The Samsung Galaxy S6 release date is speculated to happen in the first half of 2015. Speculations are rife that Samsung would also be launching a curved display variant of the Galaxy S6 called the Galaxy S6 Edge. SamMobile claims that according to information provided to them by insiders, Samsung may not launch a Edge version for the Galaxy S6.

SamMobile continues to state that instead of Galaxy S6 Edge, there might be another variant in the making but without a curved display. It is not clear how different the variant will be from the regular version of Galaxy S6.The source claims that Samsung may consider rolling out a Edge variant for Galaxy S6 later on.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 which will arrive in the coming year will be sporting a refreshed design. Since Samsung is to revamp the design of the handset from the scratch, the Galaxy S6 has been codenamed as Project Zero, states SamMobile.

Quite recently, the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S6 prototype with model number SM-G925F surfaced through AnTuTu benchmarks. It revealed that the 5.5-inch display of the handset will be supporting Quad HD resolution of 1,440 x 2,560 pixels. The Home button lying under the display will be embedded with fingerprint sensor.

The Galaxy S6 will be powered by Exynos 7420 chipset that supports 64-bit architecture. It delivers a clocking speed of up to 1.8 GHz. The chipset includes a Mali-T769 GPU. The handset will be supporting high speed internet connectivity through the LTE Cat. 10 modem. What's strange about the Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G925F is that the previous leaks revealed that it will house a 16 MP camera but the new AnTuTu benchmarks indicate that it will come with 20 MP camera.

PhoneArena claims that by predicting according to the previous release patterns of the Galaxy S series handsets, the Galaxy S6 will be unveiled around the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2015 expo that will be held in February-March. It may be followed by a release in the month of April. Samsung is yet to confirm on the Samsung Galaxy S6 release date and its rumoured specifications and features.
