It's obvious that all these renders floating around are wrong. The following was floating right under our noses - check the profile of the phone below.

[Galaxy S6 General] dandroid13:
They are saying that this is the S Edge, but I can't see it, unless the curved screen is the top and botton. :confused::eek:
[Galaxy S6 General] Emieltes:
That's only a rumour
[Galaxy S6 General] marleyb:
Honestly I don't think we will see much difference in the camera sensor and its hardware technical capabilities compared to the Note4, I do think that have rewritten the camera driver / software to support Lollipop CameraV2 API . Something that they left (intentionally) out of the Lollipop S5 and Note4 release. If they would have included it in the LP release, they would loose a important marketing / selling bridgehead.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
There are many missing things on Note 4 camera software, so the S6 is an upgrade ver with full function enabled. Rumor said lens maybe improved, I guess there is a chance to have an aperture f/2.0 or wider angle lens. I also believe that the core sensor maybe just same but possible to add a 2nd gen of phase detection focus on it to against Iphone6.

At this moment, we pretty sure S6 will stick with Sony 16MP 1/2.6" IMX240 but it is safe guess the S6 Edge will use ISOCell 20MP 1/2.3" instead, according to the leaked info on a S6 Edge prototype. I think Samsung meet a mass production problem on 20MP ISOCell. If you want to try out somethings new, maybe you can wait the S6 Edge til the April end.

I will only consider normal S6 because no money to buy the freaky expensive Edge and traditionally, Sony sensor works better at low night while ISOCell performs superior in day light condition, low light quality is more important to me.
[Galaxy S6 General] xda rocks:
I think there is more possibility of having something like a Duos version where 1 slot will be primarily for a SIM and 2nd slot can be used as a SD Card slot (supports up to 128GB) or as a 2nd SIM slot instead of SD Card. As this is the trend right now Samsung is continuing in their recent upcoming models. Having such an option will also be really useful (at least for me).:p

I was just going to post this ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] justamelvin:
that's gotta be the galaxy edge, right? not the regular s6?
[Galaxy S6 General] dandroid13:
Sure, that makes sense, but the problem is that they never release the Duos version at the same time as the regular version, just like the Active and K versions. [emoji20]

if the screen is a 5.1" then this version of the phone is smaller than 143.3mm.
[Galaxy S6 General] David111jr:
i seen this photo from tmobile but i have a feeling this is not the real render. i feel like tmobile took the render that was made earlier in the week and tweeked and added there magenta color so they can be the first company to promote the new device.

wouldnt be the first time a company released a render that wasnt real.

EDIT... JUST SEEN THIS ON AT&T...

i feel you, i have a s5 and want to upgrade to something but the nexus wouldnt be so much of a upgrade but it would feed my true androidian soul to flash anything and have a aboundance of roms and development. and have the nexus updates.

But then again do i want a phone thats gonna be cutting edge(pun intended lol), but am i willing to wait months upon months for root, will i ever get the bootloader unlcked?, will factory upgrades ever roll out?

New 'rumour'...
[Galaxy S6 General] justamelvin:
i have to think these rumors are true unless samsung is so stupid as to create fake rumors about its own device and then fail to deliver on them.
[Galaxy S6 General] dandroid13:
They're playing with the rumors, theses images are clearly a joke (or maybe not). [emoji14]

Enviado do meu Galaxy S5
[Galaxy S6 General] justamelvin:
yeah, the images are just silly representations of the rumors, but why bring up certain rumors and then not have them in the actual device? just a dumb idea if these things turn out to be false because it just brings more attention to the fact it's lacking the rumored features.
[Galaxy S6 General] CLARiiON:
This is getting weird now..

If we can delete bloatware without rooting, then I'm such a happy camper. But of course, I'd still prefer to have an SD card:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S6 General] dave_id87:
it's like they realized the "rumors" they were posting people actually want and will be disappointed when it is revealed it does not have things like front facing speakers. So they just started posting dumb stuff lol
[Galaxy S6 General] vegetaleb:
I hope the S6 will finally have a new design and materials, superior sound quality a la HTC and at last a super fast logic Touchwiz.

What are the rumored specs so far? The camera will be 16 or 21mp? The screen will be borderless?

I just watched the leaked HTC M9 videos and I wouldn't get it as I am tired of buying the same phone (M7,M8) and apart the camera it has nothing new.

Another 'rumour'

:confused:

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

That's definitely only for Edge version on higher capacity like 64/128GB, not for regular models.

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

No 'real' leaks so far. Exynos 7420, QHD AMOLED, about 5.1/5.2 inch. These are certain.

