{Samsung will announce its new flagship Galaxy phone on March 1 at an event in Barcelona.}<\/p>\n
The company sent invitations to the press Monday for one of its “Unpacked” events, which are used to announce its most important products like the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note line of phones.<\/p>\n
Sources familiar with Samsung’s plans told Business Insider the so-called Galaxy S6 will be made out of metal, a departure from the plastic designs the company has used in the past.<\/p>\n
There will also be a version of the Galaxy S6 with a curved screen, similar to the Galaxy Note Edge that launched last year.<\/p>\n
The invitation appears to give a glimpse at part of the device, and it does look like metal will be part of the new design.<\/p>\n
Finally, Samsung will announce a new smartwatch with a round design, according to sources.<\/p>\n
Samsung’s rival HTC is also expected to announce its new phone, the followup to the One M8, on March 1 at a separate event in Barcelona.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
