Evolution

Galaxy S series smartphones made the Samsung to achieve the first position in the market and these smartphone promised to be the most superior smartphone. No doubt at the launch of Galaxy S4 the pre order rates were surprising but slowly with the launch of different manufacturer smartphone the fire of S4 is lesser brighter now. Recently launched, iPhone 5S is one of the top most leaders in the market with its 64-bit chipset, its performance is unbeatable at this time. However, in the performance Galaxy Note 3 is also reaching to the iPhone level but still no Galaxy S smartphone exists at present which can lead. So, Samsung need something and its S series is ready to come with next fire i.e. Galaxy S5 and on other hand, guess what, Samsung is already planning Galaxy S6.

There are so many people who are seeking to have S6 and looking for availability in their countries.  Samsung usually keep gap of a year between release of their major Galaxy series.

Galaxy S6 Specs and Features

As discussed above after the launch of Sony Xperia Z1 and iPhone 5S the sales of S4 are affected with really bad pace and still declining. However, on other side Samsung is climbing with next stair of its market the all new Galaxy Note 3 but the future is not so easy. Other manufacturers are also trying to bring the similar hardware devices and already there are few similar devices. Samsung has a name no doubt but people out there are getting intelligent and they are comparing every bit of a smartphone and most importantly the price & performance ratio. In just few days, Google will come with up the unbeatable price & performance ratio smartphone i.e. Google Nexus 5 whose price would be around just $299 and the performance would be matching the iPhone 5S criteria.

Where Samsung will stand in the future if things will go like this? Well, we have an answer. Galaxy S5 is going to be the first Android smartphone to be powered with 64-bit processor chipset. Firstly there were rumors S5 would be powered with next generation 16-core chipset Exynos 8000 series but not it seems like, S5 would be powered with true Octa-core Exynos chipset but the good news confirms the presence of Exynos 8000 series chipset in the Galaxy S6.

The performance of Samsung Galaxy S6 would be defined by its internal hardware that would be better than your present laptop in many aspects.

• Samsung Exynos 8000 16-core processor / Snapdragon Qualcomm 810 64-bit
• 4GB RAM
• 128GB on-board memory
• 5.2 inches Ulta High Definition display (4K) or full HD flexible display
• 21MP (Ultra Pixel Sensor) recording at 8K resolution (ready content for your 8K resolution TV)
• 3300 to 3500 mAh battery
• Android 5.0

These specifications are damn amazing if we think about 2013 but who knows, if some other manufacturers like Sony, HTC, ZTE or LG would come up with better or similar specs in 2014 so that if Samsung will launch them, then it would be indifferent.

Update: 09/02/2014- Galaxy S6 will have Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 and modem 4G LTE Advanced Cat 6?

According to the latest information, the upcoming Snapdragon 810 would be powering our next flagship Galaxy S6. If we talk about the new chipset would be coming later this year, is based on 20nm technology and has 64-bit architecture.

The features of new chipset include the modem 4G LTE that would support Advanced Cat 6. And the integrated modem is designed to be paired with the radio frequency module and supports data transfer speeds at 300 Mbit / s in the most modern frequency ranges.

To be specific Snapdragon 810 uses 4-core 64-bit processors based on ARM Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 (high performance or efficiency, depending on the specific tasks), GPU Qualcomm Adreno 430 (support 4K displays and standard OpenGL ES 3.1, hardware tessellation and geometry shaders).

And new GPU hardware would improve the efficiency by 30%. Among other features of the Snapdragon platform includes support for LPDDR4 RAM standards. Also, a good news as we were expecting 2K resolution display in our S6 flagship and yes, the new chipset has the support for 4K video at up to 30 frames / s, and has two 14-bit image processor with a capacity of 1.2 rn / s and has ability to connect an external display 4K resolution via HDMI 1.4.

New Snapdragon 810 will allow to record video of 1080p at 120 frames / second. So, let’s wait for few months to hear all this information officially.

Update ( 23rd June, 2014 ) – S6 would be the first Galaxy series phone to get Octa-Core Exynos chip.

All Samsung fans know that Galaxy S5 is something new from Samsung but it was not revolutionary as expected and similar expectations are now set to the upcoming beast Samsung Galaxy Note 4 that might appear in couple of months in the market. And no doubt this is going to delay the release date of our beast i.e. Galaxy S6. Now there seems no possibility that S6 would appear even in the end of 2014. All possibilities hint towards the 2015. However, if you are expecting Galaxy S6 just after the release of Galaxy Note 4 then you won’t be wrong. And now you can set your expectations for the release month of S6 to be either January or February 2015.

The new rumors story would not end here, there is one more interesting rumors that suggests that Samsung has prepared the true Octa-Core Exynos chip that would first appear in the Note 4 and next level of that chip would support our Galaxy S6. So, next Galaxy S series phone would definitely take the performance and specs to the next level. QHD display, 4GB RAM and amazing camera sensor might be other interesting specs that would attract lots of Samsung fans to buy it.
