Samsung Galaxy S6 Dual-Edged Display Variant Seemingly Confirmed, Could Include 4GB RAM

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.

Possible LG G4 Variant User Agent Profile Leak Confirms Quad HD Resolution

Unlike the other 2015 Android flagship smartphones, we haven’t heard much about the LG G4 at all. However, recently a mysterious LG smartphone with the model number H810 was spotted in a leaked document by MyLGPhones. According to the website, the H810 will be LG’s flagship smartphone offering for this year on the AT&T network. As you can guess, the LG flagship smartphone for 2015 is obviously the much-anticipated LG G4. So the H810 could be the AT&T LG G4 variant.

The leaked User Agent Profile of the LG H810 doesn’t reveal anything much about the device except for its display resolution. The H810 sports 2560 x 1440 Quad HD resolutions, similar to the LG G3. Since the G4 will obviously not see a resolution downgrade and we still do not have 4K resolution panels available for mobile devices, the LG G4 will definitely be running Quad HD resolution.

From earlier leaks, it is believed that the LG G4 will arrive with a smaller 5.3-inch display compared to the 5.5-inch display size of the LG G3. This does seem a bit strange to us as we haven’t really seen many smartphones that come with a smaller display size than their predecessors. However, since LG is an expert when it comes to minimizing the bezels on its flagship smartphones, we can expect the LG G4 to be as compact as most 5-inch smartphones if it does end up with a 5.3-inch display size. The G4 is also said to come with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 64-bit Octa-core chipset, 4GB RAM and a 16MP Samsung ISOCELL rear camera with Optical Image Stabilization. There have also been reports of LG bundling a stylus along with the G4 to take on the Samsung Galaxy Note range of phablets. Since LG has retired its G Pro line of phablets, the idea of the G4 shipping with a stylus doesn’t sound all too crazy now.

The LG G4 is expected to be announced at the Mobile World Congress in March, where we also expect to see other 2015 Android flagship smartphones to go official.
