Samsung Galaxy S6: everything you think you know a week of the … – Frandroid

One week the launch of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ​​rumors keep coming around the future flagships. Let’s look at Samsung with its Galaxy future that should naturally carry the S6 name. A brief overview of rumors and information circulating on the net about it

 Samsung Galaxy S6 Concept

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is awaited for. The Galaxy S5 has a big disappointment compared to former flagships of the Korean giant, which has earned particular the head of the team responsible for the design, replaced by Lee Min-hyouk, the author of the design of the first Galaxy S. The Galaxy S6 so can not disappoint and Samsung seems to have bet big, at least for the design part.

Metal and glass?

The first reliable rumors of the use of metal Galaxy S6 dating back to last August. It was then issue a terminal completely of metal, a few weeks before the formalization of Alpha Galaxy and Galaxy Note 4 with their metal edges. Since we had the right to Galaxy A range completely of metal. The Galaxy S5 was particularly disappointed because of the exclusive use of plastic. So there is now no doubt: Galaxy S6 should be well made entirely of metal, unless Samsung decides to use glass on the back cover, a material that also pleases in the premium segment . It can however be sure that the edges are well and truly in aluminum.

The fingerprint sensor should always be in the game, but completely revised compared to the current implementation in Samsung devices. Indeed, once one has tasted the sensor of the Ascend Mate 7 or better, the iPhone, it seems impossible for us to return to that of Samsung as the operation is capricious. The new help to unlock the phone just by placing the finger on the sensor and no longer slips doing r, improving the way the recognition rate. If this is the case, it would force Samsung to integrate a physical button bigger than the current one. Not sure, however, that the Korean giant is ready to break his design as the large button and purpose is a part of the signature of the constructor.

In theory, the Galaxy S6 should be much thinner than the current flagship. According to rumors, it would even question 6.9 mm against 8.1 mm for the Galaxy S5 . So it would be below the iPhone 6 with 7.1 mm. To achieve such a result, the battery would be the first victim since it would seem that the ability of the latter is limited to 2600 mAh against 2800 mAh for the S5. Too bad for autonomy, unless Samsung does so heavy artillery with a new evolution of AMOLED consumes less and a processor engraved in 14nm and more energy efficient. In theory, wireless charging should be part of the story to recharge his phone around without asking too many questions (yet he will have to find compatible surfaces).



A AMOLED ? QHD

For the screen, there is only one feature which we are certain: Samsung will use its AMOLED technology. For the rest, it’s a little blurry. The first of October rumors spoke of a 5.3 inch display supporting a UHD definition (4K) with 3640 x 2160 pixels. This gave a resolution of 831 PPP, too high for a smartphone. More recently, the Galaxy S6 was sighted on AnTuTu, the opportunity to discover a screen 5.5 inches with a qHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels) more likely. Other sources speak in turn a 4.9 inch screen . The Galaxy S5 remained in Full HD, but with competition that focuses more on the QHD, it seems that Korean is ready to take the plunge, though this is not necessarily a good idea as fleas Mobile struggle to properly rotate intensive games in such a definition.

We hope of course that different display modes will always be present to allow users to adapt certain features of the relative screen colorimetry. Convenient for allergic rendering supernatural AMOLED, the other manufacturers would do well to emulate.



The Exynos 7420 would replace the Snapdragon 810

This is certainly the more prompt for the Galaxy S6: what mobile chip will he be able to integrate well? Initially, it was thought the last 810 Qualcomm Snapdragon. But soon, many rumors have multiplied around the SoC: overheating, driver problems, etc. A rumor that Samsung would happen Snapdragon 810 for its Galaxy S6 quickly emerged. Enhanced rumor a few days later by Qualcomm announced the loss of a major customer for the year 2015. The presence of the Snapdragon 810 is very likely.

Instead Samsung would use the Exynos Octa 7 (7420) , which was at the base only be present in the Asian version of the device. For a time in many years, the Samsung flagship propose the same chip, regardless of the region of the world. This Exynos 7420 has already been seen in the benchmarks, which allows us to know the characteristics. Thus, the SoC integrates a octo-core processor consists of two groups of cores: four Cortex-A57 which could be clocked at 1.8 or 2.1 GHz along with a group of four Cortex A53 may be clocked at 1.5 GHz. RAM is forecast to increase to 3 GB with a storage space that could last from 32 to 128 GB through 64 GB box. As for the graphics chip, it would be a Mali-T760 ARM without specifying the number of its core units (the famous MP)

D Moreover, it is possible that the S6 Galaxy introduces a new type of memory called to let the UFS eMMC side . The type of memory UFS is much faster than the eMMC and last November Rumours imply its use by Xiaomi and Samsung in 2015. More recently, the Korean giant announced 5.1 eMMC memory chips by specifying that the UFS memory arrive shortly. At Mobile World Congress in the Galaxy S6? Why not.



A lighter version of TouchWiz

For the software part, we do not really know what we prepared Samsung. One could expect a TouchWiz reviewed thoroughly, but it will surely wait for that surprise. Instead, it would TouchWiz as we know it today, but slightly optimized to increase performance of the whole. Thus, many default applications are uninstalled and proposed option to download . Samsung has even willing to have such a responsive and easy to use as a terminal Nexus 6 But without any additional interface.



A mobile comfortable in photo

Finally, the Galaxy S6 could be distinguished by his photo part. No truly reliable rumor has addressed the issue, but we must expect a torque sensor – quality objective. In fact, Samsung has posted a teaser photo incensing qualities of his flagship. We can then think of the Sony Exmor RS IMX230 21 megapixel sensor and provided with a phase-detection autofocus, an innovation in mobility. However, the first rumors rather spoke of a 20 megapixel sensor and the latest rumor is certain that the Samsung device will eventually be equipped with the Sony Exmor RS IMX240 that can be found for example in the Galaxy Note 4 . with optical stabilization

The Galaxy S Edge and curved edges

Along with the announcement of the Galaxy S6, Samsung should formalize a second alternative: the Galaxy S Edge. Much like the Galaxy Note Edge, the Galaxy S Edge resume specifications S6 by adding a strongly differentiating element curved edges . Unlike the Edge Galaxy Note, Galaxy S Edge incorporate two curved edges and not just one. The rest of the data sheet is identical, except for the display since the leakage indicate 5.1 inches. Finally, it may make sense compared to 4.9-inch screen Galaxy S6 classic since have here a slightly larger screen.
