— -- Samsung is having a laugh at all of the hoopla surrounding the rumored Galaxy S6 smartphone.

As Samsung fans try to decipher cryptic tweets from the company and glean clues from a slick profile photo posted to Instagram, the South Korean electronics giant released a hilarious parody page taking on the rumor mill.

While the big reveal is set to happen on Sunday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Samsung's Norwegian team brainstormed a list of outrageous rumors about the smartphone along with renderings of what the device would actually look like.

The Samsung "Is This the Next?" page features this image with the rumor, "Samsung is expected to release a flexible and foldable phone."

"Rumors point to an all-glass Samsung Galaxy," the website said, alongside a photo of a hypothetical crystal-clear smartphone.

Among the other rumors dreamed up by Samsung's team were a triangular smartphone -- perhaps a play on the real speculation that the Galaxy S6 will have a curved side similar to the Galaxy Note Edge. They also featured a bendable phone and another oval-shaped device with speakers that extend like wings.

While Samsung is keeping quiet on what may actually be in store for Sunday's event, hints dropped by Samsung include a new smartphone that has traded in its plastic backing for an all-metal frame.

Also expect the "next big thing" to be even faster and more efficient, possibly changing the frequency and way consumers can power up their devices.
