Samsung might be this years revelation when it comes to smartphones. Samsung Galaxy S6 is believed to have intelligent cameras and wraparound display. The company wont be releasing just one model, but two.
It seems that Samsung will be releasing two versions of Samsung Galaxy S6 smart phones, next month. The exterior of both of the phones are rumored to have full metal bodies a Samsung Exynos 7420 processor and a screen of 5.1 inches. One of the versions of Galaxy S6 is supposed to have a display that curves down the both sides of the screen while the other version should have a frontal facing display.
Last year, the company released Galaxy Note Edge, the first Samsung device owning a multiple sided screen. The Note Edge has a display of 5.6 inches and the screen stretches down towards the right side. That screen can be used for interactions with app shortcuts and notifications from a different angle.
At the beginning of this month, Samsung published by mistake on their web site, support pages for Galaxy S6 (SM-G920X) and for S6 Edge(SM-G925X). The support pages didn’t incorporate any pictures or specifications. Even so, the support pages confirmed the sources of Bloomberg that two versions of the phone will be released.
More on the hardware of the future phones, the Galaxy S6 smart phones are expected to have 3GB RAM, a camera of 20 megapixels, close to 128 GB of storage and a display of 2K. When referring to software, Samsung seems to have returned to Touch Wizz Android skin, and the apps from the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Most probable, users will be able to eliminate the software apps of Samsung, that they do not need or wish on their phones.
MORE CAMERA SPECIFICATIONS
The previous year, Samsung integrated very powerful cameras of 16 megapixels on the back and 2 megapixels on the frontal cameras for the Galaxy S5, this means that the Galaxy S6 will surely own improved camera specifications. Sources from SamMobile.com, have managed to get their hands on a prototype of Galaxy S6 and declared that it was fitted with a rear camera of 20 megapixels with optical image stabilization and a frontal camera of 5 megapixels. The backside camera would take pictures in 20MP at resolutions of (5952×3348), also 15MP (4464×3348), 11MP (3344×3344), to 8MP (3264×2448), but also 6MP (3264×1836) and 2.4MP (2048×1152).
According to SamMobile, the frontal camera should be the same as the one made for the Galaxy A series. Also, they added that Samsung is using APISs, which appeared with Android 5.0 Lollipop to attempt a “Pro” mode. This specification will allow users to choose from three focus modes, including one that is manual and can be found in apps such Manual Camera. In this manner users will manage to save RAW images and have control on the shutter speeds.
Lets not forget that, what SamMobile saw was a prototype and for the final version Samsung might have given up the 20 megapixels camera, depending on the price range and the ability to mass produce the needed quantities.
DongHoon Jang, the senior vice president of Samsung and head of the Camera R&D Group form IT&Mobile Communications, a detailed blog post regarding the progress of their smart phone cameras.
He stated that they are meticulously evaluating every single facet of the smart phone cameras by taking more than 10,000 pictures in every lighting environment possible. The same work and dedication has been put into creating the cameras to be released for the 2015 flagship model. The phones will be very intelligent and it will do all the thinking for their owners, letting them take astonishing pictures no matter what the conditions are, and worrying about nothing but pressing the shutter button.
Most likely, Samsung will present both of their new devices, at the Mobile World Congress event taking place in Barcelona, Spain, on the 1st of March. When sending the press invitations to the event in March, Samsung has given a subtle hint about wraparound screens.
