[Galaxy S6 General] Japultra:
I would hope none of us here on XDA would buy from a UK retailer. It's much cheaper to buy from Europe or HK and have it imported. 32gb starting at £473 with this Italian seller. And it also comes with a free wireless charger. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/POWERTEC-ELETRONICA/_i.html?_nkw=Samsung+S6&submit=Search&_sid=366406985
[Galaxy S6 General] hunhool:
My contract due to upgrade in April(EE),so I decided to buy the S6 64/128GB version.

The free wireless charger sounds great,however I did find a lot better deal(for me).the device is free(128GB model) with 10GB data,unlimited calls/texts,free 080 calls,calls/texts free use in EU.

Checked the offers on CPW and realized they are really expensice compare to affordablemobiles.

[Galaxy S6 General] le_lutin:
Probably worth noting that there's a £25 delivery charge on top of that price.
[Galaxy S6 General] FSOP:
Thanks, I wasn't aware of this!
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
It seems you have to register your device with Samsung Italy and then fill out a promo page to get the wireless charger:

"Participate in the initiative is simple:

From March 16 to April 9 preorder Galaxy S6 at any point of sale

Registration received by 9 April on the site www.samsung.it/prenotazione

Exactly, but they ship to Italy only.

However if you know someone in Italy willing to ship you the charger you could get it by paying € 16,00 with Insured Mail by Poste Italiane.

[Galaxy S6 General] DanGlee:
Well I've gone and ordered one from Amazon.de 64GB for €799 / £590ish. Still cheaper than the UK 32GB model! Is it the 14th April yet? :)
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
Kind of defeats the object really of ordering from Italy if you have anyone in Italy to whom you can send the wireless charger to. Most won't have anyone there to take delivery so you might as well not order and choose somewhere else or forego the wireless charger altogether.
[Galaxy S6 General] ac-milan:
just put pre-ordered for s6 edge 64gb green through amazon.de

not big difference on price as it cost me £ 720 delivered vs £760 from Samsung uk direct

i would prefer to pay the extra and get it from Samsung uk but Green version only available from amazon.de

also amazon after sale and 2 years warranty ( EU) Gave me a bit of peace.

due to be delivered on 14th April
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
Seems they put the price up. Was nearly £620 before for a 64gb edge
[Galaxy S6 General] Super Chimp:
Clove have put their pre-order page up.

http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s6
[Galaxy S6 General] ombadboy:
Wasnt it always 949 eur?
[Galaxy S6 General] Hawke84:
Wish amazon UK would hurry up and open pre orders
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
I'm sure I saw it cheaper. I remember converting the euro to figure out the price. If I were to get one it would be the 64gb edge in gold and last time I worked it out it came to around £620
[Galaxy S6 General] jhericurls:
The pre order has always been 950 euros. Before official prices were available amazon had a place holder price of 999 euros.

The price of the £ has fallen against the Euro recently, which has increased the price.
[Galaxy S6 General] mhmoudalhelo:
ok
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
I thought that might have been the reason. I used Google to convert rather than a currency convertor.
[Galaxy S6 General] marcochapita:
I don't know if this helps anyone. But every pre order in Portugal doesn't matter if it's network lock or free they all have wireless charger for free. Guess in Portugal they know not much people with money to buy the s6
[Galaxy S6 General] the_chang:
Quite a few of you are buying this sim free at £500+. Surely it'd be a better deal on contract ?
[Galaxy S6 General] lawtq:
How'd you work that one out?
[Galaxy S6 General] Hawke84:
No work out contract cost vs same contract sim only. You pay for the phone one way or another. Three uk you save £11 buying phone on contract over 2 years.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
On o2 it works out that for a 64gb edge you can pay £829 upfront for the phone plus the £17.50/mth contract tariff or £52.50/mth with £9.99 upfront (works out at over two years as £840 for the phone) as opposed to buying sim free at £760 and having a sim only contract at same £17.50/mth as above. Also, sim only you can choose monthly rollover or a 12 month contract as opposed to being stuck in a 2 year contract.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
You can work out all variants on contract and it'll still end up that you'll pay more for the phone over two years as opposed to buying the phone sim free and going on a sim only contract.
[Galaxy S6 General] lawtq:
Samsung sell the 64gb edge for £760. I signed up to a deal that was for the gold 64gb edge costing £765.99 for a one year contract lol.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
That's a pretty cool deal. Where did you get it from? Just shows that if you look there are good deals about rather than going to the networks directly.
[Galaxy S6 General] ermacwins:
Smartphonecompany.co.uk seems to have OK deals
[Galaxy S6 General] lawtq:
This was with the smartphonecompany.co.uk

