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.
