Samsung Galaxy S6 Photos, Cases Leaked Ahead of MWC Launch?

Earlier reports of leaked images of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 suggest that the Korean smartphone-maker's flagship device might come in five designs. According to The Drum, this could be the company's attempt to appeal to its broadest range of users yet, who may finally get their official glimpse on the unit at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

The images which were obtained by CNET include one that shows what looks like three variants of a Galaxy S6 unit, as well as two other curvier designs of the alleged Galaxy S6 Edge. Plus, The Drum also mentions that the much-awaited unit might come in four colors, namely, green, white, blue, and gold.

If the leaked photos are, indeed, true, then it looks like Samsung opted to eschew from their usual silvery plastic casing approach. The new images indicate that they spiced things up a bit and went in favor of an aluminum build. This will be the first Samsung contraption to sport a full metal black look, which, in turn, is actually more befitting for a range that might sport a sleeker design.

BGR has also reported that Verus, a Korean case maker which claims to have close ties with Samsung, has now released a new set of images for the Samsung Galaxy S6. This time, however, the photos did not only feature the case design, but also how the alleged phones could look like.

The units were contained in a clear casing, which gives potential users their first look at the upcoming smartphone. Additionally, GSM Arena has also posted new images of the Galaxy S6. This latest batch of leaked images show the units covered in rugged casings. Just as mentioned in previous reports, these new images also show that there is a new heart rate sensor and a camera flash.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is expected to be launched during a press conference on March 1. Plus, according to a separate report form BGR, it might feature an all-glass and aluminum housing with a quad HD display, internal memory of up to 128 GB, a 20-megapixel rear camera, a 64-bit octa-core processor and the Android Lollipop OS.

Additionally, it is also believed to feature a new mobile payment system, Samsung Pay, which is pretty much the same with Apple Pay.

The Drum says that this new design approach could mean that the Korean tech mogul will now be concentrating on pushing the premium end of their mobile market through the all-new Galaxy S6.
