Samsung Galaxy S6 Release Date and Price

The Samsung Galaxy S6 release date has been confirmed, with the newly unveiled flagship phone to hit UK retailers on April 10.

Set to launch in 20 countries in a little under six weeks, the April 10 S6 release date will see the handset go on sale just days after one of its biggest rivals.

Having debuted just hours before the Galaxy S6, the HTC One M9 release date had already been announced as March 31.

Like its flagship sibling, the innovative Galaxy S6 Edge – which features a three-sided display – will hit retailers on April 10.

Although Samsung has been outspoken on its Galaxy S6 release plans, there is currently no word on how much the handset – which will be offered in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB storage capacities – will set wannabe owners back.

A dramatic improvement on last year’s Galaxy S5, the S6 features a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with a 2560 x 1440 pixel QHD resolution.

Boasting wireless charging capabilities as standard, the S6 specs sheet is further enhanced by the addition of a 64-bit, octa-core Exynos processor, 3GB of RAM and a TouchWiz skinned Android 5.0 Lollipop OS.

With a 16-megapixel, OIS-enhanced camera on the rear and a 5-megapixel snapper up front, the S6 is shaping up as a true challenger to the iPhone 6 at the top of the smartphone stakes.

Galaxy S6 Colours: Five available at launch

The Samsung Galaxy S6 will be available in five different colours at launch, the Korean manufacturer has confirmed.

With the handset having taking its official bow at MWC 2015, it has been revealed the flagship phone will be offered up a new collection of tones.
Giving flagship phone hunters some choice in what hued handset adorns the next being for the next 12 to 24 months, the traditional black and white offerings are further enhanced by a trio of more vibrant options, namely gold, blue and green.

Of course, being a market-leading handset, these aren’t just ordinary colours, oh no.

The four official Galaxy S6 colours already announced are ‘White Pearl’, ‘Black Sapphire’, ‘Gold Platinum’, 'Blue Topaz' and ‘Green Emerald’.

The colour options are just one element of a dramatically reworked Galaxy S6 design which has seen Samsung pair a metal frame with a glass rear for an overall high-end look and finish.

As with the Galaxy S6, five S6 Edge colours will also be available. The innovative S6 Edge, which features a three sided display, will be offered in the same collection of paint jobs from day one.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 release date has been confirmed for April 10, with the handset to go on sale alongside the Edge.

Leak Prices

T-Mobile and other U.S. carriers will be hosting Galaxy S6 contests in the buildup to the device’s release date. Those that pre-register for the Galaxy S6 on T-Mobile between March 1 and March 26th could win a collection of Samsung devices including TVs, tablets and wearables. Buried deep in the contest’s rules is some information about the Galaxy S6 price.

On its contest rules page, T-Mobile notes that the Approximate Retail Value of the Samsung Galaxy S6 is $699. The carrier does not list the ARV for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge because it isn’t one of the prizes. This ARV could serve as the off-contract price of the Samsung Galaxy S6 in the United States though that remains unconfirmed.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 price and Galaxy S6 Edge price will likely remain in the shadows until U.S. carriers are ready to announce firm and specific Galaxy S6 release date details. And with a worldwide release set for April 10th, we should see the Galaxy S6 price for the U.S. emerge sometime between now and then.

As for the international community, it appears that the Galaxy S6 will be priced at €699 for the 32GB model, €799 for the 64GB version, and €899 for the 128GB model. International pricing typically does not match up exactly with U.S. pricing so these prices may not have any barring on the U.S. Galaxy S6 price.

SamMobile has confirmed potential pricing for the Galaxy S6 Edge. The publication says that Samsung officials told them that the Galaxy S6 Edge will be€150 more than the regular version. If that’s true, the Galaxy S6 Edge could be priced at €849, €949, and €1049. It’s still not clear how much of a difference we’ll see in the U.S. though the Galaxy Note Edge is $100 more than the Galaxy Note 4.
