You mean apple? They started losing sales so they went back to their bread and butter of cloning iphones

because it's still a big phone lol. Neuxs 5 was 5 inches and plenty smaller. But I guess they want room for the fingerprint scanner.
Apple copied the back design of HTC's M series phone for the iPhone 6.
Lol no

Yes because they had never seen an HTC One before they made the i6...
They copied the HTC just like the galaxy is a copy of the iphones hardware. Not a complete ripoff but design elements were copied.

Hey peeps I have to make some clarifications on the above pics. According to the user andreif on Reddit, the screen measurements of 107.32mm x 64.36mm would not have a 16:9 aspect ratio and would only results in a 4.93" screen. For it can have a 16:9 aspect ratio a screen with a 64.36mm width would need a 114.4mm height which will result with a 5.16" screen. Based on these asumptions the phone's screen will look like the following:
Brushed aluminum alloy had been around far longer than the M series, and that's where the similarities end.

Yeah Apple pretty much put the same ugly lines on the back except it's way uglier than on the HTC One.
I still can't get over the ugly ass outlining on the 6. Everything else is really nice, but I can't believe that made it through design meetings

hey now, at least the Apple ones don't pop out of place! or do they? i know bendgate was a thing, but not that...
Apple's iphone 6/6+ were natural design choices and a result of evolution. Think about it: Apple couldn't get away with using the exact same design for the iphone 6/6+.
Apple and HTC have a licensing pact in place and best believe if real similarities existed HTC wouldn't hesitate to sue Apple.
Let's not confuse Apple/HTC design with the outright obsession Samsung has with Apple as legally documented around the world and confirmed in court over trade dress.
*looks at S6 pictures*
Is it me or is that a five inch phone???
*looks at S6 pictures again*
Wait..... y'all realize this means 5 inches is the new flagship design right? I'M PARTYING as we speak. Someone pull up the party gifs. Samsung's Apple obession set to the side for now, that device looks great. This bodes well for one handed use of 2015 smartphones. I hope Sony and LG take this to heart and plans accordingly.
Antennas in metal chassis, how do they work?

"the closest thing to a skip year in mobile phones"
maybe they'll all switch ib 2016 after Apple does it... like 32GB standard.
or ... Wait 5 the real flagship this fall.

One Plus 2 is probably the phone I'm most excited about. Top end specs for $350? I'll be in day 1. Paying $600 for a Galaxy S6 doesn't sound appealing.

So looking at those renders with the cases, the top/bottom bezels really are huge. Anyway, can't wait to see what new TouchWiz looks like.
And lord at that camera bump. That's gotta be a big sensor, right?

Edit:
Even if the S6 is a great device with huge improvements to TouchWiz, I wouldn't get it anyway. 5" displays are too small, in my opinion. After playing with the Nexus 6 and Note 4, I need a phone with a similar sizes display as those.

You were right. You were right all along.
Maybe

Surprised it'll be that cheap again. It's more than that for me after fees and the like, but promising, still. Not a huge fan of those colours on OxygenOS, though.

S6 is now on my priority list.
Wow what's your problem.
If you read the following post of mind you will know that the screen measurements in the sketches might be incorrect.

Android Central via Cnet Korea just posted an image of what is alleged to be the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.

Yup, if you're not an iPhone user. It's a good year to take a knee as an Android user.

It is a phone. Seriously, truth time: if you care about what phone someone else buys that much, it is time to take a time out from the internet and take an inventory of your life.

The S6 isn't a bad buy. Samsungs hold their resale value most next to Apple, unlike HTC or LG whose resale values sink like a brick. I would be skeptical of it due to them using their own processor, which has unknown performance at this point and much less development in the modding community though.

Gotta admit, just based on the way the backs of those phones look, they're the best looking mobile products to come out of Samsung. Unfortunately, the home button and Samsung logo will ruin the attractiveness of the front.
Can't believe they are sticking with the whole (double) edge thing. Such a useless gimmick.

Maybe, but I'm looking at the renders of the phone in all those cases, and they show big bezels. Not a big deal though. I was just hoping they would go the LG route of tiny bezels.
You're talking to the man that gave you the xfone--- I take this shit seriously man.
Tart up your Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with a genuine Swarovski crystal back case from Verizon Wireless:

S6 does look good for a samsung phone hardware wise. Camera hump looks ugly as sin, not sure why it's a big square and shit. Not sure why the M9 also has a big square. Who thinks this looks good lol.
I'm obviously not making any decision until I see the Moto X 2015 and at least rumours on the nexus 2015. And by then the one plus 2 will already be out so it will be easier to choose. But I definitely wouldn't waste an upgrade on some of the stuff I've seen so far. Seems like a buy off-contract kind of year barring any surprises later in the year.

I'm legit surprised Verizon didn't put it's logo on the back somewhere with some rubies.

Did this, and it still doesn't turn up in the Windows finder.
