Samsung Electronics is preparing to wow the press and fans at a special event on March 1, where the company is expected to reveal the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge. The event, which is called Unpacked, will take place in Barcelona, Spain, ahead of the Mobile World Congress.
The event invitation the company sent out to the press on Monday suggests that it might unveil a smartphone with a curved design. We suspect this device is indeed the Galaxy S6 Edge since the standard Galaxy devices do not have a curved design.
This event is very important to Samsung due to the struggles the company faced back in 2014. The overall smartphone market grew steadily during the year, however, Samsung experienced a slide in unit sales regardless. It only means the Korean giant must pull off a wonderful show in order to get fans and the press excited in what it plans to bring to the table.
We’ve seen time and time again that Samsung knows how to build a solid flagship smartphone, so we are expecting the company to deliver on a device that is well-designed, performs exceptionally, and has a clean user interface.
It should be known that the Galaxy Note 4 is Samsung’s best smartphone yet, and a step in the right direction. The Korean giant only needs to mimic certain aspects of the Note 4 along with some improvements and it should have a winner on its hands.
The Galaxy S6 Rumors:
Past rumors claim Samsung plans to launch two Galaxy models in the form of the standard Galaxy S6, and the Galaxy S6 Edge. We understand the Galaxy S6 Edge might come with a 1440 x 2560 display that wraps around the edge of the hardware. The screen size is expected to be 5.1-inches similar to the Galaxy S5, which shouldn’t be much of a problem for Android fans.
Other exciting specifications include a 20-megapixel camera on the back and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.
The standard Galaxy S6 should have the same hardware specifications, with the lack of a display that wraps around the edge being the main difference.
