Leak of Samsung Galaxy S6’s battery surfaces

With less than two weeks away from the Mobile World Congress 2015 and Samsung’s Unpacked event there, it isn’t surprising that even more leaks about the company’s next flagship has surfaced. This time, the battery of the supposed Galaxy S6 has been photographed and leaked. The image shows two battery packs carrying the model number EB-BG925ABE, which is reportedly the model number of the Galaxy S6.

As it has been previously rumoured, it is a 2600mAh battery, which is lower than the 2800mAh battery of the Galaxy S5. The Galaxy S6 will reportedly have a non-removable battery that will be compatible with wireless charging. It was also said that it will feature an all-metal design that’s why they expect it to be slim and battery must have been sacrificed for that. If there is any truth to any of these, we just have to wait until March 1 to discover the truth.

Samsung reportedly shipping Galaxy S6 with Microsoft apps

Microsoft seems to have found a way to infiltrate Android, if reports are to be believed. According to SamMobile, Samsung will reportedly carry Microsoft apps in place of most of their proprietary apps in the Galaxy S6. If there is any truth to this, you can expect to have Office, OneNote, OneDrive, and Skype built into Samsung’s next flagship. We just have to wait a bit until Samsung’s Unpacked event on March 1 to see if there is any credence to this report. But if you want to look for any signs, perhaps the abrupt end of the two companies patent royalty payments might be taken as a clue.

Support pages for Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge surface

In what can be seen as an official mention of Samsung’s upcoming flagship devices, support pages for the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge have surfaced ahead of its official debut. The South Korean tech company plans to unveil its new lineup ahead of Mobile World Congress in the coming weeks.

The Galaxy S6 (SM-G920X) and S6 Edge (SM-G925X) look to be the real deal. The rumoured specs of both devices are QHD Super AMOLED displays, 64-bit octacore Exynos 7420 processor, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. They will have a 16-megapixel rear camera that can record 4K video and it’ll run a less intrusive version of TouchWiz on top of Android 5.0 Lollipop. The main difference between the S6 and the S6 Edge is the Edge will get a curved screen to the right side of the screen to show notifications and act as a shortcut launcher, control bar, and navigation bar. We have to wait just a bit more to get confirmation about these two new devices.

Photo leak hints at 5 variants of Samsung Galaxy S6

Rumours have been circulating for a while that there would be more than one version of the Samsung Galaxy S6. But a new alleged leaked photo that CNET Korea got their hands on shows five different variants of Samsung’s upcoming flagship. The one on the far left looks like the traditional look of a Galaxy device; while the one on the far right looks similar to the Galaxy Note Edge. The second one from the right also looks like it has a curved edge screen. The other two devices come with casings. The second one to the left is protected by a Verus cover (a popular case maker in South Korea); while the one in the center seems to have a thicker case but it can’t be told if it’s also made from Verus.

Of course, these are all just rumours at the moment. But if you just wait a bit more, it is said Samsung will be unveiling its newest flagship at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on March 1.
