Samsung Galaxy S6 Release Date, Specs Rumors Pile Up; Smartphone With Two Flexible Edges Seen
Samsung Galaxy S6 has been billed as a potential iPhone 6 killer by the general public. The phone will reportedly be released in two versions – one with a standard screen much like the S5 and the other will dual edges much like the Galaxy Note Edge.
With Samsung providing no official word on the phone, the rumors surrounding the Galaxy S6 have largely been fueled by leaks originating from various websites. A major leak noted that following the success of the limited release of the Galaxy Note Edge, the Galaxy S6 would also come with two flexible edges. It was also widely expected the Samsung would announce both the dual-edged and the standard version of the phone at CES 2015, but that didn't take place. This led to a rumor that the Galaxy S6 would be delayed until September.
Since then, a concept model for the Galaxy S6 has been reported by various websites. The model spotted on Behance seems to be for the standard model of the S6 and not the alternate model with two curved edges.
But the rumors of a dual edge S6 refuse to die down. BGR reports that it will be the first phone in the world to have three screens, as the curved edges will operate as completely separate screens.
Another rumor about the S6 indicated that the phone had already arrived in India for testing and that it would allow for extensive customization by users, which will come courtesy of a theme store. As for the specs of the phone, it has long been rumored that the S6 will feature a 64-bit octa-core Exynos chip. It is also expected to have 3GB of RAM and a greatly enhanced 20-megapixel camera.
Samsung could announce the Galaxy S6 during the Mobile World Congress, which is due to take place in March, 2015, with the release date of the device taking place soon after to compete with the success of the iPhone 6.
The phone could face stiff competition as LG plans to release its own dual-edge phone, a prototype of which it showcased to select people in CES 2015.
