Everything you need to know about the Samsung
Galaxy S6
With the 2014 smartphone race drawing to a close,
the Samsung Galaxy S6 release date has become the
next big talking point on the tech calendar.
The iPhone 6 rival is expected to touch down in early
2015, with latest Samsung Galaxy S6 rumours
suggesting the handset could pair an all new design with
a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, high-speed
storage and Google’s Android 5.0 Lollipop OS direct
from the box.
Having leaked under the codename ‘Project Zero’, it is
expected the Galaxy S6 will be a substantial refresh
over the Galaxy S5 – a handset which has failed to
ignite substantial consumer interest.
The S6’s screen is one such area expected to be given a
sizeable update.
With the LG G3 having introduced the 2560 x 1440p
QHD display to the mainstream smartphone space this
year – a feature also bestowed on the Galaxy Note 4 –
recent S6 leaks have pointed to the handset making the
jump to a QHD panel.
That is not all the phone’s screen could have to offer. It
has been suggested a Galaxy Note Edge mimicking
double-edged display could also be heading towards the
Galaxy S6.
While some reports are farfetched and others more
likely, what is almost certain is that the Samsung
Galaxy S6 will be unveiled in Q1 2015 as a direct rival
to the Nexus 6, remaining consistent with previous
launches.
What’s more, with both the Samsung Galaxy Alpha
and Galaxy Note 4 having bestowed with metal-framed
designs recently, it is now widely expected that next
year's Galaxy S6 release will echo its siblings and adopt
its own premium materials.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Release Date
As you would expect, Samsung has yet to offer any
official details on the distant Samsung Galaxy S6
release date. That doesn’t mean we don’t have a good
idea as to when the phone will launch, however.
Like Apple, Samsung has become a creature of habit,
with the company’s annual product cycles bringing a level
of expectation to certain points in the year. For
example, September and the Berlin-based IFA
conference means a new Note.
Since the Samsung Galaxy S2 , the Korean
manufacturer’s flagship phone line has been reserved for
unveiling during – or within weeks of – the Barcelona-
based Mobile Word Congress conference in February.
As such there is no reason to believe this will be
different for the S6.
With MWC 2015 to be held between March 2 and 5,
we would anticipate that the Samsung Galaxy S6
release date could be confirmed during the
manufacturer’s dedicated press conference on either
Sunday 1 or Monday 2 March.
This tradition could be thrown off by falling profits,
however. With Samsung predicting a 60 per cent drop
in annual earnings, analysts have suggested the S6
release could be pushed forward in order to stem the
rot.
“Samsung’s profits in the mobile division will continue to
deteriorate during this period of changing their line of
smartphones,” Lee Min-hee, an analyst at IM
Investment and Securities, told The New York Times.
Speaking with Bloomberg, Claire Kim, an analyst with
Daishin Securities Co in Samsung's native Korea
added: “We all know Samsung’s third-quarter earnings
will be pretty ugly. The earlier release of its new phones
could be reflected in its third-quarter earnings, it could
give them a slight boost.”
We will of course update this post as soon as more
concrete Samsung Galaxy S6 release date details are
available.
