New Samsung Galaxy S6 leak shows the future handset's dimensions and port layout

Rumor mills have generated what seems to be solid information about the dimensions of Samsung's next flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S6. French leak expert Nowhere Else believes to have found drawings bearing clear-cut details about the size of what is presumed to be the upcoming handset. Analyzing the schematics, the site finalized that the device is set to measure 143.52 x 70.7 x 7.19 mm (5.65 x 2.78 x 0.28 inches). 

As GSM Arena mentioned, users who are worried about the smartphone being too cumbersome have nothing to fret about. Comparing it to its predecessor's dimension (142 x 72.5 x 8.1 mm), the overall sizes of the two are almost identical. In addition, Forbes reported that the Galaxy S6 will bear the same angular design present on the Galaxy S5. 

Another detail to get from the leaks is the size of the camera. According to GSM Arena, the casing as shown in the drawings allots a huge part of the alleged S6's rear for its rather large shooter and a sensor cluster. More so, a change in layout is also visible. As the site pointed out, Samsung places a power button on the right and a volume rocker on the left. Moreover, the bottom part of the case apportions a microphone, USB port and a speaker, much different from the S5, which has these components on its rear. At the top of the shell, there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack alongside a secondary noise-cancelling microphone.

Interestingly, case manufacturer Spigen lists Galaxy S6 cases in stock on April 13 this year. In the Amazon listing, the Spigen Air Cushion Bumper Galaxy S6 case houses an aluminum-framed S6 with a front and back glass panel.

It has long been speculated that Samsung will introduce the Galaxy S6 during the Mobile World Congress in March. If this comes to pass, it is highly likely that the South-Korean tech firm will put it up on the market by April.
