With the impending release of Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, major retailers are getting ready for a large number of pre-orders for Samsung’s latest “toys”. Amazon and Best Buy have created pre-order pages where you can register live. Other retailers, like Costco, Wal-Mart or Target, will surely be following in their footsteps in a very short period of time.
With only a few weeks remaining until the release, these pages already went online so users can sign up and receive the newest news regarding the two gadgets. Similar pages from leading U.S. providers (T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, U.S. Cellular and Sprint) went live as well.
Verizon was the first carrier in the U.S. to mention pre-order details and their customers will be able to order both phones starting with April 1.
People that register at Amazon.com until the 31 of March will be able to take advantage of their unique offer. They will receive a virtual coupon that they can use to buy accessories for the Samsung Galaxy S6 as well as for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge at a discount rate and they can end up saving as much as $30. This offer does not require you to purchase a smartphone so basically you can use this discount to buy gifts for your friends or family.
Those of you that prefer buying from Sam’s Club, Target, Wal-Mart or Costco must not worry. On the 1st of March 2015 Samsung stated that the S6 and S6 Edge will also be available at the retailers mentioned above and registration pages are expected any day now.
One of the major improvements made by Samsung is the operating system (OS). They added the Android OS, v5.0.2 or better known as Lollipop which is a lot faster, more stable and by far more reliable than their previous Android based operating systems.
The first thing that you will notice when holding a Galaxy S6 or perhaps a Galaxy S6 Edge is the design. They have finally abandoned the plastic case that the previous Galaxy models had and, instead went for a more durable as well as more stylish approach. The body is made out of aluminum and glass that gives it a rather slick feel and look.
Both devices use a Quad 2.1GHz processor plus a Quad 1.5Ghz processor, adding up to a Octa-Core processor and I for one expect them be very fast smartphones.
Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge will be released on the 10 of April worldwide but it is reported that the major U.S. providers will begin selling them starting with April 11.
Pricewise, Samsung did not release any concrete information yet, but it is believed that they will be rather expensive:
- Samsung Galaxy S6 32 GB around $855
- Samsung Galaxy S6 64 GB around $970
- Samsung Galaxy S6 128 GB around $1085
- The Galaxy S6 Edge 32 GB around $850
- The Galaxy S6 Edge 64 GB around $950
- The Galaxy S6 Edge 128 GB around $1050
