darn it, this phone is making me unfaithful to the note line - Galaxy S6 Edge General

I have always been faithful to the note line and always upgraded to the latest models, but i cannot lie that the s6 edge is truly the first line from the "S" models that will make me go for a smaller phone. Anybody feeling the same way?
the emerald green keeps shouting *buy me buy me* lol

The Edge is a thing of true beauty..however I'm sure the Note 5 will be spectacular and I just can't return to the 'Dark Side' of small phones

Yep, I have the Note 4, but that S6 Edge looks like a thing of beauty, and I haven't really used the S-pen as much as I thought. And a slightly smaller, pocket friendly phone would be okay.
So I have preordered the green S6 Edge. Couldn't resist!

Hold your money i would say. Note 5 will bring this little piece to shame. Trust me note line is the real landmark of Samsung.

Well, I live in Denmark, so it probably won't help you, but ordered it at callme.dk
Should arrive on the 11th of April, they said.

Un saudi no word yet of the green one

me too, going from the note 3 to the edge because the n4 wasn't enough of an upgrade for me. I fully expect to be selling the edge to pay for a note 5 when it comes out tho

Danish here myself, and the green one wont arrive until june. It even says in stock unknown with callme if you check. All other colors will arrive on the 10th except green. If you check everywhere else in Denmark you will se they all say green wont arrive until June. So you are in for a long wait unless you pick a different color.

Bugger, that doesn't sound good. Strange they don't tell me then.

Here in US I'm seriously thinking about it but... I got the very expensive ($900) Note Edge 1st day out. This phone is awesome once you master customizing the edge screen. After using it for awhile it feels very natural. unless you own one it's very hard to understand just how useful the edge is. Don't get me wrong though, I am going to buy the S6Edge but only because it's shinny and new. "The Galaxy Note 5 Edge* is the only real upgrade for me. If the 32g Note Edge cost me $900.(which is the most expensive device I ever purchased) I guess the newly designed metal and glass 128g Galaxy Note 5 Edge will cost? $OMG$

haha for sure.
but for a different perspective, when the note edge was released in the middle east it was around 1100 USD. the 32 gb s6 edge is around 826 USD on launch

I've just been in contact with them, because I wanted to know if this was true. Thankfully, they said that I preordered it early enough to be in the 'first wave' that gets it on the 10th/11th of April. So that makes me happy!
But of course it's not good news for people who ordered later/too late, and therefore have to wait until the 'second wave' of the green Edge phones arrive.
UPDATE: Bugger. In spite of their promise, they have now told me that it will be delayed to late may or beginning of June...

Preordering Edge

I can't seem to find anywhere to pre-order the note edge. I want a contract-free unlocked phone.

I did it at www.clove.co.uk .
I don't know in wich country you are living in but ask them about the region lock thing, they should be able to unlock it for you if this is the case.
Cheers~
How much are they charging? Or is it just a waiting list. I emailed them asking about dates, prices, and lock. Will update when I get a reply.
Any other shops out there?

I hope it is that soon.
I live in the US. I know that the Note 4 will be coming out in October of this year.
Then they said the note edge will be released before the end of this year. I did read somewhere that the Canada release was going to be the bring of 2015 and it would be after the US launch.
either way I am getting this phone ASAP.
Just pre ordered the black version of Edge from Clove in UK. Hope Samsung releases the phone soon.
Preordering in Romania
Hi there!
In Romania you can preorder the 64 gb version on quickmobile.ro at a price of about 1.000 euros!!!!
A bit too much if you ask me! (taxes included).
Lol isn't that too much must be an error
I saw this ebay ad for a Galaxy Note Edge pre-order for £559 with est delivery for 28 October to 4t Nov.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171485130761?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&fromMakeTrack=true
Seems a bit doggy - title was misleading, it says Galaxy Note 4 Edge. So I asked the following questions:
1. Can you confirm it's the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or the Galaxy Note Edge you're selling? It's confusing because the title says Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Edge.
2. Is this UK or International version?
3. Are you selling the 32GB or 64GB model?
4. Since this is a pre order, what are your policy on cancellation?
Got this reply back:
Hi
Follow the below link ..
www.samsung.com/uk/GalaxyNote4
2GB RAM+16GB ROM
Product is full uk spec version.
1 year warranty

Now I am convinced its doggy!
But aren't the international versions lacking the proper LTE bands? I really don't want to spend that much $ and not get LTE!

