I REALLY, REALLY hope they include front speakers though. That would literally make it the perfect phone. I'm very skeptical but cautiously optimistic.

I'll be glad if front facing speakers become the norm in flagship phones. Now we've got the Moto X and G, the Nexus 6, and the S6.

So
1.A very slender body with at least a metal frame.
2.14nm Exynos 7420 and Wolfson DAC. And the MaliT760 is at least MP8 and seems to be stronger than Adrena 430.
3.DDR4 ram. Sadly likely to stay at 3GB.
4.Most likely their new eMMC 5.1 UFS memory chips that are 3-5x faster and consume 40-50% less power
5.All in one radio chip. Likely with their new modem.
6.Enhanced Amoled from S5 and Note 4. Brighter, more accurate, and more efficient than either.
7.Touchwiz goodness more refined with the possibility of being toned down or ability to tone down.
8.Amazing battery life. Despite that they are likely to use the rumored non removable 2,600MAH battery 200MAH smaller than the S5. The S5 still scored a 83hour endurance on Lollipop. The S6 will be vastly more efficient in SoC, display, radios, and memory.
Then we also have the possibilyt of
1.A 20MP camera. Could be a new Isocell. Could also be a re worked Sony 16MP like the one in the Note 4.
2.Front stereo speakers. Whehter it's mono or stereo they/it better be at least as loud as the Note 4 with improved range/fidelety/bass.

AnonD-59657, 23 Feb 2015Galaxy S6 would gather all the best features from:
HTC (front speaker and metal unibody),
So... moreI really hope the S6 is not an entire metal unibody myself.
And I know there are not exactly the same...
Technically most of those things are going their own way from things they had in the past.
The HTC One's speakers are only somewhat better than the ones in the Samsung Omnia HD from early 2009. But they were top and bottom. Not front facing.
Which goes to camera. Samsung has always been the biggest OEM in cameras next to Nokia. They released most camera upgrades first up to 12MP and have always been best next to Nokia. And the Omnia HD was the first phone to record and play HD content. Hence the name.
The Z had a small lead over the S4. But then there was the Zoom too.
Although Panasonic might have just come in and dominated everyone.
And they had full metal bodies with older phones too. Not unibody because you could still remove the back and battery.
And number of phones had finger print before iPhone.
I always wondered why they didnt atleast retain the speakers from the phones they had back then in Symbian when they made the Galaxy S. Some people wonder about the all metal where as I kind of like the advantages of Poly Carbonate.
And why some versions of the S1 didn't even have a camera flash.

New Delhi: One of the highlights of the new Apple iPhone 5s smartphone is the fingerprint scanner that Apple calls Touch ID and technology enthusiasts would already be aware that the iPhone 5s isn't the first phone to have such a feature.
In 2011, the Motorola Atrix was the first phone to come with a fingerprint scanner. At the time the Motorola Atrix was marketed as the world's most powerful smartphone packed full of tech wizardry "any aspiring spy can be proud of". It was the first smartphone to operate with fingerprint recognition to ensure it can only be activated by the genuine owner.

I know they're just outlining the "rumours"...but if the Norway Samsung site actually lists "potential" front facing speakers and Samsung doesn't deliver; that's going to disappoint a LOT of people. I am personally crossing my fingers SOO tight that it does have them but all the leaks up until now don't really indicate that. Be REALLY stupid to get people's hopes up like that though.

Proper front facing stereo speakers would definitely be an advantage. But only HTC ONE M8 proper though.
These days heaps of people watch movies on there phones, and there's nothing worse than trying to awkwardly 'cup' the phone for an entire 2 hour movie to get better sound from the 'tinnie' mono rear facing speaker, that gets really uncomfortable, real quick.
I am sceptical about this rumor though, as all the leaked images point to a mono side pointing speaker (slightly better than rear facing, but still not good enough). And still won't eliminate 'cupping'.

Yeah I wouldn't mind if the Active and XCOVER series assimilated into Samsung's primary flagship device. It would streamline their diverse releases. I actually wouldn't mind if a 4'' Display iteration with a smaller body with identical materials and design released. I'd definitely go for that. I like what the leak suggests about its display, it has a nice but very well toned curve.

So... moreDon't forget, Samsung also made its phones curved--a new trend for people in love with high-tech.
Having a curved display is some innovative idea Samsung first came up with.
