After the release of the highly-anticipated iPhone 6 variants of Apple, pundits are expecting for Samsung to do a much grander follow-up with a Galaxy S6 model. We have heard a lot of rumors about the South Korean mobile giant's upcoming smartphone, thanks to its purported leaks and tech reports from unnamed sources online. As such, it is time for us to sort which ones could be the most available once it gets launched soon.

The following are the top five rumors about Samsung Galaxy S6. One thing for sure is that the phone is expected to bump iPhone 6 out of everyone's must-have lists:

A Metal Finish-Galaxy S6?

The Fuse Joplin mentioned that Samsung might be releasing S6 in the same metal finish following the debut of Samsung Galaxy Alpha. The unit was noted as the first in the South Korean company's smartphone line to debut in a metal finish. Moreover, it has been believed that aside from the finish, metal will also be the same theme of the phone's chassis.

Super AMOLED 3840x2160 display?

Gizbot reported that the Samsung Galaxy S6 will definitely be bigger and better than its S5 predecessor at least in terms of display. It has been said that the Galaxy S6 might come out with a 3840X2160 pixel UHD display. The Fuse Joplin mentioned a rumor that the Galaxy S6 will employ a Super AMOLED display. Whether either of the two might be shown on the phone in its debut, fans would expect that it would be better than iPhone's current 4.7-inch HD display.

Better Camera than the Galaxy Note variants?

Christian Post said that Samsung released the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge smartphones equipped with 16MP snappers. As such, it has been believed that the upcoming S6 might come in at 20MP and backed by OIS, which is a major improvement to the 8MP camera retained by Apple on its iPhone 6 variants.

Samsung S6 at 64-bt processor?

Citing rumors, Gizbot said that the Samsung smartphone would come in with a 64-bit processor courtesy of Qualcomm. The company has already announced the release date of the powerful processor, but chances are that its arrangement with Samsung will have the hardware debut a little early with the release of S6.

A cheaper Samsung S6 than iPhone?

You read it right. Apple's edge against high-quality Android devices is its brand. But people nowadays are more willing to pay for a plethora of high-end features for less, and Samsung, among the others, have managed to addressed that demand. Christian Post said that the S6 will debut in the market at a cheaper price than the retail price of the iPhone 6 Plus.
