Hey all
We have several threads dedicated to the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S6. so I thought it best roll them all into one as we now have more detailed listings. These are still TBC, so they will be updated as we get more information in.
Interesting Samsung went with its "in-house" Exynos chipset and not a snapdragon 810, thoughts?

I think the battery will be ~3000mAh and while i don't want a 1440 screen its going to happen. Also i think it will be Bluetooth 4.1 and i think that the heart rate monitor will be gone in the S6.
I think it doesn't have dust and water resistant facilities.
Here's hoping for a sdcard slot, else it'll be a big change, no removable battery and no sdcard slot.

At long last a 32GB default memory for the base model, taken them long enough. Really hope the rumours that they've seriously cut back touch whizz are true.
Info
I always like to see Innovation of Samsung in Chipset & CPU
so I love to see Exynos variant of Galaxy S6 more than SD.810
:good:

i second that on the sd slot. And i really hope att doesnt have samsung lock it using knox again, theres little to no development on my s5 thanks to knox. and its just not fair to pay 700 dollars to have limited phone.
March 1st will be here soon enough and hopefully HTC can convince me enough to get off the sammy band wagon lol

Personally I don't care about Knox, the first thing I did when I got my Tab S was flash a custom recovery and root it. That's the joy of an unlocked bootloader.

Thats what im saying if knox is going to be activated on at&t i think im gonna have to pass on this device even though the specs are amazing. i love all the work the devs do, and being able to push the phone to the limit and without being able to root i cant see myself buying this.
p.s. unless att can garrentee us resonable update times.
I heard that we are going to be able to delete the bloatware, which is a plus, but I still want my SD card.

That looks way different from all those leaks so far (not iPhone 6 like rounded), and it's looking nice.
why not 5.5
I just don't understand, why 5' display needs 2k? To drain more battery and make it more laggy? 1080p would be the best choice...
Samsung Norway posted this now.
https://www.samsung.com/no/isthisthenext/
It's to feature a 16MP not 20MP camera unit on the production model. In fact it will have a tweaked version of the camera unit used in the Note 4.

Hmmm. If HTC M9 gets bad reviews I think I will get this phone instead. The bad thing is the rumors about the battery and SD slot. Also this phone will not have as great ROM support as a snapdragon phone :/

Sweet now we can buy the Galaxy S2 with 2.3, then watch the Nexus S2 release a few months later with 3.0 (or whatever) while we wait forever for an update.
http://briefmobile.com/samsung-i9200-galaxy-s2-is-probably-a-fake
what a lame report!
no new pics, no new specs -nothing!
this is just a fake!
wtf??
Do you think Samsung will have their dual-core devices ready to show next week?
the article is from Taylor Wimberly on Dec 27 at 11:40 am
Some say is probably true...
Others say it's probably fake...
Hopefully the word "probably" will disappear soon.....
Look at the date of the article. We've already had CES, no Galaxy S2 or Tab 2.

Wait and see

It can't be true.
-Neither qualcomm nor samsung has a 2Ghz CPU in stock.
They have dual core CPUs up to 1.5Ghz but nothing more than that will come before 2012 (or late 2011 at least).
-4GB ROM when there's large built in flash memory is hard to believe.. Too expensive and too hard to replace.
-The Galaxy S G-sensor is a six-axis one. Gyroscope is useless with this type of sensor so why going back to an older technology than the Galaxy S ?
It's just a fake.
the nexus s has a gyro. and it's better than the accelerometers as far as precision is concerned.
Now 2ghz etc.. bs probably, but we'll know soon enough. A dual core 1.2ghz would be plenty, with a good camera and no issues on the phone.
Then if everything would be open source.. that would be a lot better. (so that updates aren't an issue)

I think I just found my new phone, upgrading from SGS2. The specs blow away any phone right now.
* Qualcomm 8064 CPU (Quadcore)
* 2GB RAM
* 16GB ROM
* Graphics processing comparable to the XBOX 360 (Adreno 320 graphics chip)
* 2000 mAh 3000 mAh battery upgrades
* 4.3 inches high PPI retina screen, 1280x720 resolution. The touch screen to do (the OGS / TOL), the single glass fit technology, Ultra Narrow design to protect the glass.

