THE GALAXY S6 was unveiled at this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC), a smartphone that Samsung has designed from the ground up in a bid to turn around its fortunes.
The Galaxy S6, which was launched alongside the Galaxy S6 Edge, features a redesigned metal and glass casing, a 5.1in QHD screen and a stripped-back version of Samsung's TouchWiz UI, which the firm is no doubt hoping will help it woo buyers away from the likes of the iPhone 6 and HTC One M9.

Release date

Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy S6 will be available in 20 countries, including the UK and the US, from 10 April.
