Samsung Galaxy S6 is just a few weeks away from launch and we have already seen more than a dozen related leaks. The latest comes from Bloomberg, that confirms that the Samsung Galaxy S6 will be launched in two variants, both of them sporting all-metal body.

"Both phones will have all-metal bodies and use Samsung's most advanced processor chips, the people said, asking not to be identified because the details haven't been released. The second model to be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Spain will only have a front-facing display, the people said. Both phones will have 5.1-inch screens, one of the people said," Bloomberg reported.

Another report from SamMobile claims of Samsung Galaxy S6 camera going pro. Reportedly, it might sport 20MP snapper with new features.

"This particular prototype was fitted with a 20-megapixel rear camera (with optical image stabilization) and a 5-megapixel front camera; both sensors are made by Samsung (model numbers SLSI_S5K2T2_FIMC_IC and SLSI_S5K4E6_FIMC_IS). The rear camera will take photos in 20MP (5952×3348), 15MP (4464×3348), 11MP (3344×3344), 8MP (3264×2448), 6MP (3264×1836) and 2.4MP (2048×1152) resolution. The front-facing camera, meanwhile, is the same as the one found on the Galaxy A series," notes SamMobile.

The Verge claims to have spotted the Samsung Galaxy S6 design supposedly leaked by case manufacturers. The photos of Samsung Galaxy S6 were posted by case manufacturer on Weibo. However, it notes: "case companies are locked in a never-ending race to be first with some $10 product on Amazon; that rush also means their guesses are frequently wrong."
