Now that Samsung has released all its flagship handsets for this year, we can turn our attention to what's on tap in 2015; namely, the Galaxy S6.
According to Sammobile, Samsung is currently in the early stages of developing the S6, codenamed "Project Zero." In the past, the Korean tech gaint has always used generic letters as codenames for its flagship devices: the Galaxy S4 was "Project J," the Galaxy Note 3 was "Project H," and the Galaxy S5 was "Project K," for example
The fancy new codename may suggest that Samsung is giving the S6 special treatment. Sammobile's sources claim that Samsung is "probably" developing the S6 from the ground up "with an entirely new vision."
Note that there were rumors that the Galaxy S5 would be built from scratch, too, but as it turns out, the phone was not much different than its predecessor, the S4. But that was before Samsung started losing ground to its mobile rivals, namely Apple and its new iPhone 6 lineup.
What type of things can we expect from the S6? Sammobile outed some rumored specs, including a Quad HD display with a resolution of 2,560-by-1,440 and the same IMX240 camera sensor used on the Note 4. There's no word on the screen size, and Samsung is reportedly still working out whether it wants to give the thing a 16-megapixel or 20-megapixel camera, though the former is more likely.
The front camera will get a bump up to 5 megapixels and Samsung is reportedly planning to drop the 16GB storage option in favor of 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB capacities, Sammobile said. The company is also prepping a Snapdragon 810 model in addition to an Exynos-equipped version packing a new Exynos 7420, a fully 64-bit chip with eight processor cores.
Other specs include Google's new Android 5.0 Lollipop mobile OS, 3GB of RAM, and a new LTE modem Samsung has designed itself.
