(Telecompaper) Samsung Electronics presented at Mobile World Congress its latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S6. The premium unibody design sports a metal frame and Corning's Gorilla Glass 4, with a 5.1-inch Super Amoled display. While the display is the same size as its predecessor, the S5, the resolution is 1.8 times higher at 1440 x 2560 pixels. As expected, the S6 runs Samsung's own Exynos 7 64-bit processor, which combines a low-power 1.5 GHz quad core with a faster 2.1 GHz quad-core processor. The Android 5.0 phone comes with 3 GB RAM and will be available in a choice of 32, 64 or 128 GB internal storage. The Galaxy S6's back camera offers 16 megapixels and the addition of optical image stabilisation, and it also has a 5 megapixel front camera. In addition, the S6 comes with an improved fingerprint scanner, LTE CAt.6 at up to 300Mbps, 2,600 mAh non-removable battery, WPC and PMA wireless charging, and support for Samsung's new mobile payments service, launching in the US later this year. The phone will launch 10 April in a choice of white, black, gold and blue models. The alternative Galaxy S6 Edge will also be available in green. This version of the S6 features a display that curves along both edges of the phone. Its specifications are otherwise the same as the standard S6.
