Samsung has been constantly criticized for what critics call its ‘çheap plastic casing’ prompting it to shift to metallic casings in the Galaxy Alpha last year. It seems the switch will be permanent as leaked pictures show the S6, the next installment in the flagship S series, with a metallic case as well.
The alleged photos reveal some new information that we haven’t seen yet: the button layout. As you can see from the photos, the MicroUSB port, 3.5mm headphone jack, speaker and what looks like a microphone cutout are placed at the bottom. The right side looks to feature the power/standby key and SIM card slot. On the left side, we’re seeing a volume rocker, and the top has cutouts for the antennas and what could possibly be an IR blaster. Other rumors suggest that the S6 will feature a 5.5-inch AMOLED 1080p display, a 20MP camera, and even significantly less bloatware when it comes to the software.
