As February ends, the Mobile World Congress approaches. To date, the MWC is known as one of the biggest smartphone events because it features several brands and their flagship releases. This year, some of the anticipated launches are the Samsung Galaxy S6, HTC One M9 including announcements from Qualcomm and Microsoft.

Expectations are high for Samsung to reveal the Galaxy S6 during its Unpacked Event. The anticipation also became higher following Samsung's release of a teaser video. According to the company's tweet:

A longer teaser was posted on Samsung's YouTube with a photo teaser on the company's Instagram. Based from the tweets and teasers, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is shaping up to be a premium device more than its predecessors. T-Mobile CEO John Legere has also tweeted a photo of the device:

The Samsung Galaxy S6 appears more like the Note Edge although the S6 appears to feature the two sides curved. Likewise, the dark gray metal back finish seems like a testament to Samsung's initiative to become a more premium handset provider. Samsung is expected to release two versions of the device with the following features: 5.1-inch displays, 21-megapixel rear, 5-megapixel front camera, Exynos 7420 chipsets, 3GB RAM, 2K screen and 2600 mah batteries. Many expect the Samsung Galaxy S6 to be the company's answer to Apple's highly successful iPhone 6 series.

As for the HTC One M9, the online listing, on the other hand, reveals the following specs: 2GHz octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor, 32GB microSD and 32GB RAM. Moreover, the device will feature an UltraPixel camera to the front with rear offering 20-megapixel sensor. Likewise, the listing has also revealed the ONe M9 to run with the Android 5.0 Lollipop.
