After the Galaxy S5, Samsung’s profits fell and Samsung faced a great criticism for not bringing up something new and something enchanting, the Galaxy S5 had the same old design, and packed up in all plastic. With the release of Samsung Galaxy S6, it looks like Samsung has learnt a great lesson and it is so anxious to jump back in the smartphone competition to gain its lost position back. Samsung’s CEO, JK Shin mentioned on the stage that Samsung listened to its customers and learn from its mistakes. We understand now that why Samsung named the Galaxy S6 project as “Project Zero”.
