Report: Samsung Galaxy S6 to be unveiled next month with 2 variants and smartwatch
Talk about the Samsung Galaxy S6 (and Edge) at AndroidForums.com!
Not that we didn’t already hear murmurings of Samsung’s plans for Mobile World Congress, but another report suggests Samsung will look to bring more than just one big device to the show. Alongside the metal-built Samsung Galaxy S6 we’re expecting, Samsung is also expected to introduce a version of the Samsung Galaxy S6 with a curved display, ala the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge.
If you haven’t read our Note Edge review, that device uses the curved portion of the display to independently show notifications, information and mini apps that the user can use alongside the main viewing area of the display. It’s a bit of a novelty feature right now, but it’s something Samsung seems committed to testing to see if there’s a real market interest for it.
Alongside the phones, they will also reportedly be toting a smart watch. While today’s report doesn’t suggest any details about that watch in particular, a rumor from last week says to expect Samsung’s first circular smart watch.
Unfortunately that report also told us to expect Tizen instead of Android Wear, so unless you own a Samsung phone and don’t mind using Samsung’s operating system instead of Google’s then it probably won’t be the most exciting announcement. Regardless, it’ll all be very interesting and you can bet we’ll be tuned in once all the mobile tech giants converge on Berlin next month.
