Samsung Galaxy S6 Release Date Rumors: Rumors About Upcoming Samsung Flagship And Edge Variety; Curved Screens Coming?

Jan 20, 2015 08:00 AM EST | By Julia Maire Francisco

Samsung's next flagship device, the Samsung Galaxy S6, is expected to arrive in spring 2015, and some rumors and speculation have already begun to surface.

It is expected Samsung will launch two Galaxy S6 devices in 2015 - the standard model and Galaxy S6 Edge - in an effort to refresh its standard, yearly upgrade cycle.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 will have a curved display, it is being reported, following on from the company's existing Note range.

It is unknown whether either device will sport any further hardware updates, though it is likely the Galaxy S5's water resistant case, heart-rate sensor and fingerprint scanner will be carried over.

Some sources have claimed the Galaxy S6 will feature a touch-sensor, replacing the swipe-based sensor the Galaxy S5 currently sports.

With the new sensor, users will be able to unlock the device by placing their full fingerprint on the home button, which could also be larger.

SamMobile's report on the component says: "The new touch-based sensor is built into the home button as well, just like its predecessor. However, we are told the Korean company has made the home button slightly bigger compared to the Galaxy S5 and Note 4, which makes the experience flawless.

"With the new touch-based sensor, you wouldn't have to swipe your finger on the sensor anymore; instead, you would just place your fingertip on the home key - at any angle - then lift it off, and that's it."

The first indication Samsung is planning a major departure from previous releases with the S6 was in the codename, 'Project Zero', which ditched the company's usual pattern of giving projects alphabetical monikers (e.g. Project K for the Galaxy S5) ahead of release.

The two devices are tipped to launch at MWC 2015, which is scheduled to take place sometime between 2-5 March.