its 329.99 upfront which is steep, then 40.50 for 12 months which is 486 pounds. Then minus the 50 pounds Quidco cash back, I've found Quidco to be always good with their cash back payments. 765.99 altogether. Only 5.99 over Samsung price! Not bad

But......! Hold your horses!

I went to see the phone in person. I entered the doors at Samsung loving the edge......and left their premises preferring the standard s6!! WTF? It surprised me that I swayed this way so the good deal above is now cancelled, I called them up and said no deal, serves me right for only looking at reviews and video footage of the phones and not actually trying them out as I urge you all to do!!

The edge I found annoyed me, distorted video footage and pics too much which I knew they would and I liked that in the reviews but next to the standard s6 it just didn't look as good. The standard s6 was better in that aspect, had a crisper sharper screen and better to hold. Look at the threads where people who say they've seen and experienced both phones, those people like myself are preferring the standard one

Th build quality was lost on me really, its ok, but all the really matters to me is the screen and performance/battery, damn thing will be hidden in cases anyway

The edges are tiny in the flesh, they really were, felt useless, I dont wanna ramble on but go and see before you buy, now i have to wait 5 working years to get my money back :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 General] J10BLN:
I've found a deal that I like

It's Vodafone £48.50pm with unlimited text+mins and 7GB data

This includes Spotify for the duration of the contract which I currently pay £10pm for

It includes a wireless charger and case

With quidco I can get £100 cashback on this deal

So £48.50 x 24 months = £1164

Minus the savings on spotify = £924

Minus the quidco cashback = £824

Minus the wireless charger (I guess worth £50) = £774

This is the best deal I can find, and with 7GB of data it's a great deal. I hope to order soon
[Galaxy S6 General] lawtq:
That is not bad indeed
[Galaxy S6 General] J10BLN:
It relies on a few things,

That Quidco pay your cashback in full.

That you use either NowTV, Spotify or Sky Sports live in order to utilise a saving

That you are looking for a contract above 5gb

So long as tethering is included within the 7GB, this will suit me very well
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
I was moved to the standard on watching the reviews. The £100 difference or whatever between the two versions didn't sit well with me just to have a curved screen and a flashing side when the phone is faced down (when most people always face the phone up with the camera faced down!).

The s6 edge doesn't have the flexibility that the note edge does.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
The new wireless charger for the s6 (which will work with any phone, especially a note 4 with a qi receiver) is priced at £33 on Amazon pre order.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...ss+charger&dpPl=1&dpID=41OqE7pb39L&ref=plSrch
[Galaxy S6 General] le_lutin:
Where did you get that deal?
[Galaxy S6 General] lawtq:
You're wiser than me that's for sure. I used no such common sense at first, fell for those curves lol, 100 pounds didn't matter, looks were all that counted, till reality hit me when I saw in person. Even if they were the same price I'd buy the standard one
[Galaxy S6 General] J10BLN:
I've pretty much mentioned everywhere.

Quidco, direct from vodafone
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
Yeah I have to admit I was initially won over by the edge but I just started thinking about what the differences were and also read an article about the differences which weren't much. The standard s6 is still a great phone but is overshadowed by the edge.

I was going to order the s6 or s6 edge but decided to wait till the note 5 as I've only just got my note 4.
[Galaxy S6 General] le_lutin:
You didn't mention anywhere that the deal was direct with Vodafone.

Thanks for the info now though.
[Galaxy S6 General] lawtq:
I Really dont like you, you know that? You're talking absolute sense again lol :rolleyes: This is exactly right and what I should do too. We all know the note will blast this thing out of the water when it comes. Got a note 4 too from day 2, I don't need this s6......but I'm such a tech whore!

