Samsung finally announced its latest flagship smartphone at an event at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on March 1.
So, what can we expect from a Galaxy S6? All of this is conjecture, of course, but here's our best educated guesses on the details of Samsung's next big thing. We'll also have a huge team on the ground in Barcelona, so be sure to check back regularly.


Specifications

Network
Technology
GSM / HSPA / LTE


Launch
Announced On 2015, March 1
Status Rumored. Exp. release 2015, Q1

Body
Dimensions 143.4 x 70.5 x 6.8 mm (5.65 x 2.78 x 0.27 in)
Weight 138 g (4.87 oz)
Build Corning Gorilla Glass 4 back panel
SIM Nano-SIM
- Fingerprint sensor (PayPal certified)
- Samsung Pay (Visa, MasterCard certified)


Display
Type Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
Size 5.0 inches (~67.9% screen-to-body ratio)
Resolution 1440 x 2560 pixels (~587 ppi pixel density)
Multitouch Yes
Protection Corning Gorilla Glass 4
- TouchWiz UI

Samsung is set to stick with the excellent Super AMOLED displays we've seen from the company for quite a while on the Galaxy S6.

This time we can expect the S6 display to get a resolution bump, much like the Galaxy Note 4, with a 2560 x 1440 pixel QHD resolution.

Numerous sources including SamMobile, Cnmo.com and TechTastic have all published reports suggesting the Galaxy S6 will come with a QHD 1440 x 2560 display making it look very likely.



Galaxy S5 screen

As for the size of the display, it may be increased a little much like it has been for the last few iterations meaning it'll likely edge up to 5.2 or 5.3 inches.

It looks like there will also be a Galaxy S6 Edge with a curved edge on the display like the Galaxy Note Edge. A new advert from Samsung suggests it'll be happening with the first image of the handset – it isn't currently clear if this is the normal S6 or the Edge variant though.



Platform
OS Android OS, v5.0 (Lollipop)

Android 5.0 Lollipop will be the star of the show, coupled with Samsung's TouchWiz Android skin. But there's a curious wrinkle here: Some rumors claim that Samsung is hoping to dial down TouchWiz on the new device, with the aim of improving performance. But TouchWiz isn't dead: it's a critical part of Samsung's Android identity, and while the company has been reining in features for some time now, don't expect a pure Android experience.


Chipset Exynos 7420
OS Android OS, v5.0.2 (Lollipop)
Chipset Exynos 7420
CPU Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & Quad-core 2.1 GHz Cortex-A57
GPU Mali-T760MP8


Expect top-of-the-line guts for the Galaxy S6. We expect a Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor from Qualcomm (as found in the upcoming LG G Flex 2) , but reports suggest that Samsung may be opting for its own Exynos 7420 for the first run, and possibly even issuing two variants of the phone.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 chip reportedly overheated during testing, which may have prompted Samsung to stick to its own wares. Microsoft has also confirmed that it will use the Snapdragon 810 in a flagship Lumia device, which could lend a new Lumia smartphone some extra processing power over a Samsung S6 equipped with an Exynos chip. That said, Samsung could also release variants of the Galaxy S6 with different processors in different territories -- something it's done with past flagship phones.

Samsung Galaxy S6 have fast wireless charging

Samsung outlines a "commitment to a wireless future" and hails the advances that've been made in wireless charging technology. The timing of these affirmations is so close to Samsung's upcoming Unpacked event that it's hard to dismiss as mere coincidence

Do be wary of fakes /clones/ replica units of Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge at the moment. The clones are to be said to be almost similar to the originals. Take a look at the video to understand further.

Official set or as you called original sets from SME Samsung Malaysia Electronics bears the companies seals, stickers and paperwork from the Company itself. Please double check on the set you are buying to check if your set is an official set from Samsung Malaysia. You can match the Imei and Serials numbers on the box and inside the phone to verify its authencity.

U need to be aware which retailer is selling that phone u want to buy. Some stated refurbished, some with local manufacturer waranty, some with international waranty and some NO waranty.

I dont specifically blame lazada, but every buyer needs to read the fine print. I cancelled my note 4 order because it was an international unit with no waranty.

U are paying premium price for a piece of hardware, do some homework before paying.

Send a complain mail to lazada with screenshot. Or better, post it on their facebook page.

Best if you could choose the option Cash On Delivery so you can inspect your items first before paying. I read someone received his set unsealed and this is a big no no to me.
