Galaxy S6 vs. iPhone 6: New video compares sizes using a Galaxy S6 mockup

We have seen dozens of leaks and rumors leading up to Samsung’s March 1st unveiling of its next-generation flagship smartphones. From the look of things, Samsung plans to unveil two smartphones during the annual Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona, Spain. One will be the Galaxy S6, a sleek new handset with cutting-edge specs that will be Samsung’s first phone to feel like a true premium handset. The second is rumored to be a slightly modified Galaxy S6 Edge version with the same specs, but it will have a screen that curves toward the back of the device on both sides. We’ve read the rumors, we’ve seen the schematics and we’ve watched the renders dance around on video. Now, however, a 3D printed Galaxy S6 dummy has been created and compared to Apple’s iPhone 6 on camera. DON’T MISS: Most stunning Galaxy S6 renders yet shown at every angle in new video Jermaine Smit, one of two graphic designers responsible for the great renders we saw in a video earlier on Friday, is back with a new video. This time, Smit used a 3D printer to create a model of the Galaxy S6 based on supposedly accurate device schematics that leaked some time ago. Using the model, Smit compares the presumed size of the Galaxy S6 to an actual iPhone 6, giving us what could be an exact look at how the two devices stack up against each other in terms of size. BGR exclusively reported in January that the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge will be made entirely out of glass and aluminum, and will feature cutting-edge specs including a quad HD display, a 64-bit octa-core processor, a 20-megapixel rear camera, up to 128GB of internal storage, a brand new mobile payment system based on LoopPay, and Android Lollipop.. Smit’s video follows below.

Sony launches mid-range Xperia E4 ahead of MWC

When it comes to their flagship offerings, Sony is covered for the most part, having debuted its new Xperia Z3 (review) less than six months ago. That leaves the highly competitive mid-range market, which still remains an area where pricing and a solid smartphone experience are highly valued commodities. To that end, Sony took the chance to debut its new mid-range Xperia E4 offering ahead of Mobile World Congress at the beginning of March.

So what does this new smartphone have in store? First up is a 5" qHD display (540x960), which seems a pretty apt move as most new mid-range devices are favouring this screen size. Although the E4 does not feature the distinctive aluminium frame we've come to expect from Xperia devices, it still looks well constructed, with a slightly curved back cover to make it sit better in hand. Sticking with the back, one will find a 5 MP primary camera which should offer solid if not spectacular images. Up front is a selfie-focused 2 MP one, leaving duck-faced posing users satisfied. Internally the E4 has all the hallmarks of a mid-range, more specifically a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor. Interestingly though this processor comes courtesy of Mediatek. A move that may have surprised most as the Xperia E3 sported Qualcomm's Snapdragon 400 unit. Added to this, is 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB worth of internal memory, with a microSD slot incorporated for those wanting some more space. As expected, Android is the OS of choice for the E4, with Sony heavily talking up the Android transfer feature for users to seamlessly import contacts from other OS touting devices.
