Samsung Galaxy S6 To Have Simplified TouchWiz User Interface
Samsung Electronics will reportedly make changes to the TouchWiz user interface (UI) of its next flagship Galaxy S6 smartphone , scheduled to be unveiled at MWC 2015 in Barcelona, Spain. The company is planning to save memory resources and improve the UI's functions by strengthening core features and eliminating unnecessary ones, industry sources told the Korea Times.
A similar approach has been already followed by Google in the Google Nexus 6, which utilizes a basic UI provided by Android OS without a separate UI. The Nexus 6 was introduced to the U.S. in November of last year.
TouchWiz has been used as a differentiation factor, starting with the Galaxy S3. The model added new functions that recognize vital signs such as facial movements, voice, and hand gestures with the concept of human-focused UI. Since then, Samsung has revealed an upgraded TouchWiz with new functions whenever launching smartphones.
In related news, a new budget smartphone from Samsung using a 64-bit processor is possibly on the way, according to leaked images.The Galaxy J-series appears to be a new entry-level collection, starting with the Galaxy J1 and its 4.3-inch 800x480 display.
Information released by Sam Mobile, accompanied by alleged marketing images. What we have is an 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core Marvell processor, with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of storage, expandable by microSD. It will have a rear 5-megapixel camera and front-facing 2-megapixel version, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Android OS and a 1,850mAh battery.
Its launch is suggested it could be as soon as January 14, as the images show that date on the phone screens.
