A sealed polymer battery...

The Korea Times:

One major change is the use of new-generation lithium-polymer battery in the S6, which is smaller and runs cooler.

"Batteries will be embedded in S6 as Samsung is putting more focus on strengthening the safety of batteries by replacing the flammable liquid electrolytes of conventional lithium-ion cells with improved polymer electrolyte cells, which are non-flammable and non-volatile," another source who is familiar with the issue said.

I'm currently using an iPhone 5 and my contract ceases in April, but I can upgrade from Feb 15th. Thinking of holding off for this, as opposed to going for the Z3, G3 or iPhone 6 now.

I like android, mainly due to the customisation and the fact it isn't locked down like iOS. I'm also a tad bored of iOS, jumping to a 6 won't really feel like an upgrade.

My previous phone was the S2; I didn't like the plastic shell as the phone felt a bit tacky and cheap as opposed to a premium product. The S6 however looks to address that problem?

Simply put, is it worth holding out for the S6 or just jumping the gun to one of the other flagship android phones currently available?

My only other issue is size, if this turns out to be 5.5" it's simply too big. What are the leaks pointing towards?

If you want the best available then you'll wait for this years flagships.

Plenty of this have improved a year on...OIS, fast chargers, better battery life, more potent SoC's for the increased res etc. Better build and software. 64bit.

If the S6 is announced 1/3 when is it likely to be released?
 
My guess is sometime in April. But who knows...could be a lot sooner if their feeling aggressive.

And 5-5.2" for the screen size.