I am considering buying this from Japan via internet, I wanted to know the following:
If Samsung releases updates firmware, will I be able to update the phone?
Is there anything else I need to watch out for?
Many thanks in advance.

I saw them on ebay for $999.
And yes they will have the branding on the battery back.
And some wont have the LTE since the US uses a different brand for it.
Its best to just wait till he hits your area and buy it then.

Yep, its the one on ebay. I asked seller some questions about it working in UK, they replied back saying it won't work on all carriers. I will probably have to give up on that one.
The problem is no one has even the faints of idea when it would come to UK. I don't want to wait for months. Might force myself to buy the Note 4.

Waiting is better then giving in for something you don't want or spending money on something that might not work for you.
When they had talk about the note 4 I wasn't to much in to it.
I had an s2 for a very long time. Everybody ask when I was going to upgrade to the s3. But i didnt want it since it wasn't that big of a difference. Then the htc one m7 came out so I got that since it was a bigger upgrade for me.
then I got the note 3 from there.
And I know how samsung does things and knew it wouldn't be a big leap. From my note 3 to the note 4.
But then I hear about the edge and I've been waiting that phone since they show the tech demo last year.
So Yea wait for what you really want. Or you could rock the note 4 and sell it when the edge is released in your area.
or you can blow a hole in your wallet and buy both haha

Thanks for you advice. I agree with what you're saying, I know I'll never be entirely happy and will always be looking out for the Edge. But not knowing when, if ever it will come to my country is the problem.
Avenging,
Wish I could buy both but that won't happen.
I think I'll get N4 now and sell it off as soon as the Edge becomes available.

s6/s6 edge middle east users

Jarir and extra are having the same prices, unfortunately only 2 colors are available now according to extra's websites.
both s6 and s6 edge are priced much lower than the note 4 and note edge
https://www.extrastores.com/en-sa/search?page=1&q=S6
Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920 32GB Black

When I saw this image on the FMP Facebook page, I rushed to my nearest location thinking that they had the S6 on display at these locations. Unfortunately they didn't have jack.
A samsung bahrain salesperson told me that the green will come in 2 months
When will it be available in Jarir store? Anyone has a clue? I hope Saudi Arabia will be included in the global release on the 10th. I still hadn't got any email from Jarir

I got their email too but I am here in Az Zulfi and will go to Riyadh on the 9th. The email said they will hold the unit until 9. A free case? I was wishing it would be the wireless charger. LOL. What is the case?
Anyway, my friend pre ordered on the first day too a 32 GB edge Gold. And he received an email saying it is not available. Instead they are offering the normal s6 in white and black or edge 64 gb black.
Can you take a photo of the case they are giving as a gift?
Also have you seen this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/flash-lit-t3069039
Can you check if this issue is found in your S6?
Last question. Did you buy a screen protector in Jarir or any other cases if they are available?

I would have loved the Wireless charger too! The case is the 'Clear Cover' case from their official accessory list - I'm at work now and couldn't take a pic but here it is:
It's hard plastic but pretty useless as it provides quite minimal protection. Jarir do have other official cases available like the flip and view cases.
I can confirm that my S6 and my friends S6 both have the issue decribed in the linked thread - though its pretty hard to see it in mine, it's definitely there.
Another thing, the shipping firmware for the Saudi region is ANCIENT, almost prototype like - dated 28th Feb! It doesn't even have alphabetical sorting of the apps yet and the battery is so terrible that its almost unusable. I charged it to 100% yesterday and used it at half brightness for 1 hour and 41 minutes and the battery fell to 17%. Let it charge again overnight, woke up at 6:00am and haven't touched it at all because I'm scared and saw at 8:30am that it fell to 67% without any usage. I think they're not letting retailers sell it before the 10th because they're going to push out an update that the user is to download immediately.
shoudlnt you be getting an update as soon as you open it? i remember the note 4 when i bought it asked immediately to be updated and i hope that fixes your batatery problem
I think samsung rushed the phone to be released but the battery should not be that bad at all as I know.. I'm trying to get my device soon and let's see if I'll have the same issues or not

