Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (LON:BC94) (KRX:005930)’s Galaxy S6 is several months away from launch. But Samsung’s habit of launching a wide range of smartphones every year offers some insight into its upcoming products. The Korean company launched Galaxy Alpha smartphone with metal casing last month. After Alpha, we noticed that Samsung took the same premium build quality to the Galaxy Note 4 announced earlier this month.
Galaxy S6 to have a classy look
Galaxy S line has always been Samsung’s flagship phone. So, it will also likely be a high-end, premium-build smartphone. The device will have a classy look. The Alpha like design will boost the Galaxy S6’s appeal. Samsung’s Galaxy S line has been widely criticized in the past due to their plastic design and “cheap” feel. However, Samsung’s SVP of product strategy, Yoon Han-kil, has already said that the company’s new flagship phones will have a “new form factor.”
But the device isn’t arriving anytime soon. The Korean electronics giant launches its new Galaxy S phones during the Mobile World Congress. So, don’t expect it to arrive before March 2, 2015, when the MWC event kicks off. Since Samsung is quite consistent with prices, it may price the Galaxy S6 close to the S5 or slightly higher, considering the metal chassis.

PCAdvisor said the Galaxy S6 will have a gorgeous 5.5-inch Super AMOLED screen with resolutions of 1440×2650 and 442ppi.
