Video recaps Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge leaks with new renders

Tomorrow in Barcelona Samsung will make both the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge official. And now, a mere one day before that event, a video has surfaced which does a good job recapping all the leaked details we've heard about the two handsets.
Not only that, but it seems to add a couple of new renders too - showing parts of the front of the Galaxy S6 Edge, as well as what could be the back of either model, since they're expected to be pretty much identical from that point of view.
The video stresses the main specs we've seen rumored so far. An octa-core CPU is pretty much a given, and according to past info Samsung has dropped Qualcomm as a supplier so we might have only one variant with the Korean company's own Exynos silicon. Aiding it will be 3GB of RAM.
The smartphones should both have metal frames, and Gorilla Glass 4 on the front as well as the back, for a more premium look than past Galaxy S-series devices. With this new build comes the revelation that neither handset will offer a microSD card slot, or a user-replaceable battery.


Both phones will sport 5.1-inch QHD (2,560x1,440) Super AMOLED touchscreens, but obviously the panel in the S6 Edge will curve slightly both on the left and right edges. In fact, the siblings are going to be mostly identical, save for the screen difference and the Edge also getting 50 mAh more battery capacity.
The fingerprint sensor may not be of the swipe variety this time around, like the one in past Samsung devices. So the new scanner should mimic the one Apple uses for its iPhones and iPads in terms of ease of use. The heart rate monitor that made its debut on last year's Galaxy S5 is still in, yet it has been repositioned along with the LED flash.
Unfortunately for fans of the feature, the S6 models will not be water resistant like the Galaxy S5. This seems odd, especially as Sony has been making water resistant smartphones out of similar materials (with metal frames and glass on both the front and back) for years now.
The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge will be slimmer and narrower than the S5, and they will have wireless charging built-in - so no more aftermarket kits required for that.

Samsung Galaxy S6 earbuds made the rounds online

The downpour of leaks and rumors on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 has been intensifying with the nearing of its official launch. One detail that has remained left out though has been the flagship’s headset.
That omission has been addressed and live images of the earbuds that will likely accompany the Galaxy S6 and its Edge sibling have been spotted online. Befitting the smartphones’ prices, the headphones sport a premium look and attention to detail.
Abandoning the deep in-ear design of the units that came with previous Samsung flagships, the company has opted for a similar construction to the earbuds that shipped with Apple smartphones since the iPhone 5. A common feature of most upmarket headsets of late is the flat tangle-free cord, present here as well. There’s a remote, naturaly, which houses the mic and has a familiar three-button setup with a volume rocker and pause/pickup/hangup button.

Samsung’s “Unpacked” press event at the MWC will be held on March 1, so stay tuned to our website for live coverage of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge unveiling.

The Galaxy S6 Home key may be taller for the fingerprint sensor?


T-Mobile provided us with the clearest look of the Galaxy S6yesterday and one can just make out the hardware Home key. Samsung has to keep it, because it houses the fingerprint sensor, but this time it looks taller than usual.
That gave rise to the speculation that it will not be a swipe sensor like the Galaxy S5 and Note 4, but instead will work with a stationary finger. We've already seen such an implementation from Meizu on theMX4 Pro, which also features a taller Home key.
Some makes have chosen to move the fingerprint sensor to the back instead, there's plenty of room for a tall sensor there. On the front, the drive for thinner bezels leave less room for tall buttons.
Samsung recently bought LoopPay, an Apple Pay competitor, so we expect the Samsung Galaxy S6 to be even more focused on fingerprint-protected payments.

Samsung Norway website hints at possible Galaxy S6 features

Samsung's Norway website seems intent on spilling some of the beans regarding the upcoming Galaxy S6, slated to launch on March 1 in Barcelona.


The website asks "Is this the next Galaxy?", followed by three rumors. The first one is "One feature that we might see is forward-facing stereo speakers." The second one is "The new Galaxy is expected to be durable." And the third one is "Samsung Galaxy display is supposed to reach onto 3 sides."
What makes these features likely to be present is that they seem quite plausible and secondly, Samsung wouldn't mention them if it wasn't going to include them. The third one in particular refers to the curved edge screen, which we are pretty sure at this point will be present from all the teasers.
This makes us fairly certain that the stereo speakers and the rugged/water resistant body hinted by the website will also make it to the final product. So that's couple more reason to look forward to it, then.