No note 5 for uk

I am absolutely disappointed by this!
Terrible move by Samsung for not releasing this in the UK.. Kick in the teeth
Time to think about changing brands
Apparently no 128gb model either. A person on a forum linked a Verizon page showing a 128gb, but Verizon is stating was a place holder for the launch and based on S6 offering one. I guess
a few days/weeks to see if Samsung changes their tune and then months before one could be added to the line up and landed to consumers.
EU actually.
the entire continent is missing out on the note 5, not just the little island in the west.
In fact Samsung now offer more or less only one phone in two sizes and with our without round edges (S6/edge/edge+ and note 5) and then they castrate themselves by taking the note from 1/3 of the world market with the argument that the phones were too similar and they would fear a cannibalism effect like they suffered already with S6 and S6edge. If they would had designed the note 5 differently and had given it besides the pen other differentations like replaceable batteries, plastic housing, sd card and water proofness they could have addressed different potential customers and they would not had the need to withdraw it from Europe.
Almost like Samsung is being mind controlled by Apple, since Apple could not hope for a "better" product to go against with the new iPhone 6+.
What a stupid decision are Samsung determined too cede their market share to their rivals.
At the most it may appear in the EU next year.
http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note5_will_not_launch_in_europe_this_year-news-13534.php
This article contains an updated statement from Samsung.
http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/13/...d_Classic&utm_campaign=Engadget&ncid=rss_semi
It has to come to Europe. I am defiant by that statement. Even if it will be in 2016.
I still think it's ridiculous though. I thought, I'll skip the Note 4 and get the 5, and then it's delayed by six months.
The market availability of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will vary according to consumer needs and the specific market situation. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will be introduced in the US and Asian markets in August and we will look at further opportunities to launch the Galaxy Note 5 in other markets.

What about the MENA region??
Short story of my day...
"Uhhh, can't wait for the new Note 5 as I wanted a replacement for my Note 3."
Samsung: No SD card.
"Okay, not fond of it but I will survive."
Samsung: Can't change battery.
"Ahh dammit, but still want it."
"Actually just shut up and take my money!"
Samsung: F... you, we won't sell it to you.
(Flips table)
Imo this was a very risky, bold move by not releasing this in the uk. But when you think about it korea and china constantly get phones that the uk and us dont. Im not going to bash them becuase i have an s6 and love it. We all should of known the note would be nothing but an overblown s6. Just like the nexus 6 was a moto x 2014 on steriods. Id assume once sales drop for sammy they will come to their senses and at least bring back an sd card on the s7 and note 6. Not much different than the "flagship killer" oneplus2 with no nfc or the m9 that was just a m8. Not a great year for new devices.

yup, I love my S6, had to buy it because my moto x 2014 broke but I really wanted to wait for the note5. I was still ready to get the note5 when it would come out but this phone is not even a straight upgrade from the s6, why did they remove the IR blaster?
By the looks of it the AT&T model supports the UK 4G bands (3, 7 & 20).
My girlfriend is currently in the States and returns in early September.
If she purchased one direct from an AT&T store to bring back for me, how long do you think I'd have to wait before people were able to offer unlock codes for them so I could use one with a Three UK sim card?
Apple here I come!!!
Samsung touch wiz still an issue. Had the s6 Edge which was cool but battery was poor and poor. Probably same issue with s6 Edge + and the price will be another deciding factor..
HTC pretty much quiet next couple of years due to loss after loss.
Moto x just not premium enough.
Chinese phones just don't get to us in time.
So apple it is.. Nooooooo

Limited colors for S7 and S7 Edge

Anyone else disappointed that it'll only come in Black Onyx and Gold Platinum for the S7 while the S7 Edge will also come in Silver Titanium? I wonder if it's because of supply issues due to releasing it earlier this year.

I wouldn't think so. The colors them selves are just paint or stickers.
I do not think so, there should be 1 distinctions
From the looks of it, the UK only seems to be getting gold or black anyway. No sign of white or silver on the S7 or S7 Edge. Would love someone to correct me though. I really want a silver S7 Edge...
On a related note, the UK/EU website make no mention of a free GearVR for pre-orders (the US site does). That's despite their presentation saying that Europe would be getting that perk.
Canada seems to be getting a black/silver s7 and black s7 edge, strange that all colors are not available.

