So to sum all this up and help you focus your expectations on a certain limit, we have a short list of things that we have come to know in the last year about the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. This will solve your confusion to some extent - but to clear all those confusions and doubts, you will need to wait a few more minutes.
Looks
The thing that matters most about any smartphone nowadays is how well it looks. In today’s, world a smartphone needs to look bold, elegant, and yet simple. Looks of any smartphone need to be developed in such a way that they cater the needs of all types of consumers from professionals to rock stars. All that we know about the the looks of these phones is that they are simple yet elegant.
The Galaxy S6 is plain and looks a bit like iPhone 6 Plus. On the back, you could expect a Scratch Resistant Glass Back. The camera will be placed in center on the upper side like the Galaxy S5 with the flash on the right.
The volume buttons are situated quite near the top on the left side while power button on the right side. On the bottom of the front side, there will be a oval-rectangular home button and two other touch buttons.
Over all, the looks are really great and anyone will be loving this phone a lot. So be prepared to be amazed.
Cameras
The Galaxy S6 will need to have the best camera in the smartphone market to impress the customers. There are many different options available for camera in the Galaxy S6. In the Galaxy S5, Samsung used a 16-Megapixel camera.
So now in the Galaxy S6, we could easily expect a 20 or might be 21-megapixel camera at least. If Samsung is good enough, then it can even gift us with an amazing 24-Megapixel camera. No matter what camera Samsung offers, it will surely be amazing.
For the front camera, Samsung will go for 8-megapixel camera - which will be a wide angle camera and made for shooting some amazing selfies. Selfies is something that Samsung has been using lately to promote many of its phones and Galaxy S6 will surely be up to the expectations in this case.
Processor
Samsung has been using chips designed by Qualcomm for a really long time. In simple words, Samsung has been the biggest customer of Qualcomm’s chips. This year, it was expected that Samsung will use the latest 64-bit chip developed by Qualcomm.
But as 2015 started, rumors surfaced that the Qualcomm has lost a big customer. Everyone wondered who it was, slowly it became clear that this big customer was Samsung who was supposed to use the 64-bit chips in Galaxy S6. The reason behind this was that the chips made by Qualcomm were heating up.
So Samsung made good decision from this chance. It opted to develop its own chip by using the chips developed by the company itself. We know the chip development department of Samsung as Exynos. Samsung will be using the latest 64-bit Exynos chips in Galaxy S6 which are currently the best available in the world.
Memory
There have been many different rumors about the memory of the Galaxy S6. Samsung had a really wide number of choices - ranging from 16GB to 128GB. Samsung has chosen to start from 32GB for the lowest version of the galaxy S6, for the mid-range there will be 64GB memory and for the highest model, Samsung has chosen the 128GB of memory.
For RAM, Samsung has the option of using 3GB or 4GB. In the Galaxy S5, Samsung used 2GB of RAM which was quite sufficient for many. Well, it will now be upgraded to 4GB which will let your device operate well in all circumstances.
Display
Samsung is known for making some of the best displays in the last few years. It has been producing displays for many other smartphone companies too. It is known for producing displays with highest resolutions.
For the Galaxy S6, people thought Samsung could go for a 4K display but it was quite ahead of time. So Samsung just went with something that suited today’s world and this was a display with around 2.5K resolution which is quite enough.
The EDGE
The Galaxy S6 Edge is the phone from which people have some great expectations. The expectations are not from the phone, but from the curved edge that Samsung will be using with the display.
The Edge variant will have a curved display on both sides unlike the Galaxy Note which had curved display on one side. The curve will be slightly less prominent as compared to the Note Edge as the Galaxy S6 will be thinned and the curved part of the screen will be smaller.
Apart from that, there might be some production issues as Samsung will now be making the Edge devices in access - this means these devices will go short in market if consumers love it and in return, the prices might go sky rocketing.
Just wait a few more hours and you will see how great these phones actually are. To stay updated, come back in a few minutes as the unveiling starts at MWC 2015 at 17:30 GMT. You could also see the live stream on Samsung’s official stream page or YouTube channel