Samsung Galaxy S6 will feature a new antenna design to combat metal body interference

Widely criticized for the use of less than premium materials unworthy of upmarket devices, Samsung has made the move recently to metal frames, and the upcoming Galaxy S6 will allegedly join the trend. Solving one problem typically creates others in the process, though, and antenna interference is one result of the metal used on the Galaxy S6′s body.
A report in Korean media states that Samsung is resorting to FPCB antenna technology for the future flagship, aiming to battle the negative effects of the metal frame on signal reception.
FPCB stands for Flexible Printed Circuit Board where thin strips of conductor (say, copper) are laminated in between two layers of PET polymer. They find wide application in the electronics industry when space constraints limit the use of rigid circuit boards.
The predominantly used type of antennas in recent years are manufactured using the LDS technology, or Laser Direct Structuring. It allows for a precise 3D shape to be modeled, thus fitting in whatever space the engineers find unoccupied in the device. This actually makes it superior to FPCB, the flexibility of which is limited.
Additionally, LDS units deliver better reception performance, provided they are not hindered by other design choices. However, the Galaxy S6 has proven incompatible with LDS antennas in terms of interference and an FPCB solution has been chosen as a workaround.

This is the most revealing Samsung Galaxy S6 teaser yet

The latest Samsung Galaxy S6 teaser gives us the best look at the upcoming smartphone to date. A T-Mobile US sign-up page with the punchline 'Six Appeal' gives us a close look at the right side of the handset.
The clearly visible metal body and curved display suggest that we are looking at the Edge variant of the Korean giant’s next flagship. A number of leaks have already suggested that Samsung will reveal two versions of the Galaxy S6.
Samsung Galaxy S6 will make its official debut in less than a week during MWC in Barcelona. We will be covering the event live, so be sure to tune in to find out everything about the smartphone.

Another Samsung Galaxy S6 teaser goes live, check it out

Samsung released yet another teaser for its upcoming flagship smartphone. Samsung Galaxy S6 will debut in a tad over a week, on March 1 in Barcelona.
The latest teaser clip hints that the upcoming handset will feature metal body with no borders. The latter could be a subtle reference to the much rumored Edge variant of the smartphone, or a nod to the design of its top and bottom (see the image above).


Samsung Galaxy S6 now said to sport 16MP camera


The Samsung Galaxy S6 has been leaking a lot lately, that's for sure. And while many details about it have shown up in a very high number of rumors, hence leading us to believe they're pretty much confirmed, one thing hasn't been as clear. We're talking about what resolution the phone's camera will employ.
So far we've basically heard two options: either a 20MP unit or a 16MP one. So which one is it? Well, a new rumor on the matter aims to clear the confusion.
Apparently Galaxy S6 prototypes with a 20MP camera made by Samsung have been tested, which is why we've heard so much about this choice. But, for whatever reason, the Korean company reportedly decided to go with a 16MP Sony-made IMX240 sensor after all. So this will be in the selling Galaxy S6 devices.
It is in fact the exact same sensor that's present in the Galaxy Note 4, yet Samsung has allegedly made "considerable tweaks" to the lens and camera software. Although exact details about this haven't surfaced yet, it's possible that said improvements targeted low-light photography, because the company's S6 teasers have hinted at great performance in that area.
The Galaxy S6 will be revealed on March 1 at MWC in Barcelona. It will probably feature a 5" or 5.1" QHD (2,560x1,440) Super AMOLED touchscreen, Samsung's upcoming Exynos 7420 SoC with an octa-core CPU, 3GB of RAM, along with 4G LTE and all the usual connectivity options. Its battery may only be a 2,600 mAh cell, while the software should be Android 5.0 Lollipop with Samsung's own UI overlay on top.

Latest Samsung Galaxy S6 teaser is about materials and shapes

Samsung is continuing its teaser campaign for the upcoming Galaxy S6. The third video in the series was released today. It follows the previous ones about the phone’s camera and performance.
This time around the short video is all about materials and shapes. So, given all the leaks and rumors we’ve seen lately, it kind of feels obvious that Samsung is teasing a metal build for the device. That said, keep in mind that at no point in the promo is that explicitly stated. Otherwise it would be more than a teaser, wouldn’t it?
At the end of the video we (barely) get to see what looks like the silhouette of the smartphone, seen from the side. And sure enough the frame does look like it’s made from metal, but we’ll only be 100% certain once Samsung does the grand unveil on March 1.