Good news indeed. Although I ran out of patience and ordered through CPW!
They make the white Note 5 and after a few months, they dont make it anymore. Dont know why the color stop.
I was bummed to find out that Samsung has only made the Black and Gold color options available-- I was really hoping to get the Silver or White. And, according to the Samsung rep, they don't why the decision was made or when the other 2 colors will be made available.
I'm hoping Samsung will surprise us and release the other colors on March 11 and I'll exchange the Gold I pre-ordered for one of the new colors.

CWH is not giving the gear VR with sim free purchases.
I ended up pre-ordering the S7 Edge in black, since the other two colors are too reflective (which looks tacky to me) and there is no white option. I wish they would have made them less reflective.
I ordered my s7 in black.. it was a no brainer since I thing gold is tacky... I would have ordered it in white if it was available.

They are if you look at their terms and conditions. I phoned to double check as well. The first person I spoke to said the same, until I showed her the website and she checked with her manager.
SIM free orders have to wait up to 5 days for delivery of the headset after the phone though.

It's will be available SOME day lol
By the way - at Verizon, the Gear VR/G2 promotion is only available if you purchase the phone at full price through their payment plan... Luckily, I get my phone through work and am still grandfathered into unlimited data so I just used another work line's available upgrade.

Canadian samsung galaxy s8 plus discussion

Hello fellow Canadians ,
Let's get it started , I already have preorder my gs8+ in black from Samsung website. So let's start the discussions on it.
Edit:
As on June 2, only exynos version can be rooted. So do your self a favor and get that model instead

Technically speaking Samsung Canada contracts out their sales to two different companies. One runs the Samsung Experience stores that have a physical presence in certain malls. Online sales are handed off to Tech Data Canada which is based in Mississauga Ontario.
Pre ordered mine from Telus. Was going to do samsung too until I saw that they are not getting the timely updates one would expect. Unlocked s7/edge is still on Marshmallow. Yuk! Anyway super stoked. Telus might start shipping for as early as the 17th. Fingers crossed! [emoji4]

I might cancel my order from Samsung website and order from koodo. They got the silver one

I won't ever order an unlocked phone again. The Galaxy S7 Edge unlocked phone (G935U) still doesn't have nougat. It just got March security updates and the last ones were December. On top of that, the people that preordered the Gear S3 from Samsung Canada, had to wait over a month from those who ordered from Best Buy.

That's exactly my point. Samsung couldn't care less about Canada anyway.

I wish I could pre-order from my carrier too but I don't want to change my plan and Telus doesn't allow you to just outright pre-order purchase the phone. After my last experience with Tech Data over the Note7 pre-order, I don't feel at all assured that I made the right choice. I remember getting my Note 7 after the release date, even though I pre-ordered it practically within the same hour the window opened!
Don't forget to register for the free gear vr! You have to fill out this form for Samsung in order to receive the gift. Fill it out and when you get your phone, register it and Samsung will send your Gear VR. This should be interesting to see who actually gets it.

I am still deciding on which one to buy s8 or s8 plus.
Do you think s8+ is going to be too big and awkward to use?
BTW I am using S7 edge and it's perfect

Im a little surprised and more than a little annoyed those idiots at samsung are not making the silver and gold versions available at launch here.
God they are stupid and shortsighted. After the huge note 7 fail one would think they would want to sell as many s8's as possible. Which would mean making all colours available.
I pre ordered anyway but will swap it for a sliver or gold exynos version like i did with the note 7 and s7 edge.
Not off to a great start samsung.

Yeah i checked the koodo website...it says silver but i have s strong feeling its the gray one...i may just call them to see.
Im going to swap it for a exynos anyway once my local seller has them so i guess it doesnt really matter what colour i get but its still a stupid move on Samsungs part

That's going suck if it's not silver. I'm actually curious if exynos will still have the edge in battery life like it did with the sd820. I'm hoping we canadians don't screwed. If not then I know which note8 version im going be getting later this year lol

We got screwed after the S7...
I had both exynos and snapdragon note 7s and the exynos killed it pretty
Much in every way.

anyone know what the model # is for the version Samsung will sell direct? Trying to confirm frequency support for Public Mobile LTE
Will the version sold direct by Samsung have frequency support like the SM-G955F?
So there is no way we can get coral blue color version in Canada?
I guess orchid grey is as close as we can get to blue
