Samsung has revealed at MWC 2015 that its next generation of smartphones, the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, will be available on April 10th.

No price points have been announced for either yet. However, Samsung has noted that the S6 Edge will be sold at a higher price.

The S6 is the standard model, while the S6 Edge boasts a curved screen on both sides of the phone.

Both models are made out of metal and glass. The plastics of the S5 are gone.

For those of you into your tech, they run on an octacore Samsung Exynos processor, 3GB of RAM, have 5.1-inch QHD Super AMOLED displays.

They come with either 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of internal storage.

Fancier bits include 16-megapixel cameras with optical image stabilization, a fingerprint sensor in the home button, an infrared heart-rate monitor.

It's also said to have USB charging that's 1.5 times faster than what the S5 managed. Plus, it supports Qi and PMA wireless charging.

As you'd expect, it also has integrated support for Samsung Pay.