Until then, do expect more such teasers to pop up. After all, this is the company’s biggest announcement of the year, so it stands to reason that it would want to build up the hype. As a quick reminder, the Galaxy S6 should sport a 5″ or 5.1″ QHD (2,560×1,440) Super AMOLED touchscreen, a 16MP rear camera, Samsung’s Exynos 7420 chipset with octa-core CPU, 3GB of RAM, and a 2,600 mAh battery. It will probably run Android 5.0 Lollipop from day one.

Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge concept video looks awesome

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 has been the inspiration behind a number of renders over the past weeks. Today we're being treated to another take on the matter and this time we get both the Galaxy S6 and its Edge variety side by side.












Samsung Galaxy S6 renders

Created by designers Ivo Maric and Jermaine Smit, the concept video sums up all the available information, that's become public so far. The 6.9mm thin profile with a surrounding metal frame and glass back both add up to a hot looking body. The unsightly bump for the camera lens was unfortunately unavoidable with such thin waistline. The new flash/sensor arrangement has been the least disputed feature of the upcoming top-tier smartphone, confirmed by numerous leaks.
Blending the Samsung Galaxy S6 vision with the existing Galaxy Note Edge results in the Galaxy S6 Edge concept. The special brother to the upcoming flagship has been less keen to show up in leaks, but the artists have closely followed Samsung's design language, and are unlikely to be off by much. A possible solution for a wireless charging station has also entertained the designers' imagination.


Anyhow, with MWC less than 10 days ahead the wait is almost over. We'll finally get to see the highly anticipated flagship duo at Samsung's Unpacked event on March 1.

Itskins cases for Samsung Galaxy S6 will ship on March 15

Waiting for things to be announced is too outdated, so these days case manufacturers take pre-orders for cases that fit on phones yet to be revealed. Itskins is already advertising its Samsung Galaxy S6 designs and if you pre-order one yours will ship on March 15.
This, of course, suggests that the Galaxy S6 itself will launch around that time, otherwise you'll be holding an empty case for a few months until the new flagship arrives.
We've seen the design of Samsung's upcoming top dog a number of times, but if you're curious for another look – plus a survey of what Itskins has to offer, here's the full lineup.












Itskins cases for the Samsung Galaxy S6
The Samsung Galaxy S6 and its S6 Edge sibling will debut on March 1. It looks like Samsung will implement and Apple-style strategy of launching the phone while the buzz is strong.

New Samsung Galaxy S6 teaser promises performance

The second video in the #TheNextGalaxy series is out and it's as vague as ever, but it seems to promise fast performance ("The faster I am, the more that gets done") and long battery life ("And the more time I can give to others").
The previous Samsung Galaxy S6 teaser video focused on the camera and changed the profile pic of the Samsung Mobile account to the outline of a camera module.


This new video brings a different sigil – a lightning bolt. You could argue this is "lightning fast" and connect it to the chipset performance – Samsung's own Exynos 7420 according to rumors. Another way to read this is wireless charging, we've heard talk that the Galaxy S6 will have only a 2,600mAh battery and use wireless charging to offset the small-ish capacity.
The new flagship will be officially unveiled at the beginning of March at the MWC in Barcelona, but that's not for two more weeks. We should see several other teaser videos until then.

HTC One (M9) renders size it up against the Galaxy S6, iPhone 6

HTC One (M9) is yet to be officially presented to the world, so all we have to look at are hurried photos and leaked images promoting phone cases. Luckily, Martin Hajek is a wiz at making 3D models and he used all info available on the One (M9) to create a virtual phone and put it up against the Apple iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S6.
The Galaxy S6 is also waiting for its official introduction, of course, but a few days ago Hajek modelled that one too.
Anyway, here’s a look at the HTC One (M9) by itself, it’s shaping up to be a beaut. Next up, three flagships stand side by side – the iPhone 6 is the shortest with its sub-5″ screen, while the Galaxy S6 is in between. Both the One (M9) and Galaxy S6 are expected to have 5″ screens. After that is a look at their backs and all the metal that the phones are encased in.











Here are a few simulated lifestyle images showing the One (M9) and its all-metal rival, the iPhone 6.


