Samsung isn't even hiding it anymore, the next Galaxy flagship from the device maker will launch during a Samsung Unpacked event on the 1st of March, just before the Mobile World Congress is due to take place.
The Samsung Mobile Twitter account begun teasing the next flagship with a #TheNextGalaxy hashtag, The first tweet from the account said “I am #TheNextGalaxy. Be inspired by my vision at #Unpacked.”
The account cover photo is also a silhouette of a curved smartphone, confirming rumours of the device's design change.
A video teaser was also posted by the Samsung Twitter account, although this only really shows off the phone's rear camera, which Samsung begun teasing earlier this week on its own blog.
So as far as we can tell, the Samsung Galaxy S6 will be revealed on the 1st of March at the Samsung Unpacked event. The new camera is set to be a big selling point and the device will either be curved or there will be a curved variant. We already know that the device will be using Samsung's own Exynos chip and will likely feature 3GB of RAM.
We don't know an exact shipping date yet but word on the street is that it will be around the 22nd of March.
KitGuru Says: The Samsung Galaxy S6 is just a few weeks away. Do you guys think Samsung will have done enough to make this year's version stand out from the crowd?
In a word ‘no’ Samsung wont be able to make this ‘version stand out from the crowd’. There is only so much you can add to a smart phone, and tech isn’t innovating fast enough in this department.
Samsung only innovation was Galaxy S (I have one) which directly challenged iPhone 4 but with mediocre software.
After that, they just fed the crowd with spec but still mediocre software. I mean you can install 3rd party ROM to get better experience but it is a different matter. Slow update and not really promising to get the newest ROM also their bad part.
Up until moto g, which lowered the spec benchmark but with quite satisfying experience, and hit all oem with their crazy custom UI especially Samsung. Apple went to bigger screen size to grab newer (old) market.
All in all was proofed by 2014 report where samsung’s profit went down in mobile department.
Well, they also brought up note but i tried note 3 (well, my dad got one) and it was just awful for an SD800 phone. At least, they are smart enough to shrink down their mobile department quickly as their market is shrinking at quite alarming pace. Low end market in developing countries is owned by xiaomi, android one, etc. High end one is overcrowded by all major brands with almost same hardware wise and not to forget the rumor that next iPhone would get 2GB RAM which could only mean they’re up to something new in hardware-software department
Their only stakes are flagships with galaxy s and note. If they wanted to grab more market or at least hold their share, they should kill/redo touchwiz and innovate something new, not just pumping up camera mpx, screen, mediocre FP sensor. The hype is gone… well it had gone since 2-3 years ago after nexus 4 & 7 arrival.
