First impressions, i don't like its trying too hard to be an iPhone, even the bloody nano SIM.

But, the phone is stunning, but Gold is a fingerprint magnet.

It is difficult to hold and easy to drop, the sides not sure make it not comfortable to hold, but early days.

It is also heavier, but the i prefer the plastic lightweight ala S4, S5.

Screen is lovely, it is noticeable better, hard to describe just so ala 4K.

Camera is amazing in low light its like you are in daylight.

Software, seems all the same except the cosmetics, S5 all over again, so left me disappointed.

Overall though - its hasn't done it for me again (as the S5).

Going to try it for a day or so and decide.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] UniqueFreak:
Had my white 128gb edge from 3 since Friday and man it's awesome! 3 are awesome
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ste1164:
Even the nano sim? I think everyone is moving to that it just makes sense, its smaller so more space saved.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] twistedvegan:
carphone warehouse have changed their prices to compete with everyone else. I just got the 64gb edge in black for £49.99 upfront on the £53 pm 20gb EE contract :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] lawtq:
Jesus christ of Nazareth, thats over £1321 for a 24 month contract! If got need that them why not, but too much for me.

I got a 12 month deal for a 64gb gold edge coasting me £816 overall! Hardly no data but I hardly use it, wifi at work and home. £329. 99 up front and £40.50 for 12 months. It needed to be 12 month. Tired of these long 17 year deals.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xavier2k3:
Who with?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] lawtq:
Smart phone company. UK seller. Good deals there.

Oh and I almost forgot. With quidco £50 cashbook that's £766!!! Around the same price for buying the 64gb edge in most places!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xavier2k3:
What network is that with? That's a fab offer.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] lawtq:
Man I want commission from them as I'm advertising them too much. But I see better deals nowhere else. It's with Vodafone. They're slightly cheaper than anywhere else
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ilordvader:
Is there difference in Specs of the S6 Edge

launching in UK India & UAE ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thyttel:
Stop spamming every thread with same stupid question.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xavier2k3:
Shame that there is no upgrade prices. Really good new contracts though.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] obsydian:
Finally got a hands on with the S6 and the Edge (O2 store) which I preordered direct from Vodafone.

The plain S6 pretty much the same as my S5 aside from a metal glass back, the S6 though did look and feel special but beyond the cosmetics it did nothing noticeably better than S5.

Finding myself back at last year going from the S4 to S5 and being very underwhelmed.

Edge wise the phone was in demo mode so could not try the lockscreen edge functionality.

Sadly I think the S6 is the S5 scenario all over again.

My main reason for going for the S6 was I love my Gear 2.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] lawtq:
So you're disappointed with it?

And some in the USA have actually had theirs delivered to them!! Wtf is that all about! Painfully jealous
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] J10BLN:
How's your experience been with quidco? They have some super offers
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] obsydian:
Just expected more.

My UK Vodafone pre order said 5-7 weeks and that was last Sunday : /

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

Used Quidco for years rarely had issues, had £580 in total overs 5 or so years
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xavier2k3:
Okay so I have pre-ordered a 64GB Gold Edge from Carphone Warehouse. I played with one in the Samsung store before ordering and love the Edge. Wondering whether I should have maybe got it in white instead due to fingerprints but it does look great in gold.

Unfortunately the wireless charger offer is only on the S6, not the Edge. But as some of you may now they have a price match deal where they match the offer and pay your first month of your bill. So they price matched the offer that EE were offering. I got the handset free, 20GB EE Xtra Data (faster and usable in Europe), Unlimited Minutes and Texts for £53.49 a month. Carphone had the same deal but the handset was £49.99 instead so they matched it and will pay my first month's line rental. They were unable to remove more than £30 discount off the phone as it is a pre-order isn't physically so the other £20 I got in the form of a voucher that can spend in the Samsung shop which I can put towards the wireless charger when it comes out.

Apparently it'll be delivered to the store on the 30th March (seems to be a similar story across the pond with T-Mobile) but they can't release till 10th April.

