The Samsung Galaxy S5 was the hottest smartphone of 2014, selling over 12 million units in its first three months of being released. It’s a beautiful, brilliant device that delivers the perfect blend of performance and style. But one of the key features that makes Samsung’s flagship handset such an attractive choice may not be included in the Galaxy S6. According to the South Korean news site Digital Daily, the upcoming Galaxy S6 will not be dust/waterproof. Samsung went out of its way to make the Galaxy S5 resistant to dust and water, giving it an International Protection Marking of 6/7. This means it’s fully protected against the ingress of dust and protected against the effects of immersion between 15cm and 1m. There’s no faster way to ruin your day than by dropping your smartphone in a puddle of water — something that far too many of us have experienced in our lives. Samsung acknowledged this issue, choosing to make all of its Galaxy S5 standard-edition units waterproof. If you accidentally expose your Galaxy S5 to dust or water, you can rest assured knowing that it’s protected. Many consumers have purchased the Galaxy S5 specifically for this reason. This begs…

With the annual Mobile World Congress less than two months away, consumers and tech professionals alike are eager to see what new devices Samsung will unveil. Last year, the South Korean company announced the Galaxy S5 at the event. While there’s been no confirmation from Samsung, reports suggest it will unveil the next-generation Galaxy smartphone at the 2015 Mobile World Congress. Given the popularity of the Galaxy S5, it’s hard to fathom how Samsung plans to create an even better smartphone. However, rumors are beginning to pop up left and right, suggesting the upcoming Galaxy S6 features some surprisingly powerful components. As most loyal Samsung users already know, the Galaxy S5 featured 2GB RAM. This wasn’t the most memory used in a 2014 smartphone (Google Nexus 6 and several others used 3GB), but it serves its purpose just fine. According to a report published by the Italian news site Webtrek, the upcoming Galaxy S6 will feature not 2GB, not 3GB, but a mind-blowing 4GB of memory. Assuming this information is correct, the Galaxy S6 will boast the most RAM of any smartphone on the market. It’s important to note that this could be region-specific, meaning only certain Galaxy S6 units…

With 2015 right around the corner, many analysts are predicting a new Galaxy S6 smartphone is in the works. Samsung typically releases a new flagship device about once every year, meaning we’ll probably see one within the next 6 months. However, rumors suggest that it may have lower specs than the current Galaxy S5. According to SamMobile, the upcoming Galaxy S6 will feature a new and improved qHD display with 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution, 15.9-megapixel camera, octa-core 64-bit processor (unknown origin), 3GB RAM, and Android 5.0 Lollipop. These specs certainly sound nice, but other sources claim this information is false. An AnTuTu benchmark posted on the Chinese website CNMO reveals the Galaxy S6 with a 5.5-inch display at 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution, powered by Exynos 7420 processor, and Android 5.0 Lollipop. Assuming the latter is true, fans could be disappointed by the Galaxy S6’s marginally improved specs. The Galaxy S5 was a monumental improvement from the S4, featuring a superior processor, better camera, and most importantly IP6/7 dust and water resistant technology. These powerhouse combination ultimately resulted in one of the best selling smartphones of all times, even if Samsung overshot its sales expectations by producing too many…

Given the widespread success of the Galaxy S5, it’s no secret that Samsung is already working on a successor behind the curtains. The South Korean-based tech company typically releases a new flagship smartphone about once a year, meaning we’ll likely see the Galaxy S6 on retail shelves by Q2 2015. But how exactly is Samsung going to improve on a device that’s already touted as one of the best smartphones on the market? Curved Screen While Samsung has yet to confirm any rumors regarding its upcoming Galaxy S6, Jerry Kang of IHD Technology said it will feature a dual-edged screen with curvature on both the right and left sides. Kang also said that Samsung had originally planned to use this same design for the Note Edge, but it ultimately scrapped the idea in favor of a single-side curved display. “The Galaxy S6 to be released next year will feature a ‘dual-edged’ screen which is curved on the right and left sides,” said IHD Technology senior analyst Jerry Kang. “The dual edge is expected to be beneficial for Samsung Display, the main display supplier for the smartphone-maker, as larger displays bring more profit.” Processor There are a few different possible scenarios…

It’s been just over 6 months since Samsung released its Galaxy S5 flagship smartphone, but new reports suggest the company is already working on its successor. This news comes just weeks after Samsung released the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge, leaving some people to speculate if The Next Big Thing will be the Galaxy 6. According to SamMobile, Samsung is in fact working on a new Galaxy smartphone, but it’s not being called the Galaxy S6 (at least for now). Sources close to the development team say it’s being called Project Zero. As SamMobile points out, this is the first time Samsung has opted for such a unique codename for its devices. Previous flagship devices were given generic names, such as Project J (Galaxy S4), Project H (Galaxy Note 3), Project K (Galaxy S5) and Project T (Galaxy Note 4). Why is Samsung taking such a different approach with the Galaxy S5’s successor? Being that Samsung has yet to confirm nor deny the project, we really don’t know why it chose the codename Project Zero for the Galaxy S5’s successor. With that said, SamMobile claims its sources told them the project name is a reflection of the device’s…
