Samsung working on 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch version of Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge model


Samsung Electronics may announce a mini and giant version of it's most popular smartphone Galaxy S6. The so called Galaxy S6 Mini and Galaxy S6 Plus would essentially be a smaller but powerful version of Galaxy S6 and the mega version of Galaxy S6 Edge.

4.6-inch Galaxy S6 Mini

GSMArena breaks the news of the smaller S6 variant via a new unexpected arrival on the GFX Benchmark database – the Samsung ‘SM-G9198’.

GFX is widely used to test Android handsets. It logs the data on all models that pass through it, making them publicly available and what stands out about the G9198 is its iPhone 6 comparable screen size and resolution, backed up with the same premium Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chipset as used successfully in the LG G4.

The former is nothing new. Samsung has long had ‘Mini’ versions of its Galaxy S range, but this appears to be the first time it is making the effort to match Apple’s smaller iPhone by giving it premium specs which includes a 15MP rear camera, 5MP front camera and 2GB of RAM. . This makes what could well be the new ‘Galaxy S6 Mini’ a major step up and the combination of the Snapdragon 808 and a 768p display means it should fly.

Galaxy S6 Plus

Samsung will supposedly announce the phone in the coming weeks, and it's being called "Project Zero 2" internally. Samsung codenamed the original Galaxy S6 "Project Zero." The S6 Plus will reportedly have a 5.4 or 5.5-inch curved screen, making it about the same size as the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus.

Other than its screen size, it sounds like the S6 Plus will essentially be a clone of the S6 Edge -- it has the same screen resolution, the same camera, and it will likely have a design that's very similar. Blog Sam Mobile, which has a strong record when it comes to reporting on unreleased Samsung devices, also reports that the phone will come with 32GB of storage space.

This isn't the first time Samsung has released a giant version of its flagship phone. Last year, the company unveiled a larger version of the Galaxy S5 known as the Galaxy S5 Plus
