the Galaxy S6 in certain regions. For other regions, we’ll likely see
the newly released 64-bit Octa-core Exynos 7 processor. Both of these models
will also probably feature 3GB of RAM.
Storage-wise, you can expect to see the Samsung
Galaxy S6 bump up its storage options, much like Apple recently did with the
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. We’ll likely see a 32GB model, a 64GB model, and a
128GB model offered, as well as a microSD slot for further expansion of
storage that will likely allow you to insert a microSD card of at least
128GB in size.