Not sure if it has expandable storage. But by currency conversion it works out: $315/£200!!
Should be released in October. Hope it works in UK
Nice phone! If only we could get it for under $400 shipped in USA. Hopefully works for T-Mobile....

I wonder if this will have solid rom AOSP/ROM support... you might imagine so considering it's running MIUI out of the box.
Also, battery life.
Will it have an english MIUI available though?
Great specs, especially love the option for 3000mAh albeit with an extra 2mm thickness. But no mention of an SD card slot?? 16GB inside is fine but not enough for me on the whole.
I want one so bad! Hopefully we can manage to get them here in the US for under $400... It's beautiful.

Just wondering if it will work in the UK
Based on what I've read, don't expect to get your hands on it until the specs are no longer a wow factor.
Apparently this company has some very interesting marketing strategies, the price is apparently more so an initial head turner and far from permanent. Supply is also iffy.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Only missing feature is NFC, but hard to complain about at that price with those specs. Even if it comes in at $450 or so in the end that's around the Xperia P range so not out of sorts. We'll see if they release the goodies for the devs to tinker with.
Has this gone on sale in China? Maybe one of the Chinese users could clear our queries with regards to this phone. I'm chiefly concerned about the following things:
1. English support (should mostly have)
2. AOSP support (almost certainly might have)
3. Build quality and spares!!
Damn it I live in India and we are China's neighbours. Start selling you phones here guys!

amazing what they can produce here :cyclops:
don't expect aosp support as they will probably never release the kernel source. the first one was okay... many of my friends have them but.although they get updates every week they still seem to be only about 75 stable.. the new one has me interested from a cheap hardware angle but I like beingable to choose my own Rom
@joshofbass
what do you mean by "they still seem to be only about 75 stable"?
reboots? freeze? I need a dual sim so that i don't have to lug around 3 phones
NFC??
Does anyone know if the MI-2 supports NFC technology?
I have seen many websites which write the specs and other useful information,but none is mentioning whether or not it has a nfc chip.
NFC is not listed in the specs on the official homepage. Neither is microsd support, btw ...
the best phone!

Like all Motorola phones it is very heavy. It weighs about 180g whereas it's elder brother stands at 130g. And it is not a 64-bit device as rumored but can be called a good deal (given it is a NEXUS device) if it is kept under 40k price tag IMHO. Let's hope there is at least a new kernel like 3.14 for it.
if it is 64bit and above 40k i can think about it , if no then i will wait for snapdragon 810
Hell yeah
High end specs big battery
Big display (probably because they want to raise moto x sales) and memory 3 gb (more than enough for anything)
Lets hope it launch in india soon before
January at a decent price near 35 would be nice

I'll be happily surprised if that's the price tag. It costs $649 in US, that equals ~40k INR.
For perspective, price of Nexus 5 in the US is $349 (21.5k INR) while price in India is 29k (starting). Note 4 is $749 off contract in US while 58.3k in India. I'd expect something over 45k. I will grab it ASAP if it's 43k, even though I don't plan to (yet).
45k I bet on...?looks like a killer device. But design it's all moto that we have seen before. This time planning to wait for a while before I jump into this ship...

Not sure what to think? I want most of the specs from the 6P to be in the 5X, 5.7 screen is just to big
that's too bad, even the 32GB version only has 2GB of RAM. they're going to miss a ton of sales due to this alone.
no SD card was expected, but people who are new to Nexus devices won't like that either.
sales will be even softer due to no carriers or brick & mortar retailers selling it.
for those wanting a ~5" device, next one to look fwd to will be the OnePlus Mini which should be out by Christmas.
I thought other leaked info indicated camera sensor is RGBW?
Well now we know that the price for 16GB is $379 (probably will be well over £300 I reckon) we can safely say this thing is not that competitive really, on specs or on price. Makes it an easy decision for me.
4K, 340fps?? really?
I skipped the nexus 6 last year, now again I'm disappointed. Not buying this.
Tapping on the toe with a new hat
dissapointed. but well see on the reviews
Wow really this is it! Was deciding the sell my oneplus two but now after this I'm keeping it!
HTC is announcing new phones tomorrow as well, including a 5" phone with mid-range specs (SD 617 chip) that looks just like an iPhone on the back. pretty sure that phone only has 2GB RAM as well.

