La Samsung's mobile division is not going through its best moment. The manufacturer is losing market share worryingly. The Samsung Galaxy S5 sales are not being as expected and the Seoul-based company it has been forced to reduce its bulky catalog of devices.
We know that Samsung is already working on it Samsung Galaxy S6, under the name Project Zero. This new smartphone aims to be a booster for the company, with a very complicated mission: to return to the top. For this, he has to dazzle the public and the press. seeing the latest rumors, if they are finally fulfilled, Samsung is going to do something we have missed for a few years: innovate.
A totally renewed design
The press has not hesitated harshly criticize Samsung for the design of its Galaxy range. On the one hand we have the use of plastic, a cheap material that does not suit the price of its flagship. Considering the success of the HTC One M7 with its aluminum casing, the Korean manufacturer should have made a move. But he remained subscribed to polycarbonate until the arrival of the Galaxy Alfa, the first member of the Galaxy A range.
In this case it seems that Samsung has finally realized its mistake and the next Samsung Galaxy S6 will have a metal body. It probably has plastic parts, like the Note 4, but the aluminum will give it that premium touch that you like so much in the Korean phablet.
Returning to the name "project zero", it seems that yes They will start from scratch with the design of the S6. The previous devices in the Galaxy range looked too similar, and it seems that Samsung is developing an entirely new style for its next flagship. Will we finally see a Samsung Galaxy S6 with a curved screen like the Note Edge?
Exceptional performance
The high-end Samsung usually stands out for its technical characteristics, although the Galaxy S5 disappointed with its display. The 5.1-inch Super AMOLEd panel was 1080p and, although the difference visually is minimal or zero, many expected a Quad HD display.
Luckily the manufacturer has managed to improve its AMOLED panels, as you can see in the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with its 2K screen. The Galaxy S6 is expected to integrate a AMOLED panel between 5.1 and 5.5 inches with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels.
Rumors suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S6 will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor in its European version, in addition to having another model that will work with a Samsung Exynos 7420 SoC. Both devices have 4 Cortex A53 cores and four A57 cores, so they will be true beasts. Not to mention its Adreno 430 GPU, which will delight gamers.
Note that the internal storage of the Samsung Galaxy S6 will double compared to its predecessor, going to 32 GB. Another aspect that is finally improving.
Samsung will once again rely on Sony for the lens of the Samsung Galaxy S6
The Samsung Galaxy S5 camera sinned by lacking optical image stabilization. With the Note 4 they solved this problem by using a sensor again Sony Exmor IMX240 and it seems that with the Samsung Galaxy S6 they will turn to the Japanese manufacturer again.
In this way, the next workhorse in the Galaxy range is expected to integrate a 16 or 20 megapixel main camera made by Sony, synonymous with quality. Another interesting detail will be its front camera, which will have 5 megapixels. It was about time Samsung, it was about time ...
New surprises with the TouchWiz interface?
The custom layer TouchWiz it has been a source of controversy for many years. An interface rich in features but that reduced the performance of the devices, no matter how powerful they were.
Samsung you will not neglect your custom cape, and although we have been able to see that the manufacturer is getting that run more and more smoothly on Android 5.0 Lollipop, it is very likely that they are preparing a new improved interface for the Samsung Galaxy S6.
But the big bomb comes with the new application called "themes" or themes. This new option will allow you to fully customize the appearance of the phone adapting it to the taste of each user, being able to modify the animations. We will see if TouchWiz ends up being an interface open to developers, which would be really interesting since it would greatly expand the possibilities of its custom layer.
A battery optimized to support hardware without problems
We do not know the size of the battery of the S6, but we do know that Samsung will use a new chip, the BCM4773 Broadcomm model that integrates various functions, such as GPS, Wi-Fi connection data and Bluetooth. By doing all these processes on a single chip, it would reduce battery consumption. This may mean that Samsung could reach the level of Sony, offering a terminal with a higher autonomy seen so far in the manufacturer's products.
All this data is based on rumors so we cannot confirm any information. Although you already know that most leaks about Samsung terminals end up being fulfilled and considering that Samsung needs a change, "project Zero" makes a clear reference to starting over, I see more than likely that all this information is true.
What would you think of the Samsung Galaxy S6 if these expectations were met? Will you manage to innovate and win back all those disappointed users with your latest products?
