Samsung has
finally confirmed that its next flagship smartphone the Galaxy S6 and the
Galaxy Edge will debut on March 1st at its Galaxy UNPACKED event scheduled
to be held in Barcelona. The company has started sending out press
invites to the event
and the teaser image on the invite shows a distinct curve that could possibly
be referring to the curved edge display on the Galaxy Edge.
The Samsung
Galaxy S6 is no doubt the most eagerly awaited smartphone of the year so far
and the major reason behind that is the fact that the Galaxy S6 is expected to
bring some major changes like an updated design language, premium build, leaner
TouchWiz UI and a number of other improvements. The Galaxy S6 is no doubt a
very important product for Samsung and its only hope to put an end to its
downward spiral in the global smartphone market. Last year, Samsung hoped that
the Galaxy Note 4 will help it fight back and post impressive sales numbers,
but unfortunately Samsung’s plans didn’t quite work out, despite the more
premium build quality on the device with its metallic frame and high quality
leather. In fact, according to recent reports, the fourth quarter of last year
was one of the worst in history for Samsung as Apple managed to sell as many
smartphones as Samsung for the first time.
The Samsung
Galaxy S6 is definitely going to be a bigger success than the Galaxy Note 4, at
least based on all the information that is currently available. The Samsung
Galaxy S6 is rumored to feature a Quad HD Super AMOLED display of 5.0” or 5.5”.
Although the Antutu benchmark leak earlier had confirmed the 5.5” inch size,
recent dimensions leak and the listing on Indian trade portal Zauba has
contradicted the Antutu information. The recent reports point to a display size
around 5.0-inches. Powering the Galaxy S6 will be Samsung’s in-house developed
Exynos 7420 64-bit Octa-core chipset with 3 or 4GB of RAM. The exact internal
storage capacity is not known but earlier rumors have pointed to 32, 64 and
128GB options being offered.
Another major
highlight of the Samsung Galaxy S6 will be its 20MP rear camera with ISOCELL
and optical image stabilization. The Galaxy S5’s 16MP ISOCELL camera was one of
the most impressive cameras on an Android smartphone last year, so we have high
hopes from the Galaxy S6 camera.
The most
impressive aspect of the Galaxy S6 is expected to be the design though. Rumors
have so far pointed to an entirely new design and according to a recent report;
Samsung will be using a combination of metal and glass for the Galaxy S6. The
curved Edge display variant of the Galaxy S6 will no doubt be very impressive
as well, and is rumored to include a dual-sided curved edge display.
