Samsung Galaxy S6 to be Announced in the First Week of January 2015

It looks like Samsung is getting ready to launch its newest flagship phone sooner than expected. Previous reports suggest that the S6 will be launched in March at the World Mobile Congress. However, analysts from Mira Asset Securities believe that the new smartphone could be introduced at next month's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, which will be held from Jan. 6 to 9.

A Dutch website claims to have leaked images of the Samsung Galaxy S6, and according to toptienmobile.nl, the upcoming Samsung flagship phone will bear some similarities to the iPhone 6.

"A striking feature of the prototype are the thin left and right edges of the screen, and the displacement of the front facing camera toward the center of the top," the website said.

Meanwhile, a leak which came from reports in China where the phone has allegedly been benchmarked using the AnTuTu app reveals the phone's unconfirmed features. The leak suggests that the handset will have a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440.

The S6 is also said to be powered by a 64-bit octa core Exynos processor and 3GB of RAM. The smartphone is rumored to have 32GB of internal storage, a 20 megapixel rear-facing camera, and a 5 MP front-facing camera. It is also expected to run on the Android 5.0 Lollipop rather than Android 4.4 KitKat.

As for the Samsung Galaxy S6's release date, it is predicted that the handset could be released on April 2015, as previous Samsung release dates were also scheduled on an April. It can be recalled that the S4 was launched in April 2013, while the S5 was released in April 2014.
