Samsung Galaxy S6 Update: Now Samsung's Going Metal, Samsung Galaxy Alpha A5, the New Rival of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus
Samsung is ready to compete, yet again, against its major competitor in terms of build and design. The recent iPhone 6 and 6 Plus has gotten bad reviews due to the 'bending' problem. Now, here is the speculated Samsung Galaxy S6, coming in all metals, they say. The competition implies pressure for the Samsung guys to release the S6 soon enough.
After all, SamMobile published a report stating that Samsung is ready to unveil the Alpha device but is still working on its final touches.
The rumored S6 is codenamed "SM-A500", and also called the Samsung Galaxy Alpha A5. Unlike the previous Galaxy Alpha and Note 4, the rumored device will have metals all over, not just at the edge parts of the smartphone. This is totally new to the Samsung world of smartphone devices.
What are the speculated specs?
The upcoming Alpha A5 is expected to come with a 5-inch display, a 3,840 x 2,160 pixel resolution, with a fully-curved screen. It's likely powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 or 810, while running on Android 5. It should also come with a 16/32/128GB of internal storage memory that can be expanded with a microSD. It may also come with a 16 or a 20-megapixel camera. The SamMobile report also suggests that the device may come with the TouchWiz interface, as in the one in Samsung's Note 4.
The Galaxy Alpha A5 might show up at the Mobile World Congress on March 2-5 next year, but let's bet that Samsung will and can push for an earlier release date.
