...and the antenna seams...and the entire rounded aluminum chassis...

Let's be real here, it's pretty clear they were at least "inspired.".

Yeah...the whole inspired theme works both ways........like large screens? We all know where they were "inspired" with that.
Then the design of the IP6 is not something new...unibody has been around for a long time.

Lol keep saying that Samsung "invented" large screens as though it was some kind of profound achievement to make a phone bigger.

Unibody's been around for a long time, but again, the specific design language of the iPhone 6 has not. Until now apparently.

Lol no Samsung didn't invent them. Apple just copied the market on large screens..... After saying the 3.5 inch screen was the only way to go. Nice try though on your part to mix truth with BS.
Look what the larger screens has done for Apple.

Hint: Apple basically made the iPad before they made the iPhone, so I'm not entirely convinced that they didn't know how to do large screens. They simply made the screens larger this time around because the market demanded it, so stop using that weak point as the centrepiece of your argument.

Otherwise yyyyeah I think I won't waste time arguing with you anymore if that's literally your entire argument. I don't think anybody (except you) can look at that picture and with a straight face claim that it's a unique design and not a total ripoff.

It's a shame, because Samsung is totally more capable than that. I do sincerely hope those leaks are not legit for their own sake.

lol yeah.....riiiight.

But If i can get a S6 with a unibody design like the IP6 and M8 (M9) with smaller bezels! I'm in! Add in a revamped TW and its bonus time!
Hey and if they can make their fingerprint solution close to TouchID....double bonus time!!! :)

I don't think S6 will have a 64 bit processor. Let's wait and see.

Why not? The Note 4 international variant is 64-bit. Seems like they know how to do it already.

Plus, the 810 is 64-bit, is it not?

The wikipedia article for the Exynos 7 says it has a 32 bit data path to memory.

Personally I think it is time for Sammy to release a global flagship phone (S6) with a metal unibody with an external SD card slot. Something similar to the M8 (or soon to be released M9) and the IP6.

The A series is a good potential indicator of where Samsung is headed. Unibody metal, SD, slim form.

I need the SD slot though. I hope it stays.

I liked to have the SD slot too. Unless they start with 32GB and 64GB at the same prices as before.

Kool-aid drinking iBoys, please stop with the Steve Jobs "copycat" ******** and remember the notification bar.

EDIT: Looks like a solid device. However, Samsung needs to ditch Touchwiz and go with stock Android asap.

I like the chassis. So the Spigen case leaked pretty much is it. You can see the rounded sides through the transparent case.

Galaxy S6

never seen a toilet like that. Are those gripes where you place your feet haha.


Throughout Asian & Indian continent and in some European countries toilets are like this. You basically squat and poop, apparently the squatting position actually provides a better exit than our western modern sit down toilets which are of a Victorian invention (well the flush variety anyway). By squatting you are putting far less stress on the bowel, and hence less chance of Piles and other anus related issues ... ;)

Samsung popularised large screened devices. When the original note came out none of the main stream companies would have dared to take such a risk. They deserve some credit for bringing phablets to the mainstream.

The iphone 6/6 + design was inspired by the ipod touch 5th gen from 2012. It is a unibody design but I'd say that it's different from the HTC One.
