Samsung has reportedly promised their avid fans that they will be having a major design revamp for its upcoming Galaxy S6 smartphone. The International Business Times reports that the tech mogul wants to make it look unlike the other devices in its Galaxy S line.
"The Galaxy S6 will make its debut in two versions -- flat and rounded screens," an executive at a part supplier told The Korea Times. "It will have a metal build, which will make it look even more like Apple's latest models."
Nowhere Else, a French tech blog site, leaked some images which they claimed belonged to a Galaxy S6 handset. Its metal chassis looks very similar with that of the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, which Apple had already released last September. If the photos in the leak are, indeed, legitimate, then it looks like the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 will look a lot like the latest iPhone.
Tech Radar says that the case design also has a micro USB port, speakers, microphone, and headphones, along its bottom edge. The photos that show the back of the case indicate that the camera will have a LED flash, as well as a sensor for monitoring the user's heart rate and a finger print scanner.
Additionally, GSM Arena has reported that it will also have a protruding camera module, which they say is not ideal since it will make the device wobble once placed on a flat surface.
PC Advisor says that the much awaited S6 will be released alongside other smartphone variants, such as the Galaxy S6 Mini, Galaxy Edge, and the Galaxy S6 Active. Moreover, CNET provided a leaked image of the different body styles of the new line.
Web Trek says (as translated by Google Translator) that the Galaxy S6 will not be waterproof, unlike the unit that preceded it, the Galaxy S5. According to the report, the Korean mobile manufacturer opted to take away the feature because of the Galaxy S6 Active.
However, PC Advisor thinks this statement is false. The Galaxy S5 was still waterproof, despite the Galaxy S5 Active. It just never officially made its way to the United Kingdom.
Tech Radar reports that Samsung had already distributed invites to their launch at the upcoming MWC 2015, or Mobile World Congress, which will happen on March 1. It is highly speculated that the Galaxy S6 will finally be officially launched then.
