Samsung is working to make its forthcoming Galaxy S6 smartphone better than any other comparable product currently available. Not only will it have top-notch specs — including a fast CPU, GPU, great camera and a ton of RAM — but also few special accessories in the form of smart covers.

These smart (back) covers, according to Polish website Android.com.pl, will extend the capability of the phone and enable new functionalities. For instance, one of the covers will allow connecting additional lenses to the S6’s camera, and another will introduce an e-ink display for reading books.

mHealth-wise, there will be a cover that can measure the blood sugar level and sync the data collected with the S-Health app; and one that turns the Galaxy S6 into a personal trainer of sorts by allowing users to connect to different fitness machines such as bikes, steppers and more.

The Korean company is expected to announce the Galaxy S6 at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
