The Samsung Galaxy S6 rumors keep on coming–especially in the wake of Apple releasing its iPhone 6 a few weeks ago.

According to one report this week, the S6–if that’s what it’s called–will have a 5.3-inch display with a 4K display, meaning it will have 3840×2160 pixels with over 375 ppi density on an AMOLED screen. For instance, the LG G3 has a 2K display.

And the phone might also feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor with 4GB of RAM, FirstPost reported.

The rumors also say the phone could have a 20 MP camera with an iris scanner. For example, the Galaxy S5 had a 16 MP camera.

Another website is also claiming that the S6 will have “front speakers.”

According to the site, “Update (27th Oct, 2014 ) : you can expect the Galaxy S6 to have Front speakers for better music experience and front camera would have flash, so that you can take high quality Selfies.

Generally speaking, Samsung usually reveals its flagship smartphones around the time of the Mobile Word Congress conference in February.

The S6 will likely come out around that time.

It has been predicted that Samsung will see a 60 percent drop in earnings, which means that the S6 could be released earlier.

“Samsung’s profits in the mobile division will continue to deteriorate during this period of changing their line of smartphones,” Lee Min-hee, who is an analyst at IM Investment and Securities, was quoted by The New York Times as saying.

We all know Samsung’s third-quarter earnings will be pretty ugly. The earlier release of its new phones could be reflected in its third-quarter earnings, it could give them a slight boost,” Claire Kim, an analyst with Daishin Securities Co in Samsung’s native Korea told Bloomberg.
