It's looking like the new Samsung Galaxy S6 could be coming out sometime in the first quarter of 2015, likely in early March. Should you wait until then, or stick with the Galaxy S5?

Let's take a look at the features for both phones.

GALAXY S5

The Galaxy S5 came out in April of 2014 and it includes a 5.1 inch touch (1080 x 1920 pixels and 16M colors) screen protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

The Galaxy S5 also features 16 GB or 32 GB of internal storage. It also accepts extrernal storage up to 128 GB via a microSD slot. Unlike recent and upcoming Galaxy Notes, the S5 only includes 2 GB of RAM.

The durable Galaxy S5 is water resistant up to 1 meter for 30 minutes in duration.

Battery life is supported by a Li-Ion 2800 mAh battery. Mileage will vary, but the Galaxy S5 could get up to 21 hours of talk time on a single charge.

One problem with the S5 to some owners is the build quality. Like the Galaxy S4, the S5 feels and looks a little cheap, due to it being made of plastic rather than aluminum.

Another problem with the S5 was the failure of Samsung to put a 64-bit chip in it, as Apple did with its most recent iPhone 5s. There were rumors that the company might, but Samsung just couldn't make it in time for the S5's release.

GALAXY S6

So what can we expect out of the Galaxy S6? We can only guess at some of the features but some definite improvements over the S5 are expected.

Expect a stronger, even more durable case, which we hope will be made out of aluminum this time. A stronger, better build would track with Samsung's progress from the S4 to S5, the latter of which does feel more solid than its predecessor.

Better battery life could help the S6 last longer as well. If Samsung can up the battery to a 3000 mAh battery or find a way to make the 2800 mAh last longer, and also include wireless charging standard, it could stay competitive against other next-generation smartphones.

Also, the 64-bit processor, which Samsung and other chip manufacturers have been working on, has to make it in time for next year's release. Samsung has plenty of time and there's no excuse for sticking with a last-generation system on a chip, come 2015. But we'll have to wait and see!

The screen resolution is likely to improve, but it likely won't get dramatically better. Korea recently l got an updated Galaxy S5 with a Quad HD screen, and U.S. consumers will likely get a similar 1440 x 2650p resolution screen come next year, after the rumored Galaxy Note 4 likely comes out first with what looks to be the new industry-standard resolution.

Finally, Samsung has been showing off its bendable, curvy screens lately.

Could the S6 have a curved screen like this? We'll have to wait and see.