Nevermind
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ilordvader:
will UK get 128gb Gold version on Launch ?

Usa doesnt have it, I want one :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] skanj:
I think Vodafone UK are selling the 128gb in gold. Not sure about sim free
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ilordvader:
Thanks bro
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] skanj:
No probs
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] obsydian:
Yes Vodafone UK are doing a 128gb Gold
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Naths:
It's nothing like a iPhone? ????
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] obsydian:
Negative - finding it difficult to hold, slippery and marks easy.

Positive - SSD, wow its bloody quick, bye, bye SD card.

Its clear Samsung have gone for the if you can't beat them approach (iPhone).
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ChazyChaz:
/anyone from EE with 128GB model
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jah:
Vodafone sent me the wireless charger and plastic cover even though I cancelled my order!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Rob F1UK:
Thinking of preordering a 128GB platinum gold edge via O2. Has anyone received this size from O2 yet? Also, what bloatware or branding are O2 loading on edges in general - anyone have one on contract with them here?

Cheers. :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] amer27:
Like you I am waiting for EE to release the 128gb model! Spoke to them on the phone last week and the upgrade went through then right at the last minute she said samsung have not released the 128gb to them yet so I have to wait.

However lady on the phone said she will call me back when they have some in stock so just waiting at the moment...

Hopefully by the time they get it they will have the green one in stock :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ChazyChaz:
week ago they told me i can upgrade to 128gb model and will be in maximimum 3 weeks in stock will see as still not on website
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ChazyChaz:
talk with EE today , no green and no 128GB in near future and whats funny no dates.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] n-j-f:
128Gb available from Amazon.de

Amazon.de now showing black, white and gold 128Gb in stock.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ChazyChaz:
CPW has stock of 128GB , just got delivered one for myself today.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Ronaldo_9:
Calling UK edge 6 owners.

Can you tell me if your network phone has any software branding? i.e if the Vodafone version has vodafone splash screen or apps.

I would like to know about Voda, EE and O2 please

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jah:
Purchased from CPW on Vodafone and no splash screen
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Ronaldo_9:
I bought a Vodafone one, it has 2 Vodafone apps that cannot be Uninstalled. I'm on E E :/ oh well. Maybe there is a way to flash sim free firmware
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] strikerdj2011:
purchased direct from 02 it has 02 splash screen a little bloat ans is locked to 02
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Ronaldo_9:
The Vodafone version had no splash screen. Just 2 Voda apps.

I flashed the sim free firmware over and now it's clean. Doesn't avoid warranty and simple to do.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ChazyChaz:
best its from carphone warehouse no matter wich network no app no simlock nothing phonr from samsung.

Ordered a s6 edge 128gb black yesterday from Vodafone and will receive it today apparently.

They were true to their words!!!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ste1164:
Amazon UK stock the S6 edge 64GB for £700 which is £60 cheaper than samsung! Its official samsung stock so no imports.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jutley:
You want to get rid of that s6 edge wireless charger?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jah:
Cancelled order but bought S6E on launch day from CPW :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shaffaaf27:
can i flash a BTU UK FW over an o2 to get rid of branding?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jadaress1:
Yeh you can, its exactly what i did, using the newest version of Odin. I used an older version at first and it got stuck at nand write.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] genmaxiu:
Can somebody please tell me if 3UK Edge has any software branding ?

EDIT: OK, I can answer now to myself, there is a splashscreen and three apps from 3UK, not bad.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BenF1:
Has anyone on three got any updates yet? I got an update when I first got it (1 or 2 days after release) but since then, nothing. This memory management (or lack of) is driving me insane.

Hello Friends,

I bought a SIM Free unlocked S6 Edge from Amazon UK, but it came locked and the box says it needs to be activated using a EU Sim for a first call for 5 minutes. today I tried it using it with an Indian SIM card but it says SIM not supported etc. As I am in India and want to use it here, want to know how to use it in India?

