*** The Official Samsung Galaxy S6/Edge Thread ***

[Slyman2k4]

how is everyone finding their units? £725 is a tad steep for a phone. But I haven't bought any tech in a while...

Went into the Three shop on Oxford St. and asked if they had the S6 Edge - they initially said no, but then offered me one of the pre-orders they were holding! Awesome staff there!

Not so awesome for the person they were holding it for.

Which variant edge is it? I'm considering popping over after work.

Nice! Completely scratch free? I'm guessing you've seen the thread on XDA? See below if not:

Nope no scratches on mine. I can't even see the greenish tint on the edges that other people were noticing.

Yey. My black edge 64GB has arrived from CPW..

Zero scratches, Zero weird colour tints. Pretty much perfect. Turned off Iphone 6 plus already..

This phone feels nice,

got my black 32 s6 from vodafone

no wireless charger or case!

vodafone chat said there was an issue with these and that they will be delivered in next 7 days

Eh? It's a T-Mobile shop that customers are queuing outside of....nothing to do with Samsung...

It clearly has everything to do with Samsung.

Think I'm almost certainly getting a black model, then a matte black skin from dbrand. Looks super sleek with it.

Something like this.

Mine is delivered, 64GB Edge in Black from Voda

Can't see any scratches, looks good to me

Received mine at noon, not had much time with it but visually it is a stunning looking phone. Build quality is very good, however I did notice my camera module isn't centered, i doubt it will affect the function so I'm not going to be anal about it and send it back.

Big image...

Need to claim the fitbit online

Edit, I can see a lot of these getting dropped, quite a slippy devil.

 

[dbmzk1]

Pretty sure that's by design - I've had many phones where the camera is similar.

 

[Cosimo]

It's here...

Are you happy with yours?

 

[azibux1]

Never noticed that before on any phone, but yes, my S6 Edge is also like that

 

[hardtarget]

S6 Edge Gold 64Gb being delivered between 11-12

Not getting mine till next week When did you order yours and who with?

 

[Sweey]

Same view here. Apparently I was notified of the estimated availability upon purchase but I don't recall seeing that date. When you call up the online store they are next to useless and do not bother to apologize for the delay despite the carriers receiving stock several weeks earlier!

On the pre-order launch day, early pre-orders said April 9th. During the morning that moved back to April 24th which has continued to be the date since then and is the one I pre-ordered at the following day. I just can't recall whether it said 9th or 24th when you pre-ordered - convinced I knew at the time.

so then.... no sort apps by alphabetical order option???

Beautiful phone though and very snappy, just downloading the btu rom as my voda one has no update yet

Yes there is, seen it in reviews. Options in app drawer.

Ditch that lame launcher for Google Now or Nova.

First time with an android. I just signed up to the samsung account - was this a mistake? Is it just bloatware?

I didn't bother after my complete factory reset before I put LP on my s4 but you may get some worthy freebies with the s6.
