How about with 4GB of ram:

Don't really care if it has 1tb of ram, it's a silly idea that I'm not interested in!

2GB is enough anyway, 3 or 4 is just a bonus.

main thing I want to be looking for is a bezel-less display...they have the tech now to be rid of bezels, why not do it?

It just reminds me of the marketing spiel with megapixels.

Looks like it won't be waterproof:

That S5 usb port cover won't be missed.

This is sounding like it could be a great handset, Metal frame and simplified UI. Yes please! This could put Sammy back in the game!

Was rather looking forward to IP67, not essential but would have been useful. If they add USB3 however.......

USB 3 has to be a must! Can't believe the N4 shipped without it...my N3 has awesome speeds over USB 3. I can understand them waiting for 3.1 and the unified reversible standard etc, but why wait?

Happy there's no waterproofing. Means there's no associated flappy bits.

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.

Huge +1 for a removable battery ....

 

[kona786]

With fast charging and 2 year turnaround, I'm happy with a sealed battery.

Though I can see how others would disagree.

To be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress early March:

I hope this is true, getting fed up of there being 2 versions of the same phone. Really wish Samsung would go full Exynos and stay Exynos, pretty boring when everyone uses the same SoC .

No flap!

Now put the audio jack at the bottom, cant stand it at the top.
They did this recently with the A7 so maybe the S6 will get the same treatment.

Was also causing issues with heat as the device had problems dispensing it.

Why? Never understood why anyone would want this ^^

Agreed as long as they get it right.

Looks like the S6 is getting over hyped again, same happened for the S5 when it was officially shown everybody was disappointing with it's specs & design.

If Samsung get the S6 right this time, then they be back on top.

Cable doesn't hang out over the top and get in the way.
Its just better at the bottom. G3 & M8 got it right.

You can test this by turning your device upside down with a cable in. See the difference?

Also when you pull it out of your pocket it will be the correct way, no need to flip it around.

The BGR specs better not be true. Quad HD with 2550mAh battery.

Will have terrible battery life. The PPI race is getting a bit silly now as well.
