Here is lolliopop on a gs5.I have about 200mb of disabled stock apps like amazon,nfl,blurred checkout etc.

The system foot print is smaller and samsung just needs to debloat stock forced apps and it looks like it's doing just that.

That does look pretty good

Here is gs4 Ge on 5.0, last rebooted last night

System usually hovers between 150-250mb

I'm reading about front facing speakers for the s6, too?

The hype/potential of this phone is building.

Source?

Edit: found it

So the screen that reaches "onto three sides" is true then, meaning probably front facing speakers too which would be cool!

Not sure about the third "rumor" in that case - that it'd be durable. With a screen like that, is there any case in the world that would protect the screen from shattering to any reasonable degree? Without negating the advantages of the curved sides?

Galaxy S6

I don't remember where exactly but I'm sure you can find it (I'm not in front of a comp right now).



Who knows though...



Edit: here!

But if you believe that source (a Samsung blog post reporting on the rumours - accompanied by images) then you have to believe the ridiculous images they posted with each of those rumours. None of which is remotely real.

I believe the case manufacture leaks, the S6 will look exactly how Spigen and all the others have shown. With rounded Xperia Z/iPhone 6 edges and speaker on the bottom.

I still think the edge (for the edge variant) will be on one side for ergonomic sake.

In the last week before unveil you always get crazy ass rumours that ALWAYS fail to materialise. Leaving folks to inevitably post complaints like "oh it was a little disappointing reveal".

Give it a week and I predict history and forum users will repeat ....

You're just hoping silently that it doesn't have any front-facing speakers.

Let's face it, 2 of the 3 features here are already confirmed. So, why would something mentioned on the front page of Samsung Norway page will lie about their flagship? And as for the images, only an idiot will this these are real images. It's not about images, the question is about the features they represent, it should be plain obvious to anyone by now.

Yep course I am :rolleyes:

The only thing obvious is Samsung are playing with the hype that these rumours create in the build up to the unveil on March 1st.

I am a realist. I buy enough flagship phones each year (many of them from Samsung) that affords me the rational not to get swept up by hyperbole and rumour.

No press images from Samsung actually show an edge device on both sides so far. Only the right side has been shown to have an edge. And if the case leaks from Spigen & others are real (which I believe they are as there is continuity of form from all of them) then the speaker will be on the bottom.

It is already starting to happen. More and more now in this thread and the M9 thread.

yes....then after the announcements are made and the phones are revealed. There will be lots of the negative posts about the phones because they didn't have one feature so now the phone is total trash.

LOL... Yep and all the would be prophets and naysayers will crawl out of the woodwork predicting the inevitable 'demise' of each of the companies .... 'OMG! they're soooooo dead'........ It's all inevitable - just like tomorrow follows today.

Yep. And said people will declare that they were going to buy it, they had their money ready and waiting but because the phone doesn't feature this one feature they are not going to buy. Now they are definitely going to buy another phone, although that one hasn't been announced yet because that other phone will surely be the best thing since sliced bread :D

You've seen the drill too! Thye were going to upgrade but now will stay with their current phone because the feature they wanted isn't in the current model so now the new model is crap.
Then of course we will have the Apple fans saying all the new model Android phones are crap compared to the iphone......

Exactly guys - it's like we could write a book on forum responses to phone/device launches :)

I'm just wondering how long we will have to wait till we get the myriad of 'newbie' posters hitting this forum to post the usual - barely structured - grammatically incorrect - highly suspicious posts - that go something like

Newbie Poster - First & LAST Post said:
"Samsung Galaxy S6 is so much better than iPhone 6 in ways. I buy Samsung S6 it has [ - INSERT GENERIC SPEC RIPPED FROM PRESS RELEASE - ] and [ - INSERT ANOTHER GENERIC SPEC RIPPED FROM PRESS RELEASE - ] making it surely the King of Smartphones.

I 'was' [* cough cough wink wink - honest] going to buy the iPhone 6 but Samsung Galaxy S6 has just killed the iPhone and all other Smartphones this year.

Incredible battery life [know's this without even using one] makes every other flagship pale in comparison.

Plus it has [ - INSERT YET ANOTHER GENERIC SPEC RIPPED FROM PRESS RELEASE - ] that the iPhone doesn't have. "


End of post - the newbie then disappears off the face of the planet - the inevitable raucous then kicks off with people arguing - the OP doesn't give a hoot - they've done their work, created their promo - got a link to offer as proof of job done.

Then someone dares to point out the post is highly suspicious and maybe a samsung employee or someone hired to hit forums with PR and then all then a sway of fanboys declare that never happens and the thread ends up closed by mod after disintegrating into verbal diarrhoea.

Just watch this space .... ;):)

This is hardly just some blog post though mate, it's a big fat thing right on their official site: http://www.samsung.com/no/isthisthenext/

And of course those three pics aren't supposed to show any real device, they're just stylized and I guess intended as parodies of typical "rumor" leaks, to give the S6 features a fun spin. And if those features weren't real, why would they tease about them on their official page just to then let people down one week later?

This paired with the "six appeal" pic right on T-Mobiles official site IMO makes it not too remote a possibility that the device actually has a screen that's curved on both sides + the front facing speakers and some special gimmick that is supposed to make it extra durable.

BUT my bet is there's also a more standard version coming, and that's the one we see in the Spigen case leaks etc.

Possibly bud. I'm just highly skeptical these days I guess .. However I could argue 'with justifiable reason' :) March 1st will tell us all.

Now that my Note 4 purchase has gone arseways up (eBay seller a rouge) and I won't get my paypal refund until the 4th March - it could be a toss up which I end up buying after. Bad luck 'could' end up being fortuitous.
