The Samsung Galaxy S6 may not be the only flagship phone Samsung's launching at MWC this year, as there's also been talk of a Galaxy S6 Edge variant that takes after the curved Galaxy Note Edge. This rumour has been given even more credence today, as the curved model of the S6 has supposedly been spotted in not one, but two benchmarking apps (AnTuTu and GeekBench), revealing that it could potentially be one of the most powerful phones ever made when it launches later this year.
According to MyDrivers, it scored a massive 60,978 in AnTuTu, which is the highest score ever recorded. This is even faster than the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, which had been holding the top spot with its score of 50,829. The Galaxy S5, meanwhile, had a score of 46,557. If true, this would mean a significant boost in performance for the S6 and the S6 Edge compared to last year's handsets.
The AnTuTu leak also shows details of the phone's specification and screen size, fuelling the current theory that the S6 and its curved variant will be powered by one of Samsung's own Exynos chips rather than a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
Can't wait for the Galaxy S6? Here's everything you need to know
As you can see from MyDrivers' screengrab below, the Galaxy S6 Edge will supposedly have a 5.1in 2,560x1440 resolution display, a 2.1GHz Samsung Exynos 7420 chip, 3GB of RAM an ARM Mali-T760 GPU and a 20-megapixel rear facing camera. It will also run Android 5.0.2 and have 32GB of onboard storage. This is largely in line with previous AnTuTu leaks for the S6, although it seems the S6 Edge will have a smaller screen than the rumoured 5.5in display on the S6.
If that wasn't enough, PhoneArena has also spotted the S6 Edge in the GeekBench results, showing that it could be even more powerful than Apple's iPad Air 2. The key figure here is its multi-core score of 5,077, which is almost 500 points above Apple's latest tablet, which currently holds the top score. That's pretty impressive, as it should mean lightning fast performance that's far and above anything else that's currently available on the market.
The single-core score isn't quite as impressive, as the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and the Nexus 9 tablet have all managed higher scores, but we doubt any difference in speed will become a noticeable bugbear when the handset actually launches.
