Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S6 edge+ has been pictured for the first time ahead of its official unveiling. No, this isn’t a computer-generated render or a dummy phone for retail stores; it’s a real S6 edge+ in glamorous gold, and it sits alongside its little brother.

Recent reports have revealed that the S6 edge+, as its name suggests, will essentially be a larger version of the existing S6 edge — and these images confirm that to be the case. However, there are a few differences.

The S6 edge+ is obviously wider than the S6 edge, thanks to its larger 5.7-inch display. The microphones on the top and bottom edges of the device have also been relocated, and Samsung appears to have done away with its infrared sensor.

According to recent rumors, the S6 edge+ will have similar internals as the S6 edge, including the same octa-core Exynos 7420 processor with Mali-T760 graphics, 3GB of RAM, and up to 128GB of internal storage. It’s still unclear when Samsung will announce the device.
