The next-generation Samsung Galaxy S6 flagship smartphone has popped up in an AnTuTu benchmark, revealing some of its key specifications.
Leaks about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 have started to intensify as of late, as the smartphone is expected to make its official debut in the first months of 2015. The Galaxy S5 has seen disappointing sales compared to its predecessor and units of the handset are reportedly piling up in warehouses, but Samsung reportedly plans to turn things around with its next flagship.
The company has reportedly gone back to the drawing board for the Galaxy S6 and is making significant efforts to create a top-notch device that will stand out from the crowd and return to the resounding success of the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4 iterations.
The purported Samsung Galaxy S6 has now been spotted on the AnTuTu benchmark website, and the specs listed there sound quite promising. Chinese portal CNMO was the first one to spot the benchmark listing and post a screenshot for the whole world to see (via Phone Arena).
The device in question appears with the model number SM-G925F and it seems to be the Exynos-powered variant of the handset. Samsung typically launches two versions of its flagships - one with a Snapdragon processor and another with its own Exynos chipset.
One variant of the Samsung Galaxy S6 is expected to rock the very latest 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor under the hood, but the device listed here on AnTuTu packs a 64-bit octa-core Exynos 7420 SoC. The processor is paired with an ARM Mali-T760 graphics processing unit (GPU) and 3GB of RAM.
The AnTuTu benchmark listing further reveals that the Samsung Galaxy S6 will sport a 5.5-inch display with a QHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and boast a 20-megapixel rear camera, as well as a 5-megapixel front-facing unit. The device will apparently come with 32GB of internal storage capacity. On the software side, as expected, the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop will run the show.
Recent rumors also suggested that the Galaxy S6 will debut alongside a curved-display Galaxy S6 Edge, much like the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge arrived back in September.
It all remains unconfirmed at this point, however, therefore it is highly advisable to take everything with a grain of salt until Samsung makes an official announcement.
