Samsung rumors, release date: Galaxy S6 will be made of metal

Recent leaks have revealed that Samsung Galaxy S6 will be a metal-clad smartphone with curved display and heart rate sensors.

The unveiling of the Galaxy S5 successor is expected to happen during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona on March 2-5, 2015. Since Galaxy S2 in 2011, this has been Samsung's launch pad for new flagship smartphones. Market availability is anticipated a few weeks after MWC.

According to Mirror UK, the number one smartphone manufacturer in the world is going for a pocket-sized 5.2-inch display, which is the same league as the HTC Desire Eye.

Pundits believe that it is high time for Samsung to introduce real innovations into their flagship phones that are considered the standard bearer of Android-powered devices.

According to a recent Yahoo! report, Samsung is building the Galaxy brand from scratch. Rumors have it that the project is codenamed "Project Zero". Apparently, they are not happy with how things are going for the S series as sales and consumer interest have dwindled.

This year, Samsung answered Apple's iPhone 6 models with Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Samsung Galaxy Edge. Unlike previous years, the South Korean smartphone makers fell short before the warm worldwide reception of the new iPhones.

Apple's iPhone 6 easily swept the mobile landscape and became the most popular gadget of 2014.

Samsung has yet to confirm anything at the moment. The only project that is certain now is the Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition, which was launched in the United States early December.

Aside from the problem-solving they need to work on to topple competition in the smartphone market, Samsung will have to ensure that they have a strong bet in the booming wearables industry. Apple is set to unwrap Apple Watch early this year.
