Brings up an interesting question tho....does this design make cases basically useless?

I use wallet tyupe pouches and they make even more sense now

 

[knicks]

It looks like an iPhone 5 with a bigger screen. Which is pretty much the ideal phone for most.

 

[Your Entertainer]

What's the utility of the Edge display?

Edit: I guess we'll find out soon haha.

 

[terrisus]

So, waterproof?

 

[sun-drop]

id be surprised if the curved one was waterproof.

btw .. everyone keeps saying this will be like the note4 edge, i don't think thats what they are going for at all ..doubt we will see the whole seperate screen down the side bizzo .. its a lot more subtle on the S6 .. almost purly cosmetic .. maybe some notfication patterns to appear down the side if anything imo ..

check out the s6 vs the N4E ...

 

[sun-drop]

First oficial rendered image ?

Totally matches the official images...

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Just broke my damn Note 2 after all this time. Cracked the screen today.

Is this phones's screen size going to be smaller, larger, or the same size as the Note 2's screen?

It'll definitely be smaller than the 5.5" screen on the Galaxy Note 2. The screen size will probably end up being 5.2" as an upgrade from the 5.1" screen of the Galaxy S5.

I'm also hearing stuff that backs up the two model theory.... I wasn't too sold on the curve idea after the note but this new look....dam. Sold

Ummm there will be two versions. Why don't most of these websites get it right?

 

[Lashley]

Get my upgrade in August, so I'll likely get the s6 then

 

[asdad123]

So, waterproof?

I hope it's waterproof. It's a great feature. I loved it on the s5 I owned. If so, I'm in day one.

 

[terrisus]

I don't care about curve.
So, as long as one version of it is...

I hope it's waterproof. It's a great feature. I loved it on the s5 I owned. If so, I'm in day one.

Yeah, I have an S5 Active, but would have a hard time giving it up for a non-waterproof phone now.

 

[Goldrush]

Would the curve edge hide the bezels when looking from the front?

 

[Bsigg12]

They pretty have to make all their phones dust/water proof going forward right? It would seem like a step back if they weren't.

I wonder if they'll talk GearVR for the GS6 on Sunday. I held out on picking up a Note 4 because I was reading rumors that they would be releasing a version of GearVR for the S6. I guess we'll see.

 

[jwk94]

So, waterproof?

That and plastic are all I want out of this phone. Say what you want about how plastic looks, the fact that I can drop my phone without it shattering or sustaining any damage says a lot.

 

[BUNTING1243]

Samsung's going for it. The curved glass and lack of bezel....hmmmmmm.

 

[Eos]

my next phone

 

[Cheebo]

Surprised not much talk how there is no slot for a microsd in any of the leaked images/renders. Looks like that feature is gone.

 

[clav]

Countdown for livestream.

[FalsettoVibe]

Won't the curved one be easier to damage(if dropped)?

Here are all the released leaked images of the Samsung Galaxy S6.

No microSD is a no sell from me considering I have my music in my S4 via the microSD.

There isn't going to be any Micro SD card slot, however according to Sammobile, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edgewill be available in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB storage options.

Going the Apple route? No expandable battery and no microSD but a "curved" screen? Fuck outta here. I'm out.

 

[darkwing]

uh, is that usb port uncovered? looks like its not going to be waterproof

 

[mj1108]

I was actually intrigued by this, but with a non-removable battery and no SD card slot....any interest I had in it is gone.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Well neither was the Note 4 even though the S5 was. Going back to USB 2 for quick charge functions.

 

[Avixph]

Here's a new image of the back of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.

 

[jwk94]

Plus no waterproof smh.

 

[otapnam]

Yeah. wtf are they doing

 

[Slayer-33]

Wait wut

So S5 it is then?

 

[Avixph]

Plus no waterproof smh.

If you want waterproof you are going to have to wait for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active.

 

[Dragonborn]

Ugh, no SD card blows. What's even a good andoid phone that has an SD card nowadays?

 

[Avixph]

Ugh, no SD card blows. What's even a good andoid phone that has an SD card nowadays?

The HTC One series and the LG G series, but LG might change that withe G4 seeing as how Samsung is dropping the Micro SD card slot and because of this.

 

[El_Chino]

I was actually intrigued by this, but with a non-removable battery and no SD card slot....any interest I had in it is gone.

Same. I'll stay with my Note 3 until the Note 5, hopefully it'll have a removable battery and microSD.

I can't believe they went with the Apple route. What the fuck?

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

The fuck, no micro SD card slot? Not gonna pay out the ass for more storage.

Now i gotta look for something else. Unless the difference between the 32, 64 and 128GB models is 20€. But i´ll bet it will be 100€ between them.

Fucking Samsung.

 

[jwk94]

If you want waterproof you are going to have to wait for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active.

Nah I'm good. I don't like the look of the Active series. How are the Sony phones?

 

[Avixph]

Sony is considering leaving the mobile phone market.

 

[jwk94]

Sony is considering leaving the mobile phone market.

smfh. So Samsung is out, Sony's probably out, what else is there? HTC and Motorola?

 

[Enzom21]

Isn't the microSD slot a major selling point of some Android phones? Why alienate your consumer base by removing it? Doesn't seem smart.

 

[Avixph]

smfh. So Samsung is out, Sony's probably out, what else is there? HTC and Motorola?

HTC is a good choice if you don't mind them using the same front design as the One M8 for the One M9. As for Motorola I don't know.

 

[jwk94]

I've never had an HTC so that doesn't exactly bother me. Aren't their batteries supposed to be crap though?

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Battery Life and Camera quality are probably the two weakest elements on HTC's phones. That being said their batteries are still better than what Motorola has used with the Moto X series and it sounds like they're going to be fixing the camera issues with the M9.

Hmm how are they compared to the Galaxy phones? Also is it the power button sitting next to the other on screen buttons in that m9 promo video?

 

[markot]

Boring design called, oh wait I can see the caller id, he is in the house samsung get out!

 

[Avixph]

Here are some new images of the Samsung Galaxy S6.

 

[Bsigg12]

God dammit. There's a glass back. That sucks so damn much.

 

[Forsaken82]

What's the reasoning behind having a high resolution display on a small screen?

Doesn't it drain the battery more?

Now these smartphones are coming out with resolutions higher than the average computer's.

Isn't that the point of the larger capacity batteries? My S5 easily lasts twice as long as my S3 did.

 

[Bsigg12]

The battery in the S6 is allegedly smaller than that of the S5.

 

[dc89]

Why Samsung persist with TouchWiz is simply beyond me, it's utter dross.