Since, I am a novice please share the steps involved to start using the phone in India. Thanks.

Anyone know if Pre-orders are coming early like T-mobile in the US?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] killyouridols:
Pulled the trigger eventually. £55 a month with unlimited calls, texts and data including overseas. 64gb white. Three UK. No upfront cost. Happy really, works out over 24 months as an extra £194 to my current contract which I can make up 90% by selling my m8/s4

I got a text from ee saying my gold edge will be delivered within 14 days.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] IakobosJ:
14 Days? What size did you order? --EDIT-- (I see the estimates on the gold and white are now 21 days from EE :eek:)

I've pre-ordered the 64GB Edge in black and they have told me I'll have it on the 10th.

I got my 64 Edge from EE with 10GB Data Unlimited Calls/Texts for £53.49 and £9.99 upfront. I also get discount (Friends and Family) which takes the final bill to £32.99 a month :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] skanj:
I ordered the 64gb one mate
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] IakobosJ:
Yeah, the black ones are shipping faster than the gold ones, should still have mine by the 10th hopefully :)

I've had a play with one and I think it is a gorgeous phone :D
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] skanj:
I've got to wait another week from you, I only liked the gold one so I guess I have to wait. Got a case and screen protector already waiting.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jais_dude:
How about the emerald green version?Any confirmation on its availability??:(:(
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Super Chimp:
I do wonder if that's going to be a Samsung web exclusive in the UK.

I cannot say. But both colours are coming in June globally
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] uktivo:
Ok. Have pre ordered a 128gb emerald green from amazon.de. Recently had an email from them saying there is a delay

So may change my plan of attack. My daughter is wanting her first iphone for her birthday, so my new plan is to take an extra connection onto my business plan with EE for her, get a S6 64gb phone at the same time, I will take that and then buy her the iphone 5s.

Can you see any reason why this wouldn't work?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dk206:
That is a better plan, there is no way Amazon will get the colour offerings until summer.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ombadboy:
Amazon won't have any offerings until Summer by the looks of it... *sigh*
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dk206:
[MENTION=1273461]ombadboy[/MENTION] Samsung UK does not have any affiliation with Amazon, if you want to purchase a Galaxy S6 stock and has UK warranty then get it through UK Samsung or one of the UK carriers. Otherwise you might be at risk of not getting a UK variant with official UK warranty...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Super Chimp:
Does that really matter when both Germany & the UK will have EU warranties.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Anyone who has ordered from Vodafone... Have you received anything other than the initial email with the web-reference?

http://www.vodafone.co.uk/shop/track-my-order/

Stage one is complete, my order is on stage 2.

I ordered 22nd March

Vodafone told me they are beginning to send out some orders on Friday, and that is also when people will begin receiving shipping text messages (and presumably emails)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] smokemeakipper:
Hi.

I ordered on the 24th March with Vodafone . Status the same as yours, stage 2.

Time to put my galaxy s2 to bed when the edge arrives.

Order 64gb in black. Free charger and case. 4gb month on 4g . Unlimited texts and calls. Sky sports for 6 months.

£49 for handset £38.80 a month. 24 months.

Not a bad deal as they have recently increased there tariffs.

Fingers crossed I'll get the edge on sat.

Good luck all!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Nice! Is that the edge or the standard S6?

I have the same, 64GB Edge, 4GB of 4G data, unlimited calls and texts, free 6 month spotify... Free case etc

£49 upfront and it is £48.50/month without any discounts/cashback taken into account

Did you get some discount to bring it to £38.80? Or is it a standard S6 (non-edge)?

I'm hoping for a Friday delivery! :D
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] smokemeakipper:
Evening.

Ordered the s6 edge.

I got 20% off the contract. :) I work for the NHS.

This has been the first phone since the s2 that I've wanted. HTC always looked interesting, also oppo looks nice. But they never had the edge. (sorry)

Hope it arrives on Friday too!

I want to show off the phone whilst I'm out on Saturday.

