The Samsung Galaxy S6 is due out sometime over the next few months and may include new “magnetic resonance” wireless charging technology, making it the first consumer device to implement what could become the new standard.
This is all according to a new Korean report spotted by Patently Apple. If Samsung were to adopt this new technology, it could encourage other industry leaders to follow suit and push forward magnetic resonance.

Magnetic Resonance chargers send electromagnetic energy to devices that contain the same resonant frequencies, allowing for efficient power transfer with no wires.
Aside from this, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is rumored to launch with some high end specifications, including a 64-bit Exynos chip or the Snapdragon 810. 4GB of RAM may also be found under the hood along with a 20 megapixel camera in the back.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 is expected to launch in March, almost one year after the S5. A re-designed version of Touch Wiz could be on the cards, which will help Samsung reinvigorate the Galaxy brand and help restore some of its former popularity.

KitGuru Says: Samsung needs to bring some innovation to the table this year if it wants to stop the Galaxy brand sales decline.
I’d buy it if I could just install stock Android on it. Not even a redesigned TouchWiz will convince me.
I’d buy it if it didnt use capacitive buttons. Wish they had at least an option for dynamic buttons.
both problems can be solved by rooting your phone:)
(especially easy with Samsung phones)
You can actually enable dynamic buttons? I’ve tried looking it up and haven’t had luck looking for it. And yes my phone is rooted but no custom ROMs on it at the moment.
There is an app (root is needed of course) called SoftKey Enabler

and the following Xposed Module can be used to change the softkeys (not working on Android 4.4!):

And to just enable the soft keys, an edit to the build.prop file can enable it:”qemu.hw.mainkeys=0″ needs to be added/changed to 0. This key simply says: the phone doesn’t have physical buttons.