Camera maybe IMX240 module, 16MP used in Note 4 but with Camera 2 API and other modifications. Should be unibody, can't say much about removable battery. But SD card should be there. New antennae design also rumoured for metal casing. Mostly speculation and unverified leaks so far, will know more in 4 days time. And few MS apps bundled like Onedrive and Skype and less galaxy bloats.

i'm still trying to figure out if it will be water resistant. my guess is no.. would be a huge step backwards especially if you own a S5... samsung seems to try to improve and then go backwards on each model. me thinks they will try to milk the cow and offer an S6 "sport" version later on. kind of turns me off from buying their phones on day one because you might be better off waiting a couple months for the better version..

also, i wonder if they have done any improvements to their cheap a$$ tin-can sounding speaker in ALL their phones... must be rocket science to add dual front facing speakers.. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 General] kerelberel:
I hope a rooted S6 will have a camera which doesn't ****ing crash all the time.
[Galaxy S6 General] dandroid13:
What? :confused:
[Galaxy S6 General] kerelberel:
I mean a custom ROM. On my S3 in CM11 the camera frequently crashes. In CM12 it happens 8 out 10 times I'd say. I've been reading complaints of people with an S4 and S5 as well..
[Galaxy S6 General] dandroid13:
lol, CM, AOSP camera is crappy anyway. :p
[Galaxy S6 General] kerelberel:
The basic camera software crashes. You can't just go around and install other camera apps. Once one app crashes, the other camera apps stop working as well. It's a deep rooted issue. . Besides, on my S3 the difference between Samsung's Camera and AOSP is minimal. I can still make kickass photos.
[Galaxy S6 General] dandroid13:
The last time I used AOSP was with my old Galaxy Nexus, never more, terrible experience.
[Galaxy S6 General] SpinSRH85:
I really hope the s6 has the SD card slot and removable battery that's the two main things that made me go with the s3 and s4 and s5 I love Samsung and the second series but if they don't have the SD card slot because they want to make more money by selling the 32, 64 and 128gb versions of the s6. I don't know maybe I'm complaining to much but I think them two things might be a deal breaker for a lot of people.
[Galaxy S6 General] galaxyuser15:
I hope the camera on S6 runs on newer Lollipop's Camera2 API.
[Galaxy S6 General] JoeFCaputo113:
I deff think it will use the new camera API and hopefully come with Lollipop 5.0.2 as well!
[Galaxy S6 General] Super Chimp:
I'm of the view that Google is driving Android in the direction of being optimised for internal storage and cloud usage hence why Nexus devices don't have memory card slots. So if you wanted to be charitable Samsung are following this lead. I've never found Android all that good with memory cards and apps are better kept internally.

Can someone tell me how this exynos will compare to the 810?
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
I also think that later on, they will have a S6 Active which supports SD card and removable battery but comes with a much thicker size and you probably need wait another half year for that model.
[Galaxy S6 General] Applesexual:
Superior in every way, pretty much...
[Galaxy S6 General] cor4twenty:
Just saw it. Looks like an iPhone. Feels like an iPhone. No removable battery. No external SD. Very slim. Nice build to it.

[Galaxy S6 General] tailgunner9:
I Agree NO SD Card Killed it for Me and No removable battery. Like an I Phone NOW!!! Samsung has Messed up Big Time. Guess maybe HTC One M9 Now.

[Galaxy S6 General] madindehead:
Sure, the phone looks lovely. I maybe spend 10 minutes admiring how amazing my phone looks. And then I focus on the features. Features > design for the rest of the devices life. No S6 for me. And sadly, the S7 will probably also do away with useful features unless people really hate the lack of them. Which the majority of the public don't.
[Galaxy S6 General] systemf:
Nexus user here. Removable battery or sd card never mattered to me. But dual standard wireless charging. Hell yes!

The mag stripe credit card emulation for Samsung pay should be interesting and to me the craziest of the new features. Will need to see this in practice.
[Galaxy S6 General] marleyb:
Honestly I love what I've seen till now, despite the battery and SD slot. But as I hardly keep my devices for longer as 12 months the battery will not really be an issue
[Galaxy S6 General] thyttel:
Sure but you are the minority so no one will care
[Galaxy S6 General] Super Chimp:
Same here. Nexus users adapted to such changes ages ago.
[Galaxy S6 General] Lockeskidney:
yet to hear anything about video capabilities except it can do 4K

any word on 120FPS or 240FPS??
[Galaxy S6 General] pvc_:
Dissappointment

I have the S5 and love it. Can't say the same about this thing. When Apple decided to go for larger screens and NFC, it basically gave Samsung the go ahead for making a device that has a glass back, irremovable battery, and no SD card. Why are we paying more for less?