Please people, keep finding good deals so I can justify this purchase
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
Haha tell me about it. I like my tech too. Have a lot even though I shouldn't. I'm being sensible though with this now but if I wasn't I'd have pre ordered like everyone else. I didn't get my note 4 till October and then had to get it replaced in march so I've got nearly a year on warranty with this new one. I have a OnePlus one as well which surprisingly I got an invite for out of the blue when it launched. Also got the gear vr but I'm regretting it a little because of the overheating issue but I read that was due to Chromecast being active or something. Always look after number one lol!
[Galaxy S6 General] trancem:
Placing my order tonight from Amazon.de for the standard S6 32GB. Am I ok to pay with my debit card? I take it I won't have no issues dealing with Amazon?

Didn't want the flashy blue or white, so it is between the black and the gold. According to alot of reviews the black is prone to fingerprints so looks like I shall be getting the Gold.

Do I just need to buy a EU 2 Pin to UK 3 Pin adapter (for charging) and I'm ready to go?
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
You shouldn't have any problems with Amazon.de - they're usually done with any type of payment.

Yes you'll need a European to UK adapter for your fast charger.
[Galaxy S6 General] trancem:
Thanks mate, just placed my order!

Worked out at £540.66 - Almost £60 cheaper than ordering from UK. Estimated date is 11-13th April. Excited now. This S4 is battered.

Time to trawl through the forum and look for the best tempered glass protector & case
[Galaxy S6 General] hunhool:
Disagree.

I'm on sim only contract at the moment on EE. 20GB data,unlimited calls/text,£5 deezer discount(special contract),minutes /text can be used in EU and its £27.99/month

I'm due to upgrade and found a good deal at affordablemobiles.co.uk S6 128GB £48.24/months,the phone is free and I'll have 10GB data,free 080 numbers,unlimited calls/texts(EU) £5Deezer subscription. This will be £1157.76 over 24 months. The 128GB version is £700.00 at the moment(clove co.uk) so the monthly line rental is £457,76 for 24 months,which will be £19.07/month.

This is quite good deal,I think.
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Anyone found any decent Sim Free deals UK Based?

Might have to jump on the amazon.de boat!
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
Could you provide the link to this deal please?

I can't seem to find the deal you found on there. From what I've seen, only the 32gb variant of s6 is anywhere close to the price you mentioned. The 128gb variant is £50+/mth.

Also Samsung haven't released the price for the 128gb variant of s6 which means it could be less than what clove have quoted.

The 10gb offer you've referred to is £56.99

http://www.affordablemobiles.co.uk/...gb-56-99-24mths-upgrade-24/automatic-cashback
[Galaxy S6 General] tftftf:
amazon.es

Starting to get a bit concerned about the lack of release date on Amazon.es.

I assumed it would be the same as everywhere else; bit strange that it is still to be confirmed.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
From what I've read online, the Spanish release date is 17 April, not 10 April like UK so you'll probably get it after that date depending on when Amazon Spain get their stock. Probably why you haven't got an estimate yet.
[Galaxy S6 General] tftftf:
Ah thanks, I somehow missed that. Hmm, seems so long away...
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
Ah don't worry, the info isn't clear anyway. I had to search for it. Hope you got a good deal though.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
This is what I was able to find on affordablemobile.co.uk
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
I found one using uSwitch which is with people's operator (using EE network). It's unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and 3gb data for £14.99 a month, with first three months at £4.99

https://www.thepeoplesoperator.com/...ce=AW&utm_medium=AW&utm_campaign=SIM+Deals+AW

Really depends on what you're looking for but uSwitch and other comparison sites are good at pointing you in the right direction or to give you a flavour of what's on offer. Of course the sites that aren't network based might offer better deals. For example http://m.mobiles.co.uk/index.php?page=/M-commerce/sim-only-deals

Also depends on what network you want. I've got a sim only with 3 with unlimited data and texts and calls and only pay £15/mth
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
I'm on EE. Sim Only, unlim calls and texts and 10GB 4G data for 13 a month for 6 months, then 27 a month for the last 6.

Was hoping to get a decent deal for just the phone. Got the S5 in May last year for 400 off eBay. Might be worth holding out
[Galaxy S6 General] derWolf_:
Any information when the other colors of the phone will be available (the blue and green ones) in the UK?
[Galaxy S6 General] J10BLN:
Unfortunately no, but if you have the upfront capital you can order the other colours from amazon.de and get a sim free contract.

