Samsung's Galaxy S6 will be one of the most important announcements at the Mobile World Congress trade show, and Samsung has been busy teasing out possible details of the new flagship handset, including a new logo.
The new logo looks like a lightning bolt with a line under it. Does it refer to quick-charging? Processor speed? It's anyone's guess.
The latest image teasers include the phrases "Stop Less. Discover More" and "Get more done. Get more time." In the video teaser (below), the company says, "The faster I am, the more that gets done and the more time I can give to others. I am TheNextGalaxy."
I am #TheNextGalaxy. See how I give more time to others at #Unpacked.

This might all be a reference to the new processor Samsung announced yesterday, the Exynos 7 Octa. The Exynos 7 Octa is the first 14nm processor, which may offer power savings compared to 20nm processors like the competing Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 - thus, "get more time."
While Qualcomm has tacitly warned that the Snapdragon 810 may not be in Samsung's new flagship, I'd still be amazed if Samsung goes to its own Exynos processor for the U.S. models of the Galaxy S6. Even though Samsung has released Exynos-based flagship phones outside the U.S. before, U.S. carriers have never accepted one into their lineups.
Samsung has been leaking out Galaxy S6 information in little bits for a while now. Yesterday, a blog post suggested that the Galaxy S6 would have wireless charging. Last week, the big buzz was that the phone would have a display that slopes down on both sides, like an ambidextrous version of the Galaxy Note Edge. The original event invite suggested a phone with a curved screen.
