Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge alleged official press photos surface

Samsung has got all eyes on its upcoming Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, but just days before the official event some huge leaks seem to have spoiled the surprise. Adding insult to the injury, we're now seeing what are allegedly the official press renders of the Galaxy S6 Edge appear on CNET Korea.

The Galaxy S6 Edge images below give an elaborate illustration to all of the leaks and rumors, showing the very slight curve of the screen that the phone has (much narrower of a curve than what's on the Note Edge, for instance).

We also get to see the whole bulk of that protruding main camera, and it's quite something. Hopefully, this added bulk translates into an equally huge boost in image quality.

The rest is what we've all seen already, but in a cleaner, sharper images: there's a larger home key that is said to feature a new touch (rather than swipe) fingerprint sensor, and the Galaxy S6 Edge also keeps the heart sensor of its predecessor. Take a look at all of these alleged official S6 Edge press photos below.

The design is mediocre at best, Very gimicky.. The note 4 supposed to be a great device but very few people bought it..The s6 will have the same fate. People have had terrible experiences with samsung . they won't give to samsung a second chance..

How many people bought the Note 4? Why does Samsung lead in Consumer Reports customer satisfaction rankings with all of those terrible experiences?

In the big scheme of things the Note 4 didn't sell that well. But considering it's a Phablet for power-users and they sold 5+ million units, I wouldn't exactly classify that as "very few people". It's not even Samsung's main flagship device either. I do have a good feeling about the S6 though. I might even buy the Edge JUST for the alarm clock feature...cause I can. It will be the same as people who spend $1100 on an iPhone with 128gb and then put 2gb of music on it and use it for texting and emails. ;)

Shut up Troll. I am an apple user too but respect the opponent. You dont need to be showing your jealousy over this phone. You most likely will end up buying it i bet you. Admit Samsung is innovating at least. How far the Ios came since they released Iphone? No innovation. They release new icons then say its new ios. Hahaha.. Lol..I am laughing at this because i am using an iphone. Only reason i went back to iphone was build quality and camera. Now Samsung and Htc fixed this. Back to android soon. Dont want to stay dumb and prisoned like isheeps. I had enuf being a sheep. Lol.

well that's me, i don't like big bezel if those photo were true then S6 is no exception. Innovative design yet it's need to be polished, i think Note 5 will perfecting what has been started by S6. But i'll rather wait till tommorow for the conclution.

The bezels are bigger in the Note Edge than in the Note 4 ... so we'll be expecting smaller ones in the S6 too! Just saying!

The protrusion most likely protects the Camera and Rear. The protrusion will create a lift at the edge of the camera. Whereas having a flat rear will cause much more damage to the camera and rear panel when laid out flat on a surface. The front is also protected by having a home button that will create a lift... this is not rocket science.....
