Samsung has sent out invites for a
Galaxy Unpacked 2015 event scheduled
for March 1. The pre-MWC event is
expected to see the launch of the Galaxy
S6 - the South Korean giant's flagship
smartphone for 2015 - alongside the
much-anticipated curved-display variant,
the Galaxy S Edge.
The invite certainly hints towards the
presence of a curved-display Galaxy
smartphone, with the line drawn easily
mistaken with the top-right profile of the
Galaxy Note Edge and its curved display.
Of course, despite numerous rumours
and leaks, it is not yet known whether
Samsung will put the curved display on
the Galaxy S6 itself, rather than offer a
variant.
The March 1 launch will also finally clear
the mystery of whether Samsung is the
"large partner" that decided not to use
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 SoC to
power the Galaxy S6. There have been
several reports on the subject, with some
indicating Samsung has decided to forg
the chipset due to heating issues.
Qualcomm's hints, and LG's statement
that initial samples of the Snapdragon
810 did indeed have heating issues, do
lend some credence to reports that
Samsung will be using its own Exynos
7420 chipset instead, an octa-core
offering based on the 14nm process and
coupled with 3GB of RAM.
The Samsung Galaxy S6, as per the mos
recent reports , is expected to be a metal-
clad smartphone that will not be dust or
water-resistant. It is said to pack a 5-
inch or 5.1-inch QHD Super AMOLED
display, a 20-megapixel or 16-megapixel
camera with OIS, and built-in wireless
charging. The Galaxy S6 is expected to
be made available in 32GB, 64GB, and
128GB built-in storage variants, and als
be the first smartphone to support the
as-yet-unannounced Samsung Pay NFC
based mobile payment service to rival
Apple Pay.
