User agent profile confirms QHD display for Samsung Galaxy S6

The User Agent Profile for a SM-G920A has been found confirming some of the details we're keen to know about the device, prior to launch. We didn't really expect anything different but the UAProf confirms the 1440x2560px (QHD) screen resolution of the device.

No surprise, fingers crossed it comes with a decent battery and optimisation.
 
QHD has a much smaller drain on OLED than it does on LCD. A direct result of not needing a backlight.

Note 4 has superb stamina, so I bet this will too. And so did the QHD S5.
 
Thing are picking up.

The Galaxy S6 to use a non-swipe fingerprint sensor

Fingerprint sensors finally gained popularity on smartphones, but the experience isn’t always prefect. Some companies, like Samsung, used the swipe type of sensor where you had to swipe your thumb (or other finger) over the Home button, which wasn’t always easy to do while holding a 5+ inch slab.
Insiders claim that the company will be moving to the other kind of sensor – one that reads your fingerprint from your stationary digit. You just place your finger (at any angle) and hold it for a moment, that's how it works on the iPhones and the Huawei Ascend Mate 7.

To accommodate the new sensor, Samsung has made the Home key on the upcoming Galaxy S6 bigger. It's not clear if it will work while the screen is off (like on the Ascend Mate 7) or not (like on the iPhones).
The sensor will still offer the extensive TouchWiz functionality, including Private mode, Pay with PayPal, as well as signing into Samsung Account and supported websites.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 will use a new TouchWiz software and may come in two versions – regular and Edge. The regular one will pack a QHD screen, the dual-sided Edge screen will be a bit above that.

Never a fan of the finger print implementation on the GS5, it felt like them playing catchup to Apple. Good news :)
 
I won't be getting an S6 as I have a Note 4 but if it's true that they plan on using a full metal chassis then that would put me off getting one. The removable battery is a cool feature and I don't think the Note 4 suffers at all in build quality with its removable back.

Tend to agree a little, I have just ordered a new battery for my GS4 because it drains/charges too quickly. Not being able to do with would be a tad annoying.
