Samsung: Galaxy S6 to be an 'innovative premium handset,' concept renders try to envision it

After the purported Galaxy S6 prototypes we showed you earlier, now a more polished look has been created in the form of concept renders, alluding to what Samsung's upcoming flagship might look like, based on the company's recent design trend with the Alpha, A-series, and the Note 4.
Interestingly enough, Korean media is abuzz today with Samsung’s head of IR, Rober Yi, saying during an earnings call that the company will be releasing an “innovative premium handset” with a “special function”. We don't know about that mysterious function, but if the prototypes with aluminum side rim we showed you earlier are any indication, he might mean that the S6 is indeed coming with a more premium metal-clad chassis. In fact, Mr Yi indirectly confirmed the copious usage of quality materials for the S6 shell by reassuring investors that Samsung won't have any issues producing a metal chassis in large quantities, both internally, or from third-party suppliers.
Thanks for the tip!

You guys have no clue how much I'm rooting for Samung, but it's hard to root for them with showings like this.
The phone would look amazing if it were released in 2012, but if Samsung really wants to improve their hardware reputation, the need to go all out.
Again, the phone looks good. However, all of us here can agree that we were looking for a more groundbreaking design.

As much as I agree about looks, I wouldn't hope for something far from Note 4. Could the mysterious special function be those switchable back covers, each one with its special function? The already usefull removable back cover doubles as an accessory. If only usb3 could come back without a lid this time

usb3 is never coming back because the usb type c is the same speed as usb3

The fallacy is to think that groundbreaking will sell better. It may, but it can also turn off a large/the largest group of users/ interested people for being too uncommon.
Even the iPhone 6 design borrows a lot/most from existing designs.

The shiny chrome/metal border they always put around their phones is the main thing that makes them look cheap as f**k. Plus the ultra soft edges, but mainly the border. Get rid of that border and it will look 2x better

Let's breakdown how dumb you look.
With this logic you present, you are trying to say if a person EVER says something negative about Company A, then he is a hater of Company A.
Fact: Apple had a great quarter and Samsung had a decent quarter but needs to show improvement.
Fact: Just because I think a Samsung product looks silly or just because I'm mocking oblivious Apple haters doesn't mean I don't want Samsung to succeed.
Here's a full list of things I am:
Google Fanboy
Apple Fanboy
LG Fanboy
Samsung Fanboy
Microsoft Fanboy
Sony Fanboy
The sole point of this post is to expose to the world how idiotic you and people like you are. I love hundreds of Companies, but I will never be so insecure as to pretend my favorite companies never deserve criticism.

Lol, let me tell you where your logic fails:
a) You only critizise Samsung while praising others (it´s not saying something negative, is that ALL your posts were negative)
b) You post on every Samsung post just to critizise them
c) You insult people while doing so.
d) You always post first or reply to the first one to get visibility even if not related: that´s just trolling
You are not a Samsung fanboy, just a boy...

^Chill man LOL
Are you coming to these conclusions based on his posts the last couple of days? Also, his post wasn't really negative. It was a fair statement regarding Samsung. You do realize they aren't doing that well, right?
You sound like another person who thinks Samsung can do nothing wrong.

Not really, what I can´t stand is people that acts phony.
The issue for me is not that he critizises Samsung, but his second post here:http://www.phonearena.com/news/Strategy-Analytics-Apple-and-Samsung-tie-for-global-smartphone-supremacy-in-Q4_id65328
He claims with airs of superiority: "I'm here to encourage the idea of not simply hating a particular Company."
The next thing you know is that he posts three consecutive comments in three different news bashing Samsung.
That´s what tick me off the wrong way, the hypocrisy of that fact.
For the rest you can bash Samsung as much as you want, just as far as you don´t go telling afterwards that you are here to give lessons of civility ;)

And like someone used to say: One more thing
I don´t know who do you think is people like me: I don´t go bashing against a company like you do.
Because you are the one hating and calling sh**t to some companies and products, not me.
So do you refer you try to expose people like YOU?
Funny thought!

Where's the INOVATION?
Where's the REALLY NEW DESIGN?
Where's PROJECT ZERO????
That's just another normal Samsung Galaxy.

What i am hoping for Samsung to do, to get rid of the ugly texture on the front panels. Although the overall design of the Note 4 is better, i still find the S5 black's front panel more appealing than the textured gray one found on the Note 4, it looks better when the amoled screen is off, and it doesn't ruin the look of the notification and capacitive button's lights.

Why? It looks very plain and boring. In fact this whole render looks boring. It's gonna look way better than that. I may even consider dropping my Note 4 for the S6. But then again, I am hoping the Note 5 takes on the look and style.

Render is fake lmao. Samsung's phone don't grt leak until a day before or the day of announcement. Example - S5 and Note 4.
