Leaked: Samsung Galaxy S6 to sport metal shell

The Galaxy S6, the next flagship from Samsung Electronics, will sport a metal shell

Samsung Galaxy S6, the next flagship smartphone is said to be unveiled somewhere between February and April by the Korean tech giant. However, information about the device is been leaked out in phases and this time it is about the chassis again.

According to few leaked imaged by Nowhereelse.fr, the Samsung Galaxy S6 will allegedly be built using an aluminium shell. After preferring plastic as the main frame for most of the smartphones, Samsung seems to be upscaling their flagships with metal, post the success of the A series smartphones.

A few rumours speculated that Samsung will not restrict the aluminium use to just the inner frame for stability, but will extend the same to the rear in a unibody shell. The source finally got a positive confirmation about the same with pictures sent back by their informers.

The few pictures shown below (courtesy www.nowhereelse.fr) are the aluminium chassis for a future Samsung smartphone in three different stages of polishing and finishing. However, speculations state that the future smartphone from Samsung would definitely be the Galaxy S6 and the images below are from the same handset.

The last image also reveals that the camera and the LED flash could now take up the right and left sides of the smartphone, as compared to earlier models, which sported the camera and flash in the centre of the rear panel.

The curved frame also suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S6 would sport a curved display, as leaked out by an earlier report. The report stated that the Samsung Galaxy S6 would come in three variants—regular, curved display and edge display.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is said to sport a 5.5-inch display with a QHD resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, an 8-core Exynos 7420 chipset with 3GB of RAM and a MALI-T760 graphics chip. The rear camera is said to be a 16MP or a 20MP.
