The Samsung Galaxy S6 might feature a double-edged display, which will be based on the concept used by the Galaxy Note Edge, according to the latest rumors.

But, according to a report, the design will be brought to another level.

Jerry Kang, who is a senior analyst with IHD Technology, thinks the phone “will sport a dual-edge display which will be curved on both the left and the right sides of the device,” via GforGames.

The Galaxy Note Edge had a curved screen on one side, but the S6 will be curved on both sides, he said. The Note Edge is a variant of the Note 4, and the curve displays notifications on the side.

Kang also said Samsung wanted to make the Note Edge curved on both sides but abandoned it for the current design.

Meanwhile, a report from leak site Sammobile.com says that the Galaxy S6 is codenamed “Project Zero.”

“As SamMobile exclusively revealed yesterday, Samsung is developing the Galaxy S6 – codenamed Project Zero – from scratch in a bid to make it the best Galaxy S flagship we’ve seen yet, and soon after we released details on Project Zero, we were given more information on the S6 by our insiders, including info on its preliminary specifications,” the site claims.

The S6 will have a “display with a Quad HD (2560×1440),” the Galaxy Note 4 camera sensor IMX240, and storage that entails 32, 64 and 128GB variants, the report says.

“According to information we’ve received, Samsung will be going with the brand new Exynos 7420, which will be a fully 64-bit chip with four Cortex-A53 and four Cortex-A57 cores. The Exynos 5433 is also a 64-bit chip, but Samsung hasn’t enabled 64-bit support on the Galaxy Note 4, likely because the Snapdragon 805 used in most models of the Note 4 is a 32-bit processor, and also because Android doesn’t support 64-bit support until Android 5.0 Lollipop,” Sammobile also said.
