Samsung Galaxy S6 Rumors, Update: Next-Gen Flagship to Arrive With 4GB of RAM, S6 Edge to Have to Curved Sides
Recent reports about the two upcoming marquee phones from Samsung indicated that the next-gen Samsung Galaxy S-series flagship device will have a higher amount of RAM while its other variant will arrive with a more "pretentious" design than its predecessor.
For one, GSMArena.com cited a report from a Korean publication about the Samsung Galaxy S6 saying that the device will feature 4GB of RAM. Previous rumors meanwhile indicated that the S5 successor will have one less gigabyte of memory.
"We will not be hugely surprised if the Galaxy S6 is available with 3GB or 4GB of RAM depending on its hardware configuration -- LG did this with the G3," the site speculated.
As for the specs, the S6 is slated to include either a Snapdragon 810 (for North American market) processor or an Exynos 7420 chipset (for other markets) and a 5.5-inch QHD display.
The unit will also boast with a 20MP primary camera to be coupled with a 5MP front-facing snapper.
For its Edge variant, PhoneArena.com has a report on this.
As what they wrote, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is expected to hit the shelves with a more "pretentious" look than the older Note Edge. The tech website cited SamMobile indicating that that the South Korean tech giant is currently working on a "Galaxy S6 with two-edge displays, on each side."
Details from the rumor site also pointed out that the device, with the model number SM-G925, might be known as the Galaxy S6 Edge.
About its twin-edge displays, the report claimed that users can easily access and activate essential apps on either sides.
There's also the Glance Lighting where the side screen/s will light up each time a new notification or incoming call arrives.
Furthermore, the next-gen Edge version of the purported S6 will also utilize the same "panel-based system" found on the earlier Galaxy Note Edge.
It isn't known whether or not the two devices will simultaneously be unveiled during the MWC in Barcelona.
