Samsung Galaxy S6 teaser - the hype is real...i think samsung has got a new design now..



Ever since Samsung's Korean rival, LG, reignited the mobile specs race by bestowing the lg g3 with a 2560 x 1440p QHD display, it has been suggested the S6 will follow suit. Adding further backing to these claims, last September Samsung fitted the galaxy note 4 with its own 2K panel.

That is not all the goodies the handset's display could have to offer, either. It has been suggested a galaxy note edge mimicking double-edged display could also be heading towards at least one of the two Galaxy S6 models mooted for release - namely the Galaxy S6 Edge.

On top of this, with recent Samsung Galaxy S6 rumours have suggested the handset could pair an all new, premium design - set to be available in four colours - with an Octa-core processor, high-speed storage and Google’s android 5.0 OS direct from the box, the handset is shaping up to be a true powerhouse of the smartphone scene.

While some reports are farfetched and others more likely, what is almost certain is that the Samsung Galaxy S6 will be unveiled in in the coming weeks 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.

The whole point of Project Ara is to allow users to swap out different modules to upgrade their phones as they see fit. Maybe you purchase the device with a smaller battery and a 5-megapixel camera to keep the initial costs down, for example, but then realize a few months later that you’d rather have a larger battery and a bigger camera. When you have the funds, you jump onto Google’s marketplace and purchase the new parts. If all goes as planned, that’s as seamless as the experience is designed to be. Now, we’re getting a look at some of the first swappable camera modules.
The modules were developed by Toshiba and include three different options, including a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, a 5-megapixel camera for the back of the phone, and a 13-megapixel camera. The 13-megapixel shooter appears to have another sensor on board that looks similar to what Samsung uses for its heart-rate monitor, but we aren’t quite sure what it’s used for in this instance.
Google has denied rumors that it’s going to be showing off as many as 50 Project Ara modules at Mobile World Congress next month, but it’s possible the company will be there to meet with manufacturers that are developing modules. This is just one company – Toshiba – that has developed some of the first swappable parts, and we expect many more to follow suit at Google nears its beta launch in Puerto Rico.