The CPU, RAM, Camera, and Screen are great in this new phone, but are they enough to justify the lack of features from the previous generation? Are they really that much more superior to what was offered in S5?? Why is it not water and dust resistant? They say the battery charges faster, well, it's a smaller goddamn battery. It should take less time to charge!

If I wanted a pretty device that lacked the essential features that I've mentioned, I would have bought an iphone or an HTC whatever device. Having more features than everyone else is Samsung's selling point. If you are making the same thing as everyone else on the block, then guess what. You are going to lose the business of people who prefer functionality and practicality over looks and glamor!
[Galaxy S6 General] fix-this!:
no price point either yet, not a good sign. the rumor was $800+ and over a grand for the 128gb version.
[Galaxy S6 General] dandroid13:
Blame the whiners and press for saying that TW is bloated, haevy, laggy, needs to be trimmed. Now it happened.
[Galaxy S6 General] pvc_:
I do blame them. They kept talking about the cheap plastic in the back. Well, guess what, you'll be wrapping that shiny glass in a double layer Otterbox just to save it from scratches. I bet you won't feel the premium quality, then!!

Many years ago I bought a 16 GB SD card that I used in my S1, S3, and now S5. Each of those phones had 16 GB of internal storage. Next time around we won't be able to do that sort of thing. We'll have to spend more on storage because we can't use our existing storage. That's how Apple became the cash cow that it is now!

Btw, what happened to the USB 3.0?
[Galaxy S6 General] VICosPhi:
Metal is not always good, it may give someone the impression of "premium" build but it is just going to interfere with wireless reception/signal, add weight and break easily upon drop. Losing water resistant design, micro-sd card and lower battery capacity(for 1 or 2mm slimmer appearing frame with giant camera hump) are really a step backwards. This is just like any other phone now, fast processor, fingerprint reader, nice RAM, unibody design. Apart from the camera and edge screen, this is just "run of the mill" phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] Super Chimp:
Since when has a removable battery been a feature. If you're not happy about these changes then go & buy something else. No one is forcing you to buy an S6. As for these so called features how many were ones that were both useful & people used for more than five seconds going to bet not many. To me TW was just jam packed with useless tat & anything that reduces that is too be welcome.
[Galaxy S6 General] speedyjay:
Well....your "sources" were wrong in pretty much every field.
[Galaxy S6 General] marleyb:
Awwwww GSMarena, that's where that article came from, that said the Note4 camera preformed better then a Canon DSLR right Hahaha [emoji23]
[Galaxy S6 General] pvc_:
By the same token, if you didn't like the touchwiz, you could have stayed with iphone or htc or nexus. No one forced you to use TW. Having a removal battery matters to people that need it. With that "fast charging feature" in the new phone (untested), I wonder how long we have to wait before the battery starts to go bad or flat out explodes.
[Galaxy S6 General] lilmikey201:
ccan somebody name the differences between the s6 and s6 edge

i dont know which one im going to get
[Galaxy S6 General] Gerdo R:
I wouldn't have minded the non-removable battery if it didn't have a relatively lower capacity than other flagships, especially with a QuadHD screen. In terms of design, I personally think it looks great, and fixing the plastic design that also didn't really feel great in hand is something that people have been asking for a while. No SD shouldn't really be a problem, there are plenty of great phones that don't have SD capability and you don't hear those people constantly complaining about it. You'll get over it. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 General] mgbotoe:
Lack of battery replacement at will, lack of water proof, lack of sd card, lack of 3.0usb did NOT make TW LESS bloaded by what you are saying.

Perhaps look to something else other than samsung if you do not like the bloated TW, that thing is here to stay on the s6 as well.

This is becoming an iphone tactic where you offer the users the option of 32 gb, 64 gb and 128 gb where anything at and above 64gb will be 1k+

This is a bad move by samsung, very very bad.

P.S removable battery IS and will also BE a feature OF the PHONE. Eye scrolling and the rest of the gimmics are features of the software.

There is a fine difference.
[Galaxy S6 General] gomez.pl:
so... the Galaxy S5 is my last galaxy phone....

this what samsung showm is "nail in the coffin" and fake copy of iphone :/

its time do go back to roots... HTC: Iam going for you :)
[Galaxy S6 General] mgbotoe:
true, it is a fake iphone lol...looks like it too. i loved bashing iphone users (name of joking of course)...now what am i going to tell them?
[Galaxy S6 General] kyogiro:
While like many others, as a Samsung core customer, I feel like let down by the new direction that has taken the Korean company. I can't think that overall I feel like it will benefit Samsung, I don't see the S6 fails like the S5 sales wise, and so, the company would have met its goal.

