Samsung Galaxy S6 Release Date, Specs Rumors: What's Been Revealed So Far
Various reports, leaks, rumors and speculations have surfaced so far in the lead up to the March 1 launch of Samsung Galaxy S6. Perhaps as a way of putting some of these speculations to rest, Samsung itself has revealed some interesting "tidbits" about their next flagship phone through recent posts on the company's official blog, Samsung Tomorrow.
The first big reveal has to do with better camera capabilities for the S6. According to a report in Tech2, the blogpost, written by DongHoon Jan, Samsung's Senior Vice President and Camera Head for Research and Development, talked about how the company has "focused on improving the functionality and the quality of our smartphone cameras to provide consumers with the freedom of being able to carry just one device."
This is done through aggressive research and development and the 2015 flagship phone of Samsung is no exception. He further describes the 2015 model as follows: "It will be intelligent and do all the thinking for users, allowing them to take amazing pictures under any conditions, without having to worry about anything more than just pressing the shutter button."
Wireless charging is the second tidbit that was revealed through the Samsung Tomorrow blog. In the blogpost, Samsung's Seho Park first talks about how wireless charging or more technically known as "inductive charging" has developed throughout the years and what innovations are already available in the market, including the ones that Samsung has developed. The technology has improved enough that they have been able to double the charging speed of wireless charging. Wireless charging will mean no more cords and extra batteries for users, as well as a single charging solution for all compatible devices.
Park called 2015 as "a landmark year for smartphone wireless charging" as they are expecting that wireless charging stations will become more pervasive and readily available to the public, so they are "democratizing this wireless charging technology with more compelling smartphones."
