Rumor Claims Samsung's Galaxy S6 Will Be Redesigned 'From Scratch'

For most of us, the Galaxy S5 was year's biggest disappointment, at least in terms of design. If Samsung wants to retain its customer base, it needs to shake some things up and recreate the magic it had once with the Galaxy SIII and the Galaxy S4.

According to rumors, Samsung is taking its next flagship seriously and plans to redesign it from scratch. The Galaxy s6 will not be just an upgrade in specs as the company has gone "back to the drawing board" for the new phone.

The project has been code-named "Project Zero."

SamMobile reported that Galaxy S6 will be accompanied by another device called the Galaxy S6 Edge, which will feature the same kind of curved display as the one we saw this fall with the launch of the Galaxy Note Edge.

Samsung is expected to launch both the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge alongside each other.

SamMobile also noted that the Galaxy S6 is tentatively set to have a display with a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels, either a 64-bit Exynos 7420 or Snapdragon 810 processor and a rear-facing camera with a resolution anywhere between 16 and 20 megapixels.

However, it is always wise to take rumors with a pinch of salt. The Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge are expected to be unveiled at Mobile World Congress in March 2015.
