A photograph has appeared of what would be the new casing of the Samsung Galaxy S6, the great smartphone that will be present at the CES, as we said this afternoon, although not publicly, but only for the operators and other Samsung partners. But it hasn't come without controversy, with Samsung experts like SamMobile entering into a discussion about the photograph.
Twitter debate among experts
The new photos have been published by NowhereElse, a French blog that has previously published some Samsung photos. In this case, we can see four photos that show what is said to be the new casing of the Samsung Galaxy S6. It stands out especially for being a metal casingCould this be the Samsung Galaxy S6? Well, without knowing what it will look like, there's nothing to suggest otherwise, although there's also nothing to suggest this will be the new flagship. However, one of SamMobile's editors doesn't believe that photo is of the Samsung Galaxy S6 casing. He stated this on Twitter, responding to NowhereElse, stating that what we see in that photo is a prototype of the Samsung Galaxy A5. It must be said that SamMobile is the most recognized Samsung-specific media outlet in the world.
To this the French blog responded that there was any basis for his claim that it was a prototype of the Galaxy A5, to which he replied that a reliable source I had told them so. The French ended with a "Well, wait and see... :)" in the Gallic language, which seemed to make it clear that they still thought it was the Samsung Galaxy S6 case.
What does a metal casing mean for a flagship?
If the chassis is finally made of metal, we can expect a higher structural rigidity, better heat dissipation and a premium feel. In return, manufacturers often optimize the antenna design to maintain a good coverage and use internal bands or frames that don't compromise connectivity. This type of construction also limits battery access and repairability, so the quality of the assembly and reinforcement points are key.
Responsible materials and certifications that you can now search for
Beyond the leak, if you are considering buying a case for your Galaxy S6, there are options with recycled content. Some lines are verified under the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), an international standard that audits the percentage of recycled material and the social, environmental, and chemical processes throughout the supply chain. To qualify for the Climate Pledge Friendly label, products must incorporate at least one 50% GRS material system
In this context, it is worth highlighting certifications issued by organizations such as Intertek, with control identifiers such as TE-00318682, which facilitates product traceability. Choosing a case with these guarantees not only protects your phone, it also promotes a responsible purchasing.
