If you can’t live without root access on your Android, you’ll be pleased to know that there is already a root method for Samsung’s all-new Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge — weeks before they even go on sale.

Having spent more than a year throwing smartwatch concepts a wall, only to discover that very few of them stick, Samsung’s taking a bit of a break from the wearables game.
But a newly-unearthed patent suggests that the South Korean tech giant could come back with a vengeance, thanks to a ripoff Apple concept bold new interface design based around an iPod-style rotating bezel. The idea would be that this rotating bezel could allow users to scroll through different apps, lists and menus without having to obscure the miniature display with their finger.
So, yeah, it’s basically the Apple Watch’s digital crown idea — only “different” enough to not be a direct analog.

Over the past few years, Samsung has been following up its flagship devices with Active variants that are tougher and more robust than the originals, and sources say that the South Korean company plans to do the same for the Galaxy S6.
But this time around, those who buy the Active edition won’t get a watered-down handset with lesser specifications, because the Galaxy S6 Active is expected to be just as exciting as the original on the inside.