there's no AOSP for S6 due to the proprietary processor Samsung uses, it's essentially closed source so developers don't have access and thus really can't bother.

My eyes popped out looking at that too. Has to be a typo, unfortunately.
2GB ram is kinda retarded... I just cannot undestand why they did this....
I don't understand why the hell everyone wants more than 2 GBs of ram. It's a bloody phone...
I am happy with it. Just miss a 64GB option. And maybe G4's 3000mAh Battery.
Am am sure this will be again a hot seller...
For me, all they needed to do was pretty much an updated version of the original, but this time sort out the camera and battery.
I know many find the specs to be under what's expected. But in a few months time when the 5X is still smooth running the latest M and the S6 owners are still waiting, the 5X may be the smart choice.
Lets see what the reviews say about the Camera & Battery.
Are there enough improvements, changes in the new LG G5, to entice you?

those are the last rumors

I've not heard, nor seen this. Can you share any links to support what you have heard? I do agree w/ the adreno 530 though, that I have seen too:good:
I'm looking forward to seeing it out BUT I'll never buy another LG phone that has a locked bootloader.

Thank you. Well while it is spec-ulation atm, it will be nice to see what the final design will offer.
The G5's dimensions will allegedly be 149.4 x 73.9 x 8.2 mm
If I can get a significantly extended battery for it, I'll consider it. If no big battery = no buy.

Not sure that will be possible. The battery has a different insertion method... or so it was speculated.
Rear camera will be a dual Camera, one cam will have 16mp and the other one 8mp and the gpu adreno 530, not 520. Wouldn't expect a bump that big from 3k to 4k mah on battery :/
I have a G3, if this phone turns out to be REALLYYYYY revolutionary, I might think on upgrading by the end of the year.
No
Because the bootloader on the G4 & V10 still hasn't been unlocked... Not sure if the hack Gods are interested in LGs phones anymore.

Some versions of the Intl V10 and the T-mo are BL unlocked. Same goes for the G4:good:
I'm upgrade from S6 Edge & LG G2... . Lg makes usefull smart phones. I like this one too ...
I'm currently running the G3. I really liked the v10, but the things I want improved on the v10 are USB-C, smaller profile, and the SD 820. I also would like to keep the 4GB of RAM, but let's see how that goes.
I hope the G5 keeps the same style and form as the previous G4,G3, and (to a major extent) G2. The buttons on the back and the high screen to body ratio are my two favorite things on the G3. I also really like the audio cord on the bottom.
Hey guys, just coming here to lay my claim to this sub forum! I'm 99% sure I'm picking up a G5, porting it for an official NetHunter release, and fixing up a fun kernel. I might even get involved with TWRP.
It's starting to look like it could be a real open development phone for me. (I'll be getting it in Canada though when it is available, so I'm certain I'll be in the bootloader safezone)
I'm really glad they went with a 5.6" screen. It'd be nice to see some reliable information on the battery and how easy it will be to replace. Leaving the world of 1 second battery swap to full is a scary thing for me.
Won't upgrade from V10
I am really considering buying the V10 right now, but after seeing this I must consider to wait for the G5.... Decisions, decisions
I am currently using xperia Z5 Premium.

Hope is the word:fingers-crossed:
Glad to see Devs populating this device:good:
I like how the spec in OP is for a 6 inch lens.
I'll probably be getting a G5 in Spring/Summer. Currently the G3 is working great and is slowly coming up for a replacement.
I may upgrade my old G2 now
