Multiple Back Covers For Galaxy S6 To Bring Additional Functionality

Its another day and there’s another Galaxy S6 rumor. There have been many particularly over the past couple of weeks as Mobile World Congress 2015 draws near and Samsung’s announcement of its upcoming flagship gets hyped up. The latest rumor suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S6 is going to have a proprietary connector on the back that will bring support for multiple back covers, these covers will add more functionality to the device.

The rumors come from an unnamed source that spoke to a Polish website and claimed that these new optional back covers for Galaxy S6 will bring advanced functionality that has previously not been present on Samsung devices.

One example provided is of a back cover that’s capable of measuring blood sugar level and then sending that information straight to the S Health app. Another cover may bring an E-Ink display which would allow users to read e-books without bleeding battery life.

There are also rumors of a cover that will allow users to connect lenses to the Galaxy S6’s camera. These are claimed to be Samsung’s own ideas and the company is said to open this up to developers so that they can try their hand at this as well.

Samsung has not yet confirmed when it plans on announcing the Galaxy S6. It is expected to unveil an Edge variant as well. Recent reports suggest the announcement may be made on March 2nd, 2015.
