XDA-Developers forum member reefur has posted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/picture-t3039837) photos of what's believed to be a prototype Samsung Galaxy S6 for AT&T. The tipster was understandably worried about giving it a spin, but he notes that this handset is "pretty slim" and more upscale than Galaxy S phones of the past. In addition to the expectedmetal frame (http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/21/samsung-next-galaxy-metal-teaser/), Samsung's usual plastic backing has been replaced with glass à la the iPhone 4 and Nexus 4 -- don't drop this, folks. There also doesn't appear to be either a removable battery or a microSD card slot, which is bound to disappoint some fans if this is what shows up at Samsung's March 1st event (http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/02/samsung-unpacked-2015-teaser/).
Update: We've added a side-by-side comparison with the Galaxy S6 Edge to the gallery as well.
