With the Samsung Galaxy S6 , the South Korean company may finally introduce a massive change not only the hardware but also in the design : according to new rumors, is in fact creating a smartphone characterized a appearance and form factor very different than the devices of the same range introduced in the past.

It’s no secret that Samsung should renew the series Galaxy S: between a fiscal quarter ( last) disastrous and disappointing performance of the Galaxy S5 in terms of sales, the company really needs to offer the public something different, that does not represent only a hardware revision of the last device in the range. We learn now that the Samsung Galaxy S6 should offer a unibody aluminum and have a curved screen on both sides and not only on one side as seen in the recent Samsung Galaxy Note Edge.

Especially curious is the fact that such a feature would not be exclusive of starvation and chat Edge variant of the Galaxy S6, but standard and therefore also present in the traditional version phone, characterized according to rumors from a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 810 rather than the Exynos 7 owner. Anyway, the project would be Samsung Galaxy S6 different from the peculiar Galaxy Note Edge : in fact, “the solution may also be different in order not to affect the ergonomics of the smartphone that would probably difficult to grip with both sides and curved glass, “says the source.

At the moment it seems unlikely that both editions of the Samsung Galaxy S6 have a curved screen, for two reasons: first of all, not all consumers could appreciate such a choice, and it would therefore be too great a risk for Samsung Galaxy S range that focuses on more than any other product; Moreover, it appears unlikely that the company will be able to produce a curved glass for all the millions of units planned for the device.

If the latest rumors prove to be accurate , they should still know more soon: the official presentation of Samsung Galaxy S6 is in fact currently scheduled for the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ​​which will take place in late February 2015; several sources have suggested, however, that Samsung could anticipate the reveal as early as January, taking advantage of the media attention around the Consumer Electronics Show 2015 in Las Vegas.
