Samsung Galaxy S6 Release Date Tipped for March, Round Smartwatch Also in Plans

Samsung’s next-gen flagship is without a doubt one of the most anticipated devices of the year. A new report coming from Business Insider appears to be confirming what previous reports have indicated: that the Samsung Galaxy S6 release date has been set for March and that the handset will be available in two variants.

Unfortunately, the report doesn’t bring anything new to the table, because it matches Samsung trend of releasing two market-dependent Galaxy S variants. The BI report also corroborates with other reports saying Samsung will introduce the Galaxy S6 at Mobile World Congress tech fair in February. It seems that the South Koreans have set the Samsung Galaxy S6 release date for March, when the device will be made available for purchase on select markets.

It seems though that the Galaxy S6 will be accompanied by another important Samsung device. The rumor mill speculates that the company is planning to announce a new smartwatch at MWC. It might be completely round, helping Sammy to compete against the likes of Motorola Moto 360 and LG G Watch R.

If rumors are to be believed, Samsung Galaxy S6 would arrive with beastly technical specifications. We’ve heard of a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display with Quad HD (1440 x 2560) resolution, 3 GB of RAM, and a new 20 MP rear-facing sensor. As I was mentioning above, Galaxy S6 will be available in two variants, depending on the market on which is sold: one powered by 64-bit Snapdragon 810 SoC and the other one underpinned by a new Octa-core Samsung Exynos chipset.

There were also reports of the Galaxy S6 being made of metal and a couple of spy shots leaked by Toranji.ir seem to suggest that. Unfortunately, there’s no way to verify the veracity of the photos, therefore we are advising you to take them with a pinch of salt.