 




The renders match the spy shots we’ve seen so far, including the lack of a Duo Camera on the back. The centrally-placed selfie camera (4MP UltraPixel allegedly) come from “official” (not really) promo imagesfor the One (M9).

Most hotly anticipated phone at MWC

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is a cornerstone for the company, set to finally bring the feel of the company’s flagships up to top standards. Widely criticized for its choice of materials so far, the Korean giant is rebuilding the upcoming smartphone from the ground up, addressing the issue.
The hype, which has been building around the Galaxy S6, showed its results and it emerged victorious in our survey. Samsung’s high-end device is expected to finally bring something new to the table, while competitors will stick to evolutionary changes for this generation.
                    Samsuing Galaxy S6         (31.1%)


                           Htc One M9             (26.9%)



                Samsung Galaxy S6  Edge     (15.3%)



                   Sony xperia Z4                 (27.6%)





The battle for second place was fierce, but in the end the Sony Xperia Z4 inched ahead of the HTC One (M9), with less than a hundred votes splitting the two. Still, users anticipating the next-gen Xperia high-ender may end up disappointed, as its launch appears increasingly less likely to take place at MWC.
Galaxy S6 Edge, the odd little brother to the Samsung flagship came in fourth, proving that special doesn’t necessarily mean more interesting. A respectable 14% of the votes went in its favor nonetheless.

New Samsung Galaxy S6 renders surface, looks crazy hot

The amount of Samsung Galaxy S6 details that has made its way to the public ahead of launch has reached critical mass for designers to be able to create a pretty accurate vision of what the upcoming flagship will look like. The leaked schematics left little to the imagination and it actually took too long for people to dress them in proper attire.
It’s not the first time we’ve seen the work of Martin Hajek applied in the field of mobile devices and now we are treated to his take on the Galaxy S6.
The new camera/sensor arrangement on the back has been the most undisputed feature of the new Samsung flagship, confirmed by every leaked case out there. Whether the glass back will actually make it to production remains to be seen, but if it ends up looking anything like these images, arguments against it will be few.




            


 The outer frame may be a bit too reminiscent of the current iPhone for hardcore Samsung fans. I does feature the characteristic bulges at the corners and finely trimmed sides, introduced with the Galaxy Alpha and carried to its disciples. It’s just that the rounded edges of the frame towards the front and back are simply not the Samsung of late we all know. But it may be just what the Galaxy S6 needs to distance itself from the past and mark the new path the Korean company is taking with its flagship.
The brief video below combines these renders with the known specs, “confirmed” so far.

Samsung's TheNextGalaxy video teases the Galaxy S6 camera

The new Samsung Galaxy flagship dropped a teasing hint on Twitter - a short video that talks about "great vision" and a "unique view" and finishes with the silhouette of a camera module. The video itself is pretty abstract, the camera moves through a dark tunnel and there's light at the end of it.
We could debate the symbolism of that – the Galaxy S6 camera will allegedly have a 20MP sensor with optical image stabilization that should do well in low light conditions. There was even talk of RAW shooting with complete manual controls.



Anyway, it's not just the video – Samsung Mobile's Twitter account has been redubbed TheNextGalaxy and the profile pic has been changed to the camera module silhouette, right in front of the teasing curveof what's most likely the Galaxy S Edge.
The culmination of this campaign will come on March 1 in Barcelona during Samsung's Unpacked event

TouchWiz on the Galaxy S6 to be stripped of Samsung apps

While the exterior and hardware aspects of the Samsung Galaxy S6 have been exposed in a plethora of leaks throughout the last couple of months, the software side of the phone has remained pretty much a mystery. TouchWiz is bound to go through some drastic changes, though, if SamMobile's insider source is to be believed.
TouchWiz on the latest Galaxy Note 4
According to the unconfirmed information, Samsung will trim some pre-installed Samsung apps such as S Voice, S Health, S Note and Scrapbook. Those apps will be available for download through the company's Galaxy Apps store. Interestingly, it's reported that Samsung will pre-install a bunch of Microsoft apps in their place as a result of the deal between the two companies regarding their patent royalty case.
If true, the Galaxy S6 will come with Microsoft OneNote, OneDrive, Office Mobile bundled with a free Office 365 subscription as well as Skype. Trimming the TouchWiz features is also allegedly making the Galaxy S6 Lollipop experience a lot more fluid and quicker than the similarly updated Galaxy Note 4, according to the source.
Historically, the Galaxy S-family is the best selling series of smartphones Android has ever seen. The presence of Microsoft apps will certainly give the company a boost in the use of its cloud services.
Finally, the latest version of TouchWiz will offer a number of visual enhancements, too. There are more theme options, more colorful Samsung apps, app drawer grid options, and the default Samsung keyboard is changed to allegedly look more like the one in iOS.
We'll find if these claims are true at the upcoming Samsung Unpacked event on March 1.