It will work out very much cheaper in the long run too
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
That's quite good but I couldn't use all that data, barely use the 2gb I have at the moment but I'm looking for a good sim only too.
[Galaxy S6 General] hunhool:
Really weird... Can't seem to find the deal anymore, however I have received a confirmation email from affordablemobiles.

I can attach it if you want to see.
[Galaxy S6 General] derWolf_:
I don't need a contract - simply the device. And amazon is out of the question since they do not accept my debit card :)

Thank for the answer though!
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
I'm not doubting you, just that i couldn't find it anywhere. Great news for you if you found it in time. I guess they figured out it was too cheap and removed it! I'd suggest you check with them as they all have a variation clause on orders for phones that haven't been released and with your order being a pre order, it is always subject to change. If they say all's good, you got a really good deal. I don't know what I'd do with 10gb data though!

To be honest, I don't want to be paying £40/£50 a month for a contract phone. You get stuck in a two year contract with new phones launching each year. I bought my Note 4 sim free so I'm looking for a decent sim only deal but it's nice to see comparisons between contracts and networks.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
Did you not try the pre order on Samsung's website? Carphone Warehouse might do sim free closer to launch. You might even get one after launch by just going into the shop.

What debit card do you have?
[Galaxy S6 General] derWolf_:
Technically, I do not live in the UK haha. I live in the Netherlands, but I have a friend who lives in the UK an offered to buy the phone from there, since his contract expires soon.

About my debit card, I have Maestro and VPay and neither works.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
Ah I see, PayPal have a debit card you can apply for which will charge your PayPal account and PayPal will get their money as usual through your funding choice. https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/?cmd=xpt/cps/account/DCIntro-outside

I don't know if PayPal Netherlands has this option.

Alternatively, try find a prepaid mastercard or something like that where you can load money onto it and use as a MasterCard.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
If anyone is interested in sim free purchase, Carphone Warehouse has the s6 version available for pre order.

http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/samsung/galaxy-s6?intcmp=newHP_hero1_galaxys6_200315

S6 Pricing

£599.99 for 32gb

£659.99 for 64gb

£739.99 for 128gb

No details on edge version at the moment. Samsung has the 64gb edge version at £760 so I'd guess CW will match that price. No word on 128gb edge from either but guess would be £840.
[Galaxy S6 General] skridovaste:
So where is the cheapest place to get an S6 from? I'm after the 64GB normal (non-edge) version in white. I've heard amazon.de are doing it at €799 which is £585, which seems pretty good! Are there any issues with using it in the UK if I order from Germany? Are there any similar deals to this?

Thanks!

Edit: Looking for it SIM-free, already on a SIM-only contract with Three
[Galaxy S6 General] le_lutin:
There'll be no issues apart from the fact that you'll need an adapter for your charger.

Does £585 include delivery?
[Galaxy S6 General] skridovaste:
€805.72 with delivery, which is £589.92
[Galaxy S6 General] ombadboy:
Amazon UK still hasn't opened pre-orders :/ And the way the EURGBP is 'recovering' I can't justify buying it from Amazon.de other than the reason that it's still not available on Amazon UK!

I contacted them several times and I always get the automated response 'as soon as we know more from our suppliers we'll let you know..'

[Galaxy S6 General] Sultan913:
Can someone explain why my order from Amazon.de for the 64gb S6 came to €811.40 and not 799 + 4.76 delivery???

Because of the VAT.

Guys this page is dedicated to updates for android one.

We know running a company is not a simple and easy. You ( google ) are releasing updates and some people got the update for android one but this wont help you if you do this everytime. You promise us 2 years updates . Does that means 2 years late updates ? means android one will get updates after 2 years of lollipop update ? and the L stands for Land ? ( penis ? ) we Indians trusted you and most indians took this phone because of google and the update promise but now you are doing this . Hope google reads this...

Guys please sign a petition on this page so we can get updates fast. https://www.change.org/p/google-release-lollipop-for-android-one-devices

I think people are getting updates or the update news is totally fake . We will surely get update but its late . People are moving towards other phones like one+one and yureka .

and a special thanks to developers and others those who found out roms / 5.1 updates / CM / kernels or other things for our phone. Love you developers .
