Samsung Galaxy S6 to have a curved screen?

As Samsung’s newest flagship is set to be announced soon, rumors have been floating around that the Korean giant is creating the successor to the Galaxy S5 in two variations, one of which has a curved screen.

The curved-screen variant of the new flagship is reported to be similar to the Galaxy Note Edge smartphone released last year. We all know that the Note Edge’s curved screen functions independently as a placeholder for quick shortcuts and on-screen actions available on the device.

Another variation is set to be made with an all-metal unibody, which might be similar to its Galaxy Alpha and A-series smartphones. This is a huge departure from its current polycarbonate plastic design language that paved the way for the success of its former banner devices such as the Galaxy S3.

Last December, an AnTuTu benchmark of a G925F device sporting 3GB of RAM, a 5.5-inch display with a QHD resolution similar to the LG G3, 32GB of internal storage made the rounds on tech cyberspace. (READ MORE: Is Samsung G925F the new Galaxy S6?)

Samsung is definitely taking a different approach to its flagship devices after decreasing sales and reported losses in 2014, the first in three years. We shall see with that, as the company is set to announce the new flagship at Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress in March.

2015 may very well be the year of 4GB smartphones, at least that’s what the rumor mill seems to be pointing out with the recent leak of the Sony Xperia Z3X and now the speculation around the Samsung Galaxy S6 which, judging by their recent announcement, could be the first smartphone to launch with 4GB of RAM.

The speculation arose when Samsung announced that the mass production of industry’s first low-power double-data rate 4 (LPDDR4) mobile dynamic random access memory (DRAM) with 8GB capacity which is based on the company’s 20nm process.

According to Samsung, their new LPDDR4 DRAM will be two-times faster than a “typical DDR3 RAM” for PC and, in the case of the 2GB package, is expected to be 40% more power efficient than its LPDDR3 counterpart.

Furthermore, the South Korean giant stated that apart from lowering the operating voltage to 1.1V, the company’s new 8GB LPDDR4 DRAMs can support Ultra-High Definition video recording and playback, not to mention continuous shooting of 20MP+ pictures.

Although Samsung hasn’t really confirmed that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 (and most likely the Galaxy Note 5 too) will sport the next-generation DRAM, I think that we can all agree that the tech giant will not allow their two franchise centerpieces to be left behind in the specs race, especially since they’ve openly announced that they’s started providing LPDDR4 modules to other device manufacturers starting this month.
