It looks more like a Chinese knockoff of the S6 more than the S6. Even the metal looks plastic and those corners are very rounded. Not really believing these now at all.

This is what always happens before a flagship phone release. All kinds of images turn up and most of the time they are all fake. But it causes such a BIG stir on the message boards! :)

Chinese knock offs are known to be pretty accurate though right? That's probably pretty close to the real thing.

I read somewhere that those three black dots on the front of the device are ways to track the leaker. Shrug. Looks like speakers will indeed be on the bottom ala the iPhone 6.

Wow, Samsung! I hope those are fake!

The bottom looks just like an iPhone 6, has the thick lines AND protruding camera. Crazy!

You trolling?

Samsung has had camera bumps before. Apple copying Samsung?

HTC has had antennae lines before. Apple copying HTC?

I don't think so. I know they all copy to an extent but if s6 has the antenna lines, protruding camera, headphone jack on bottom, no removable battery, and metal back its def Apple inspired.

Really? Do you have some examples?

iPhone 6 is basically an iPod touch with antenna lines and curved instead of chamfered edges. Apple has been doing unibody aluminum since 2008.

Yes I have examples! Just look right above the posts and read the thread! You will see differing images and rumors. Did you take the time to get caught up in the thread?

The 5th gen ipod came out in 2012, and why does this dumb crap matter?! I am glad to see these companies taking cues from one another personally

Oh i agree....that poster only shows up in the Alternative section to say something negative about Android or current/new flagship phones.

I didn't say it was a 2008 iPod. I said Apple has been doing unibody aluminum since 2008. The 5th gen iPod touch came out in 2012. HTC One M7 wasn't out then was it?

Nope, I'm not.

No need to educate me on that, I know from first hand experience. :)

Id argue that the Nexus line puts the back button on the wrong side. I prefer the back button on the right side.

same here.....love the back button on the right side. I think all (onscreen) software buttons should be customizable. So we can arrange them they way we prefer.
I know Samsung phones always have the back button on the right side.

Oh okay. Maybe I just haven't tried the back button on the right side yet. I could do that with my oneplus one though ;)

+1 back button on the right is just so much more comfortable. I can see lefties wanting it on the left though. IMO they should be customizable whether they be software or hardware buttons.

----------

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.


Yeah Nostradamus called, says he wants his powers back... :cool:

So it looks like they have a different take on the GS6 Edge from what they did with the Note 4. This looks more for a true edge to edge form factor. And as you can see, the back is glass. This thing should be a beauty in person. Bring on the Note 5.