New rumors state Galaxy S6 will offer wireless charging

The rumors about Samsung's next highly-anticipated flagship phone just keep pouring in. Controversy is at an all-time high and it seems that leaks are starting to contradict themselves more and more. One of the more widely spread opinions on the tech scene is that the Galaxy S6 will keep with current design trends and spout a full-metal unibody.
However this might turn out to be not entirely true as two separate industry sources are now reporting that the Galaxy S6 will come with built-in wireless charging capability. The couple of reports come from DDaily and News 1 Korea and both hint at magnetic induction wireless charging in the smartphone. This is all fine, but magnetic induction can simply not function with an all-metal body. The material is a formidable barrier for electro-magnetic waves, making the whole process all but impossible due to losses and even quite dangerous.


If the Galaxy S6 does indeed come with wireless charging that must mean that its back will not be 100% metal. One option would be for it to have carefully placed plastic inserts, but that seems kind of unlikely. The other variant, which one of the aforementioned sources goes into detail about is that the back will be made of glass, or plastic with a glass effect, which would allow for the charging technology to work properly.
According to other rumors the Galaxy S6 will not offer a removable battery so wireless charging might be there to offer at least some kind of compensation to Samsung fans. But considering a metal unibody along with electro-magnetic charging is only feasible in the way it is achieved with the all-metal HTC One (M8) - with an external charging adapter.
This is definitely a new curve ball in the Galaxy S6 story, leaving even more room for speculation and doubt. And we are bound to get a few more of those before the official launch event on March 1.

Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge details 'confirmed' again

For a few weeks we've been seeing an incredibly high number of leaks and rumors talking about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6. So far it's pretty likely that we'll get an S6 Edge version too, and this has been rumored to have a three-sided screen, not two-sided like the Galaxy Note Edge (which is pictured below).
Today a new report comes to confirm this detail, along with other things that have been leaked recently. For example, both the S6 and the S6 Edge are said to sport "all-metal bodies". So the much rumored glass backs may be out.

The phones will come with 5.1-inch displays, keeping the size of their predecessor. They will be powered by "Samsung's most advanced processor chips", or so say "people with direct knowledge of the matter". This isn't surprising, given how many times we've heard that Samsung won't use Qualcomm chips for the S6, instead opting for its own Exynos 7 octa solution.
According to some analysts, the Galaxy Note Edge was received by the market better than they've anticipated, which means the S6 Edge might be a rather successful endeavor too. And its screen, which covers the front but also the left and right sides of the device, will surely make it stand out in public. Samsung plans to eventually produce a fully foldable smartphone, but until that's possible these curved displays will have to do.
Both the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge will be unveiled by Samsung on March 1 at a special event in Barcelona.

New Galaxy S6 render based on precise schematics surfaces

A lot is already known about Samsung's next flagship device and its edged variant. Rumors have been all over the place, but no actual photos of a S6 units are available as of yet.
We even have a pretty good idea on the handset's shape and dimensions. This is mostly based on leaked images of various cases for the future smartphone, but fairly recently we also saw some alleged schematics of the Galaxy S6 that seemed pretty accurate and credible enough.

Based on those very sketches somebody has taken up the task to fire up some CAD software and produce a few gorgeous and very detailed renders of the device. At this point these images are as close as we can get to actually seeing Samsung's next flagship and judging from what we already know the renders should be close to, if not absolutely accurate.



The Samsung Galaxy S6 should be equally impressive in terms of hardware. Rumors point toward an Exynos 7420 octa-core power house of a CPU along with an equally impressive Mali-T760 GPU and 3GB of RAM. The Galaxy S6 should spout a 5.1-inch QHD display and a rather impressive camera setup - 20MP OIS main shooter and 5MP front-facing.



But again most of the above is still based purely on rumors so until Samsung's MWC event on March 1 nothing is really certain about the device and its edged sibling.
