The Samsung
Galaxy S6 is no doubt going to be one of the biggest smartphone launches of the
year. While we know a lot about the Galaxy S6 by now, confusion still remains
regarding the Galaxy S6 Edge variant. Some rumors have claimed that the S6 Edge
will be launched alongside the Galaxy S6, while others claim the product has
been scrapped by Samsung. Now a new report has surfaced courtesy of SamMobile that claims Samsung will indeed launch a Galaxy S6 variant with a
curved edge display. What’s interesting is that the Galaxy S6 Edge is said to
feature a dual-edged display, instead of the curved edge on just the right side
like on the Galaxy Note Edge.
According to
SamMobile, the Galaxy S6 double-edged display variant will carry the model
number SM-G925. While the model number has been confirmed, it is still unknown
if the device will be called the Galaxy S6 Edge like the Note Edge or something
else entirely different. The Galaxy S6 Edge is said to feature all the panels
that we have seen on the Galaxy Note Edge. These include Finance, News,
Pedometer, Sports, Contacts and other panels. These panels will be available
for download on the Samsung App Store for the owners of the dual-edge display
variant of the Galaxy S6, just like the Galaxy Note Edge. While for the most
part the software on the Galaxy S6 Edge is said to be similar to the Galaxy
Note Edge, a few notable differences will be seen too. As the Galaxy S6 Edge
will have the edge panel on both the right and left curve of the display, you
will be able to choose which panel you want to activate, depending on whether
you are right-handed or left-handed. The Galaxy S6 Edge is also said to include
the Glance Lighting feature that uses the Edge panels as notification lights by
lighting up whenever you have any new notifications or an incoming calls and
your device is turned over. This feature will include customization options as
well, allowing you to choose the color of the light for specific contacts as
per your choice.
Yet another report out of Korea also seems to confirm the existence of the Galaxy S6
Edge and claims that the Galaxy S6 may come with 4GB of RAM. The report claims
that Samsung may include 4GB of RAM on the curved edge display variant while
the main Galaxy S6 variant may include 3GB of RAM. However, since the SM-G925
specifications were leaked on Antutu a few weeks back and we know that it will
come with 3GB of RAM, it doesn’t look like the S6 Edge will be the one with 4GB
of RAM. Instead, we could see the main Galaxy S6 variant with higher 4GB RAM.
Or it could be that the SM-G925 that was leaked on Antutu was an early
prototype and both the main variant and the Edge variant of the Samsung Galaxy
S6 could launch with 4GB RAM on-board. We will need to wait a few more weeks
until Mobile World Congress to find out everything about the Galaxy S6 and its
dual-edged display variant.
