New reports about Samsung's upcoming flagship smartphone have been rampant recently, claiming that the alleged Galaxy S6 will have unique features that will set it apart from its predecessors. 

For one, according to Samsung tipster website SamMobile, the unpopular TouchWiz feature of Samsung smartphones will become optional for the Galaxy S6.  The website reported that add-on features that users can download as apps will be removed, which will then result to a slimmer software. This is good news for those who want to get rid of the huge bloatware that current models possess, while those who need a particular app can easily download it anytime. 

Meanwhile, the possible release date and design of the upcoming flagship device from the South Korean consumer and electronics giant may have been accidentally released by a third party case maker. 

In the recent Amazon listing, the Spigen brand reportedly offers their latest Air Cushioned Bumper case for the unreleased Samsung Galaxy S6. The post for the smartphone case comes with an image of a device that features the rumored rear glass panel and aluminum frame that have been previously linked to the Galaxy S6. It also have a different camera placement compared to the current Galaxy S5, where the shooter's LED flash as well as the heart rate monitor is now located at the side of the camera and not under it anymore. 

The listing also states that the scratch-resistant case, which sells for $13.99, will come out on April 13. This could mean that the release date for the highly anticipated smartphone will be somewhat near that date. 

This is not the first time that Spigen released an image of a soon-to-launch smartphone using their new casing line ahead of the launch date. The company also advertised their cases meant for last year's LG G3, HTC One M8, as well as Nexus 5.
