Samsung Galaxy S6 Design Concept
Samsung Galaxy S6 would probably have the same look of Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy S4 with variable screen size or it might make a mixture of the Samsung Galaxy S2 and Samsung Galaxy S3 or you might think as it giving it a Blackberry Z10 or even Samsung Galaxy Note 3 like look .
Since all the Samsung Galaxy S series have plastic body and rumors are there that NOTE 3 will have a aluminum body so as far as trend goes Samsung will supposedly follow that ,even though it might increase the weight of the phone drastically but Samsung Galaxy S series have always been criticized for its plastic body .
Samsung Galaxy S6: Expected Design
Smartphones have been getting bigger, with screen size expanding with the expansion of features. This is one trend that doesn’t seem close to changing. Expect the S6 to feature a 5.1’’ screen. That screen may come with another big upgrade. There has long been talk from Samsung and other sources about their experimentation with flexible display screens. So far, these curved screens have only been seen on the Galaxy Round and Galaxy Fit but might change in future releases of their flagship phone. Rumors suggest these curved screens can be ready for incorporation in the Samsung Galaxy S6.
Samsung Galaxy S6: Expected Features
With each new smartphone, buyers expect things to be bigger, better, faster and even more beautiful. Samsung is aiming to satisfy all these expectations. Expect the biggest upgrades to be for the processor, camera, display and durability.
- The camera in previous S series phones will likely be outdone. Expect the new upgrades to be a 20MP high-quality rear camera and 4-7 front camera on the Samsung S6.
- The S5 still retained a 32 GB processor. By this point, this processor old news. With competitors already moving on, Samsung will have to upgrade to stay relevant. Considering this, a 64 GB processor is a safe bet for the S6. Rumors have suggested that an octa-core processor will be seen.
- Despite recent use of the Tizen OS, it’s doubtful Samsung will switch from the feature-rich Android operating system at this time. Prepare for the Android 5.0 operating system with the typical Touchwiz interface. There has been some lag with the Touchwiz interface in the past, and there has certainly been complaints. It wouldn’t be surprising for Samsung to update their interface. In fact, it’s pretty necessary if they want to take advantage of upgrades.
- A Wide Quad HD display screen with 40 ppi is expected with the 5.1’’ screen. The S5 touted a 1080 full-screen HD display. Expect the S6 to do even better with a 2560×1440 display.
- Everyone wants their phone battery to last longer. Samsung has done well in this area before. It’s not unreasonable to expect them to keep doing better. There have been rumors that a battery life of 4000mAH is possible. There has also been rumors of a 5000mAH battery being prepared for the S6. The first is more likely.
- For more ways to keep smartphones running longer, expect this phone to incorporate wireless charging capabilities. Samsung has criticized competitors for their recharging needs. Adding this technology would be a great step forward.
- There will be options for 32 GB and 64 GB internal storage. Also available will be 256 GB of storage available via microSD.
- The fingerprint scanner was introduced in the S5. It wasn’t a huge success, but it was a start. The S6 will continue to include this feature, though hopefully reworked to be a bit less finicky.
- For network features, 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE are all expected to be supported by the S6.
- Expect the new screen to be Gorilla Glass. Again, this is about Samsung’s lack of durability in previous phones. Gorilla Glass and a sturdier casing would be well-received by buyers.
- The S5 had some water resistance, something that has long been rumored to be a feature of the S6. People are now looking forward to the Galaxy S6 being completely waterproof. Is this likely? Maybe. Slight water resistance has been around since the S4 Active. It’s not unreasonable to think Samsung will take it farther in a phone that rumours suggest will be touting some big changes.