Above all else, I really miss the lack of a SD card slot.

For the rest, specs wise, once again, Samsung has done it and packed quite a premium device establishing itself as the hardware front runner in the Android world. I expect nothing else if not great quality photos from the new camera. The recent upgrades that AMOLED displays have received are quite something (my screen S5 LTE-A G906S screen is much better than a regular S5 color wise). And finally, quite a jump in the SoC department from those aging Snapdragon chips and aging Kraits structures. While it has been the cuting edge CPU for many years since the S4 Pro, really, to the S800, the lack of innovation has taken its toll.

Like I said, I still feel a bit sad about the lack of SD card slot and non removable battery but I must admit : way to go Sammy. I don't think I'm gonna buy the S6 though since I'm hoping the return of the SD card on the Note variant.
[Galaxy S6 General] furfmonkey:
im confused samsung made the ativ s way back in 2011/2012 and the iphone 6 is a copy of that.. http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphones/windows/GT-I8750ALABTU
[Galaxy S6 General] Galaxen:
Extremely disappointed with the battery and size of the phone...just thinner but would have loved if it was S4 size.

Its a nice and sexy looking phone but the price and weak battery with the >550ppi are a deal-breaker... not to mention the lack fo SD-card slot... So so so close!! :crying:

[Galaxy S6 General] marleyb:
Not impressed here tbh
[Galaxy S6 General] hella356:
The physical look/feel of a smart phone really don't matter to me at all. Functionality is the only thing I care about. The main reason I've been using Galaxy phones for 5 years is good CPUs, IMO the best screens in the business, a thriving development community. But the #1 reason has been the inclusion of an SD card slot, & #2 is removable battery. If Samsung's claims about battery life and quick charging are true, I could probably hold my nose and live with the imbedded battery. But no storage expansion is a deal killer for me. If the S6 had an SD slot, I'd get the 128GB version AND add a 128GB SD card. Looks like the HTC M9 or LG G4 are now the leading candidates for my next phone. It's a shame, because spec-wise the S6 looks incredibly good otherwise, although suddenly dropping water/dust resistance is another big knock against the S6.

This sound like less of a "giving customers what they want" scenario and more of a "do what Apple does" reaction. They have failed to grasp that most Apple lemmings will swallow anything Apple gives them without question. If they came out with a version of the S6 which had the same internals, but with the plastic body, battery, SD, and water resistance features of the S5, I'd be 100% onboard.
[Galaxy S6 General] BubZX:
I really hope with the Note 5 they don't do away with sd slot also.
[Galaxy S6 General] sohebq:
On a brighter side, things look good on GS6, esp edge version but i am afraid it won,t stop Samsung in falling down further in profits.

[Galaxy S6 General] tft:
samsung removed the sd card because of greed. they obviously want to sell phones at a higher price (they think they can because Apple does?) so the only way they could do that was removed the sd card so people spend more money on the 64/128gb version. there is no reason why they couldn't put a little flap on the side of the phone for the sd card.

almost seems as if samsung is tuning into Apple... doesn't look like i will buy another samsung phone for a while... a better build phone is nice, but at what cost? removed some key features for a better frame? no thanks.
[Galaxy S6 General] hella356:
Besides the fact that the apparently $1,000+ 128GB S6 has less storage capability than my 2 year old S4, this is a HUGE question. I recall that Exynos-based Samsungs have always been problematic in terms of custom ROMs. Hell, if there's no development for the S6, that's an even bigger deal killer than no SD card, to me. The Exynos processor appears to be as good or probably better overall than the 810 (although it's still too early to know for sure) but if custom ROMs are not doable, the S6 becomes the opposite of an enthusiast's phone.

Also, any word on whether the Wolfson DAC is in the S6?
[Galaxy S6 General] Super Chimp:
Well I don't fear my Nexus 6 blowing up because of fast charging. Sometimes people just appear to be scratching around for reasons to be negative about it.

Anyway here are some S6 camera examples.

[Galaxy S6 General] Hawke84:
If exynos means little to no development that's a big killer for me.
[Galaxy S6 General] Aqua1ung:
I actually had a Galaxy S2 that got stolen. Anyway, I recall the CyanogenMod team cursing about how hard it is to build Cyanogen for the Galaxy S2, and vowing to never again attempt that with Exynos-based phones. While things may have changed in the meantime, I wouldn't really put too much stock in a radical change.
