After currency conversion on .de it comes to £503 delivered.

Sounds too much? I had it worked out to £476.

Find out what your bank charges for foreign transactions and see if it is cheaper. My credit card uses the visa rate and doesn't charge fees so was the best part of £20 cheaper.

Wondering if its better to buy from the UK site but go for one of the other sellers. There's one selling brand new unopened s6 for £459.

It depends on the exchange rate at the time of conversion. The Euro has been up and down for fun in the last few months.

If I pay in Euros it is £486 delivered from .de

Is that a worthwhile saving?

I'd take the saving, it all counts and it's better in your pocket than some British profiteer.

Today i received:

amFilm Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Galaxy S6 Case - Ringke FUSION - Crystal View

Case is nice for £5, nice and grippy and ports have covers, buttons feel nice when pressed also screen and camera protected (lay on table design)

The Tempered Glass has a slight Halo but not very noticeable due to the phone being white, it will do until i find another one to get (full coverage)

White looks nice, definitely like it over black.

lmfy2k · 30 May 2015 at 22:56

My last few phones have been black and other colours so thought I'd get white this time around.

lmfy2k · 31 May 2015 at 00:53

Well. After first charge out of the box I got 4.5hrs screen on time over 16 hrs with about 8% left on battery.

for me definely a charge every night phone.

Will see how it does over the next few days

Loving the speed of the phone

Nope, but vodafone have received the update if you don't mind the bloat.

It's not really an issue for me, I tend to close apps rather than leave them in memory so I quite like the way the aggressive memory management.

just seems weird that BTU is newer than the vodafone one yet still no memory fix

Erm... is there a smart phone you don't need to charge every night, after 4 hours of SoT.

I'm in a similar position I'm gona buy from .de but I don't know whether to be a cheap ass and buy white, a chav and buy gold/plat or be the conservative norm I normally inhabit and buy very dark blue.

Bought white, I didn't like the black/blue in the 3 store so I went against all my instincts with the white while a couple of cans in, I would have had the gold but it wasn't gold enough.

Not yet though, i lost my wallet and my cards are cancelled so both my s6 order and more importantly my ps4 gtav and witcher are blocked both can hold for 3 days so I'm hoping my new cards come tomorrow morning or I've lost the ps4 deal and my phone will be delayed.

The two updates came out almost simultaneously, so I guess Samsung was working on both at the same time. For some reason the RAM fix didn't get incorporated into the update that was much more widely distributed. Guess we're waiting for 5.1.1 now...

lmfy2k · 31 May 2015 at 13:36

You reckon the btu will get 5.1.1 first?

kitch9 · 31 May 2015 at 16:40

Hmmm, just ordered a 64gb in black now I'm seeing that that Samsung are supplying two different camera sensors ond one isn't as good as the other and of course the reviewers got the better Sony sensor equipped model.

Not sure what to do, is there anyway to tell which camera sensor is fitted on the box?

Z3, 2 days, 7-8h SOT says hello
