Samsung Galaxy S6 Specs And Review (official Thread) by megafox: 11:37pm On Feb 16, 2015
The long awaited Sammy S6 will soon hit showcase, bellow are the authentic specs.

As we approach its big unveiling on March
1, more and more details about the
Samsung Galaxy S6 are allegedly revealed.
Today it's time to take a look at the
upcoming flagship's battery capacity.
According to some information coming
from South Korea, it looks like Samsung will
only fit a 2,600 mAh cell into the Galaxy S6.
That's 200 mAh smaller than the one found
inside its predecessor, the Galaxy S5.
If true (and that's a big if), this isn't great
news. Sure, Samsung is set to use its new
Exynos 7 Octa chipset in the S6, and because
that's made on a 14nm process it should be
quite battery friendly. On the other hand,
though, the trend lately has been to increase
battery size from one generation of a
flagship smartphone to the next, not the
other way around. Even if Samsung
somehow manages to make the Galaxy S6
with a 2,600 mAh cell last as long as the
Galaxy S5 with a 2,800 mAh battery, people
might still wonder why the Korean company
thought that would be enough.
The S6's rumored metal construction and
Samsung's thinness war with Apple may
have played their part in this situation. Past
mumblings did say that the Galaxy S6 would
support wireless charging from the get-go,
so at least it will be easier to charge
throughout the day if you'll need to.
Obviously though, take this with a pinch of
salt for now. The source of this rumor goes
on to list some other specs for the Galaxy S6,
some of which don't line up with what we
previously heard. It's said that the device will
pack a 5.1-inch QHD Super AMOLED
touchscreen and 3GB of RAM - both things
that have been rumored before. But the rear
camera will apparently be a 16 MP unit with
OIS, and not the 20 MP one that's made the
rounds up until now.
