Samsung Galaxy S6 Release Date, Specs News: Image Shows a Curved Display

Samsung has been sending out a variety of teasers about the Galaxy S6 in steady trickles, but the first real look at the device has come from an unlikely source: T-Mobile. The CEO of the mobile service provider John Legere used his Twitter account to provide more insight into the device and even included an image of it.

The link tweeted by Legere led to an image on the T-Mobile website which clearly showed that the Galaxy S6 will come with a curved display, and that the carrier will offer it. The edge on the image provided by T-Mobile also hints that Samsung might only be offering an "edge" version of the device and not a device with bezels. Until now, many rumors about the Galaxy S6 had hinted that Samsung was creating two versions of it, one with bezels at its sides and another with dual curved edges.

T-Mobile, in the page that displayed the device with a curved screen, also encouraged people to sign up if they were interested in purchasing the device. The image also comes with the phrase "Six Appeal," which appears to be a curious marketing line for the device.

As for official news from Samsung, there has been very little aside from teaser videos that showed only a side view of the device. However, the narrator in the videos gives clear hints on what the device would be like. He says: "Tomorrow, metals will flow. Beauty will be powerful. Borders will disappear. Reflections will be free. Colors will live. The future will be the present."

Forbes said this could only mean that the Galaxy S6 will have a metal body and curved screen along with an anti-reflective coating.

A blurred screenshot in one of the teasers hinted that the Galaxy S6 will come with dual curved screens, one on each side of the main screen. These curved screens will function independently from the main screen much like the screen on the Galaxy Note Edge which has received favorable responses from customers.

Samsung is expected to unveil two devices at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Sunday, March 1. The highly anticipated Galaxy S6 is rumored to be one of those, and the radical Edge version which features a curved screen, is believed to be the other device set for launch.
