The most and the only prestigious and premium flagship on the market, ready to compete with Apple's devastators, is making its build somewhere in the Samsung's final testing labs. Start preparing yourselves for the new Galaxy S6!
As it is not a secret that Galaxy S series release date come at April right after the new Galaxy Note start, as it was with S4 and S5 in 2013 and 2014 respectively. So we might presume that S6 would launch on April 2015, as all the precedents, such as Galaxy Note 4 release, were already made.
Speaking truth there are no leaked photos or specific rumors to speak about and we know nothing about the concrete or merely presumable details of the upcoming device, but the consumer should realize that the smartphone will not be another simple upgrade of the previous S5 and make himself ready for the new surprises from Samsung, speaking of which we can start today.
There should be something innovative to make a real competition to the major rivals. Samsung has already showed the world their fascinating experiments, such as Samsung Alpha with its full metal frame all along the device and the curved part of the Samsung Note Edge's display, which amazed and confounded the experts.
Or Samsung may go even further by making the whole device be exposed to curving with no harm to it. But suppose, this part of the expectations should be kept for future, as the minds of simple users are not ready for such turn of events, so such trump, even if it's ready in Samsung labs, should be kept for S7 or any other device, for example, called Galaxy Nova.
As told before, we don't know any specific dates or prices connected with the release. But we know that it would not be cheaper than the S5 was on April during the shipping. So if S6 will have some outstanding features, then the price would vary in range of $900-1000. And that will be a big mistake if the device's price will jump over the $1000 mark.

A camera that could be simply mistaken with a throat sprayer being a good masked video camera sitting invisibly in your front pocket. You can easily shoot video just walking by the streets and making your dirty work all around!
HTC isn't stating that this oddly looking friend can compete with GoPro series cameras, they're just saying that you might need it right when the video record time visits you and you have no smartphone quickly accessible to use. It's much more convenient to touch a start button with your finger on the device that is already waiting for action in your pocket. HTC even tells us that it is not waterproof and damage resistant enough to go on skiing or rafting, so think for yourself where you might use it in a daily life.
Few tips to use it may come from the outer specs of the device. As you have already noted it is small. And as a small device its weight is also small - only 65.5 grams (2.31 ounces) with dimensions:96.7 x 26.5mm. So it could be useful to take the small and easily reachable camera somewhere where you go on the vocation or just for a ride with your friends. Just imagine that when you feel yourself excited and there is no time to think of a hardly removable phone sitting tight in your jeans pocket, there is an excellent way to instantly start recording the moment you wish to be remembered for the entire life and not only in your mind, but video registered.
And do not be afraid that this video reminiscence will have a worse quality than your eyes could have remembered. Actually there's a 16MP sensor installed, shooting at 1080p/30fps video and 4x slow-motion 720p video and time-lapse recording, and features a CMOS sensor of 1/2.3-inch size along with a lens of 146-degree wide-angle range.
The video and photo shooting is solved with a single button: press it quick for a still image or hold for a few seconds to start video record. Another button will let you take slow motion pictures, above it there's a mic and beneath it there's a speaker and LED indicator, allowing you to instantly turn it on automatically with no other buttons to push, as HTC wants you to use it immediately with no other electricity source triggers to think about. The LED indicator knows exactly when to switch your RE camera, as when you keep it in the pocket where only the darkness rules there's no sense to devour your accumulator senselessly. Still think about the device that it is just an inhaler not capable for anything? Maybe the indicator will be slow to turn the device, but is much more convenient than looking for a small "turn on" button in the dark. It’s only one start button to commence the capturing.
At the watertight foundation a microSD slot is situated with an already assigned 8GB card coming as a part of the set, which can be easily taken away and interchanged with another one up to 128GB of free storage.
It is made of a glossy plastic, which does not fall out of your sticky hands with possibility to choose between following colors: black, white, blue, teal or orange. The device is compatible not only with HTC smartphones, it can smoothly work with all Android and iOS based devices of the latest versions. You can use your tablets or smartphones to change the slow-mo settings of your RE camera and actually app is the only way to do it. Also by pairing it with your smart devices using its Bluetooth LE you can manage the 3rd party options with an API or use the WiFi Direct for files transferring and all of the other features for reconfiguring your camera the way you want.
The water and dust resistance rating RE camera has is IPx7, which can be upgraded to IPx8 after an additional protective cap is bought. 840mAh battery is able to record up to an hour and 40 minutes of continuous 1080p video or 1,200 16MP photo shootings.
The periscope camera is already available for pre-order now at a cost of $200, though all of its advantages are null, when remembering the new GoPro Hero 4 action camera with an interface on the device and other reasonable options only at a twice higher price.
