Samsung has announced the Galaxy S6 will be unveiled on March 1, ahead of the Mobile World Congress.

Press invitations have been handed out by Samsung and it seems the Korean phone maker will present two different models of the upcoming phone. The Galaxy S6 will have the usual standard design while the Galaxy S6 Edge model will feature a curved screen.

An internal document leaked to the press hinted the S6 will be available last week of March while S6 Edge will probably be sold to the public at the end of April.

The leaked memo also puts the price of Galaxy S6 with 32 GB memory at around US$875.  The 128 GB edition is understandably more expensive at around US$1,100.  The curved S6 Edge 32 GB version will probably cost around US$1,000 while the 128 GB can reached as high as US$1,250.

The T-mobile site has confirmed the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge version in its online presentation.

It's no secret the Galaxy S5 was  not well received due to its unimaginative design and disappointing specs.

This time, the Galaxy S6 will sport a different look from its predecessor.  Instead of the usual boring plastic casing, the S6 will sport a new design made of metal and glass similar to the HTC One or iPhone.       

Aside from the Edge version, there are reports circulating the S6 will come in six different versions to cater to various tastes.

The S6 screen is rumored to be a Quad HD 2K.  Rumors are even circulating the Galaxy S6 will have the highly anticipated flexible screen technology. The rear camera will be a 20 MP while the front camera will be a 5 MP.

The S6 is also rumored to have an Octa-core processor and will most surely use the Android 5 Lollipop version.
