Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge rumours continue: 5.1-inch displays, 3-sided screen, all-metal body

Talks around Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S6 models just don’t seem to die. There have been several reports confirming two Galaxy S6 models, and here’s yet another. Citing some people related to the matter, a report by Bloomberg now confirms that Samsung is working on two models, and one these models will feature a display covering three sides.

The report further adds that the sources who refused to disclose their identity as the details are yet to be released, also said that both phones will come with all-metal bodies and equipped with Samsung’s most advanced processor chips.

One of the sources also told Bloomberg that the other model to be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress will only feature a front-facing display. Both phones will have 5.1-inch displays.

The new devices will also use metal frames supplied by BYD Electronic International, adds the report. Previous reports have been hinting at Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge to be the names of the upcoming devices. The devices are likely to be available in four different colour choices.

In terms of specs , the Galaxy S6 may feature an Ultra HD 4K display, 4GB RAM and a 20MP camera. An initial specs list for S6 said that the device would have a 5.3-inch 4K AMOLED display, a 64-bit Exynos 7420 or Snapdragon 810 processor depending on the country, 5 megapixel front camera, and Broadcom’s new sensor chip.

Samsung is also expected to release the Galaxy S6 with Exynos 7 and LTE.  Initially, Samsung was testing the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset, but it was found to cause over heating, which made Samsung drop the idea of using the Snapdragon 810 SoC . Qualcomm has agreed to rework the Snapdragon 810 SoC for Samsung’s flagship device.

Another report last week had revealed that the 32GB Galaxy S6 variant is likely to be priced at 749 euros that is approximately Rs 53,000, 64GB at 849 euros which comes to approximately Rs 62,000 and and 128GB version to cost 949 euros (approx. Rs 69,300). The 32GB Galaxy S6 Edge is likely to be priced at 849 euros ​that is about Rs 59,500, 64GB version at 949 euros (approx. Rs 66,400) and 128GB variant at 1049 euros which comes to Rs 73,300.
