Samsung is all set to announce its flagship device, the Samsung Galaxy S6 at MWC 2015. The company has already started sending out invites for their Unpacked event. Still, Samsung have yet to show off its upcoming device in pictures and there are a number of rumors and images floating around on the internet claiming to be this revolutionary device. Now, some renders of the Galaxy S6 have come up online showing a glimpse of what the next Samsung flagship could look like. There have been some rumors claiming that the S6 will take its design inspiration from the Apple iPhone 6. For example, a previous leak showed off a chassis with port and speaker placement similar to the Apple's flagship phone. The renders seem to have taken inspiration from these leaks. Hence, the overall design renders of the phone looks a lot more rounded than traditional Galaxy flagships. If rumors are to be believed, then the S6 will reportedly feature a metal body measuring in at 143.52mm x 70.70mm x 7.19mm. The company is also said to be working on swappable back covers for the flagship model, but we are not sure of anything at the moment. MWC is just a few more weeks, so stay tuned. Meanwhile, check out the renders of the Galaxy S6 for yourself.

Samsung is all set to unveil its next flagship device, the Galaxy S6 this year. The company has already started sending out invites for its Unpacked event to be held on 1st March 2015 where it is said that the company will launch the Galaxy S6. The invite doesn't reveal anything particular about the specs of the upcoming device, except for a curvy line which could be hinting about the rumored Galaxy S6 Edge version. Other than that, there is very little information about the upcoming flagship. However, unofficially, a new report has come up online which claims that the pricing for both the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge has been revealed. The report says that the upcoming Samsung flagship will come in three different storage variants – 32GB, 64GB and 128GB. The base storage version will start at €749 (RM3096) followed by an additional €100 (RM413) for each larger variant.

Stay tuned for more details. 

Samsung is going back to its roots to develop the new Samsung Galaxy flagship. The initiative called as 'Project Zero' internally aims to develop a new flagship that stands out from the crowd. However, it looks like the company will be sticking to its usual naming scheme for the upcoming smartphone. SamMobile reports that the next Samsung flagship will be called the Samsung Galaxy S6. They have been right many times in the past few years especially when it comes to Samsung's plans, hence this report could be true. The website further reveals that the company is also planning to launch another variant of the flagship alongside the regular model called the Galaxy S6 edge. Judging from the name, the S6 edge could be curved display variant of the device, just like the Galaxy Note Edge. Expected tech specs of the Galaxy S6 include a 64-bit Exynos 7420 or Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 32/64/128GB storage, quad HD 2560 x 1440 pixel display and a 20MP rear camera. However, it is still early to confirm any of these reports, so make sure you take this news with a pinch of salt.

Apart from overseeing Google's Android and Chrome developments, Sundar Pichai was also seen going about at the Mobile World Congress 2014 recently. He made a number of interesting comments, one of which is that the Samsung Galaxy S6 would be running Android and not Tizen, which is Samsung's own home-grown mobile operating system. So far, Samsung have already put Tizen in their Samsung Galaxy Gear 2, Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 Neo and Samsung Gear Fit smartwatches and smartband with a possible Samsung Tizen smartphone expected soon. According to Sundar Pichai though, there is no cause for alarm as there is supposedly no tension going on between Samsung and Google. With the Samsung Galaxy S5 only just announced recently, a year-long wait is quite a while for such a claim to stay valid, so do take this with a grain of salt.
