The anticipated Samsung Galaxy S6, which leaks have thus far tipped to launch on March 2 at MWC, has once again been leaked, with new details indicating the handset might sport a design similar to the iPhone 6.

Additionally, an official user agent profile of the SM-G920A handset (a series that was leaked last year and was believed to be a model number of one of the Galaxy S6 variants) on Samsung website has tipped a 5-inch display size.

A Twitter user named Antonio Monaco has posted an image purportedly showing the Samsung Galaxy S6 blueprint. Unfortunately, the tweet doesn't detail much more about the handset except the name.

The leaked image shows the Galaxy S6's alleged blueprint with curved side edges and looks that are clearly inspired by the Apple iPhone 6.

The home button seen in the Galaxy S6 blueprint, which has been a differentiating factor for Galaxy handsets, looks more circular than seen on the Samsung Galaxy S5. Other features seen in the leaked image are Micro-USB and headphone ports at the bottom panel; slew of sensors seen on top of the display, and volume rocker buttons on the left panel. Another feature visible on the handset is the volume rocker buttons on the left panel.

Another leak citing Indian import/ export site, Zauba, shows the Samsung SM-G920V and SM-G920F handsets were shipped in December and January to India. First spotted by Maktechblog, the Samsung smartphones were shipped from the South Korea, and had a declared value in the range between Rs. 18,000 and Rs. 26,000. One of the most highlighted features being noted on the import/ export site was that the Samsung SM-G920V sports a 5-inch display (unspecified resolution).

To be noted is that import/ export website price listings are only declared values, and usually are not accurate reflections of actual market price.

Notably, this is not the first time a possible Samsung Galaxy S6 variant has been spotted at Zauba. Previously, a Samsung device codenamed SM-G430 was spotted at Zauba and was tipped to sport a 5.5-inch display (unspecified resolution).

In the meanwhile a Samsung handset with model number SM-G920A has surfaced on the user agent profile section of Samsung's website. The user agent profile listing of the Samsung SM-G920A handset suggests a Quad-HD display with a resolution of 1440x2560 pixels and a rear camera of 16-megapixels. According to earlier leaked details, the Samsung Galaxy S6 with model number SM-G920A is the AT&T carrier variant.

Late last week, popular case maker Spigen listed Galaxy S6 cases ahead of the smartphone's official launch. Now, another case maker over the weekend has teased cases for the yet-to-be-announced Galaxy S6. Verus (via Phonearena) teased the case for the Galaxy S6 on its Facebook page that partially shows the handset.

We remind readers however, that nothing is official yet, and that all such leaks must be taken with a pinch of salt.
