It is a tradition before the release of all high-end handsets, rumors and speculation is rife and all the high tech press any hard After product information.
The Samsung Galaxy series since the undeniable success of the Galaxy S2, the wait is important is euphemism for each new phone iteration of the series S. In 2015, we will have the sixth model, which should logically take the name of Galaxy S6.
Or not.
Because this phone comes in a very specific context for Samsung, for two reasons. The firm must initially obscure the relative failure of the Galaxy S5, which is not as convinced that he would have done it. In the second step is to stand out from the competition even more than usual since 2015 marks the advent of new competitors on the western lands: Chinese manufacturers such as Huawei, Xiaomi or Oppo, which account well European agreeing favors this year.
If Samsung does not respond, it may be on the European market in the same situation as in Asia where it is caught between Chinese manufacturers on the entry and mid range, and Apple has succeeded in establishing itself in Asia … to South Korea. Consequence: 5 financial results quarterly decline. A trend must be stopped quickly.
a priori , Samsung quite understand the stakes of this Galaxy S6. Internally, it would have taken the code name “Project Zero”. A way of saying that with this device, we made a clean sweep of the past to leave on new and sound foundations, far from a Galaxy S5 purring.
To find out more about what will happen in the Project Zero we have put together a quick summary of rumors about the smartphone which should in theory be presented at MWC, the largest fair for mobile telephony, which will open Monday, March 2nd. For the impatient, we even sent a good timeline worthy of the best course of history and geography.
One or two Galaxy S6?
Samsung has accustomed us to its decline flagship stores in several versions, Mini often but sometimes with a few minor updates. This was the case for example with the Galaxy S5 which enjoyed a mini declination and LTE-A release, also known as the Galaxy S5 Advance. Even more recently, the Galaxy Note 4 has been declined in a version of “Edge” with a curved edge.
This last strategy that has challenged rumor and both sides have thus emerged. The first remains in the current logic, with a Galaxy S6, which will be rolled with an Edge version, so with a curved edge. The second sees only one smartphone, which would then default curved but would go further than the Edge Note.
The two curved sides?
Whether or not two models, the rumors agrees about the fact that the model will be curved on both sides. This is possible, it has also seen a prototype LG at CES, LG and so knows how, Samsung probably knows too. The firm is perhaps also knowingly remained quiet about it for the surprise is complete.
The advantage of this format is suitable for both right-handed and left-handed, unlike what is found on the Galaxy Note Edge who must use software spins to give a little sense the curvature for left-handed, with relative success.
The logic would, however, that there are two separate terminals. Produce curved screens is complicated and expensive. To save stockouts and too salty addition to the client, this option seems the most likely.
810 Snapdragon like all others, or as a person Exynos
If these curvatures will certainly differentiating element of the S6, it obviously must not forget that the technical characteristics are a prime issue, even if it is not on this competition will be in the background. If one believes tidibits about other flagships, they should more or less follow the same data sheet.
Smartphone Manufacturers are required to chipmakers calendar and ARM such as those computers are Intel and AMD. However, Qualcomm’s roadmap is clear: high-end chip in mid-2015, it will be the Snapdragon SoC 810. A 64-bit, which will mark the transition to these architectures in the Android world.
Samsung is no exception, however, if Qualcomm will be present, it could be that the Korean uses, at least in part, solutions Exynos home. The rumor has it that some 810 meet some overheating problems, it could be left out temporarily, the time that Qualcomm manages to solve its production problems.
Screen larger, more defined
New processor, new screen also. Besides the curves, the diagonal should increase to 5.5 inches with a qHD resolution (2560 x 1440) which would give a resolution of about 534 ppi. An approach that is in the current trend, by fad and the marketing pitch mainly.
Plastic is not fantastic?
Renewal inside, change the outside. It has been said, with his “Project Zero” Samsung wants to start again on new bases and reposition itself in the high end. Consequence: the design of the machine would be reviewed. It was initially believed in a chassis completely in aluminum, like that found on the iPhone 6.
But since Samsung unveiled its Series A fully aluminum, and then there was the Galaxy Alpha, with aluminum edges and back plastic from the Galaxy S5. S6 would eventually cross between Alpha aluminum and glass found on Sony Xperia Z or iPhone 4 and 4S. The idea is to differentiate the lines while giving a more premium appearance to his smartphone.
lighter TouchWiz
Last piece he had to touch: the overlay. TouchWiz has often been accused of all the ills of Samsung smartphones. Heaviness, delays, questionable ergonomics Although full and interesting in many ways, TouchWizz is far from unanimous.
The Korean would have heard criticism and overcoat on the Galaxy S6 should be significantly simplified and stripped of certain functions deemed unnecessary, or rendered obsolete as the evolution of Android.
Price up
For now the rumor has not advanced on the price. If there is upmarket, Samsung could add a few euros at entrance ticket, and probably much more if there is a version of Edge. This is also the best argument for there being two versions of the smartphone, we said above.
Samsung, with a view to upmarket could in the worst case to match Apple’s price with its iPhone 6 to 709. At this rate, the upgrading will be very net, but Apple has shown that it is possible to sell – many – terminals, even at this price. However, not to shock, it may be more reasonable to rely on just over 600 euros, a moderate increase. Wet finger? hum … from 629 euros.
Announcement 2, but what about the exit?
Logic suggests that Samsung introduces S6 at the MWC. Rumor has long said, and recently a part of Korea announced in a major newspaper the announcement date: March 2 battery for the official opening of the Barcelona show.
However difficult to decide on the actual availability traditionally Samsung it takes a few weeks between the announcement and output. It is reasonable to rely on late March or early April.
