The Galaxy S6 and its flood of rumors, this will make a big void when the next smartphone from Samsung will be formalized. Therefore enjoy while there is still time, and all the better, since we have today is a double batch of the terminal about gossip.

First of all on design. After a photo – supposedly – a former phone prototype, rendering equally assumed the smartphone has surfaced on Weibo, relayed by Antonio Monaco Twitter. Rounded shapes we can see, in the vein of those of the iPhone 6 and a “home” button a little wider, which could be enough to like fingerprint reader to Apple TouchID.

Screen 5 inches?

In addition, and this time if one believes the listing of Indian carrier Zauba, the smartphone is equipped with a 5-inch screen. One can see a Samsung device “SM-G920V” this diagonal.

If it is indeed the S6, it means that for the first time, the brand would see down the dimensions of the screen of his flagship.

This is not necessarily stupid in that it more easily distinguish the Galaxy Note 4 to 5.7 inches. This also fits in the ranges simplification policy. This will however against rumors that spoke of a 5.5-inch screen. Therefore expect the formalization to be held March 2 to have the heart net.

Unless it is March 1, since the Vietnamese website Tinhte managed to get hold of an invitation to a Samsung Unpacked event to be held the day before the official opening of the 2015 MWC . For now, it remains a rumor but if it is authentic, it should reach release in the coming days.