The only thing I'll miss about the s2 is flashing Roms.

Not seen the edge in the flesh yet. Hope she's a good one. Takes me back to the days of waiting for the Nokia N95. Great phone, but battery was awful.

Regards
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Hi,

Ahh okay that explains the price, mine worked out to about 18% discount if I can claim student discount and the cashback together which is not a bad deal I'd say

I've seen it in an O2 store (clamped down though) and it does look very nice, especially in black!!

Currently using an old blackberry as I sold my S4 already, can't wait for it to arrive! :D
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] techenthusiast:
Ordered on Vodafone the 64gb Black S6 Edge. Still stuck at Stage 2.

Hopefully should get it on Friday, but looks more likely to be next week.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Out of interest, when did you place your order?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] techenthusiast:
Upgraded on the 31st March.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] techenthusiast:
Got this from Vodafone Twitter:

Online delivery shows as 1 May. You'll receive an email once the phone is on it's way :) ^KM
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
MAY?! :eek:

I'm guessing you contacted them about your specific order? Or delivery of S6 Edge's in general?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] techenthusiast:
Nope! I wasn't specific, just asked about S6 Edge shipping date for Pre-Orders.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Sorry I'm confused haha, where did the 1st May date come from then? Or is that missing from the screenshot? From what I understand they are saying it will be around this Friday / early next week?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] techenthusiast:
Sorry Twitter being annoying.

Me - [MENTION=368135]vodafone[/MENTION]UKhelp Do you know when pre-orders of the S6 Edge will be shipping? Should I expect mine on Friday or next week?

Vodafone - [MENTION=373298]Techy[/MENTION]Enthusiast Online delivery shows as 1 May. You'll receive an email once the phone is on it's way :) ^KM

Me - [MENTION=368135]vodafone[/MENTION]UKhelp Ouch! Seriously. It's released on April 10th, so if I pre-order I have to wait a month after release to get it?

Vodafone - [MENTION=373298]Techy[/MENTION]Enthusiast It depends on the amount of stock we receive, however it's likely to be around that date. ^KM
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Wow! That is not good... Just chatting on Vodafone live chat now, seems they are confirming the same :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] techenthusiast:
I have asked if I can go instore and just get the phone if they have it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
See here:

If you haven't had an email saying there is a delay, it seems you may be okay?

I've been told that confirmation/delivery emails can't be sent yet since the device isn't 'released'... And that there is a chance of receiving confirmation email, delivery email and the delivery itself on Friday still (unless you've been notified of a delay to your order by email)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] techenthusiast:
Ah ok, well I haven't had an email, but knowing vodafone thats not necessarily a good sign :D

Could it be related to - http://news.phonesltd.co.uk/deals/samsung-galaxy-s6-edge-black-gold-white-32gb-deals/
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ste1164:
Samsung do have UK stock on devices. You can buy the S5 currently through Amazon UK themselves which is a UK device with warranty. If you buy through a 3rd party seller that uses Amazon then you might get a non UK device.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Yeah maybe support staff are giving us info about the delay on the 32GB even though that's not what we've ordered (and maybe 32GB customers are the ones who have been sent out emails)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] techenthusiast:
Just have to wait and see.

I'll give it till next weekend maybe.

Its a bit difficult to call, but I'll give them a week.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] smokemeakipper:
Hi all

Getting closer!

I've ordered 64gb edge black on the 24th March

I've just checked my order status(vodafone). Still on 2. Confirmation.

I haven't received any emails yet about delays.......yet. As you said, hope its the 32gb model only.

I've just looked online at Vodafone web site, and it still says delivered by the 10th April. if you preorder. That's for the 64gb black.

Wonder if new contracts will take priority over upgrades.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] techenthusiast:
Did anyone upgrade from an old contract and get the a Red package? I just wonder if anyone has been told that they will get the charger and case "gifts"?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
Nope I'm a new customer, 4GB data and was assured by sales staff that the accessory pack is included (despite it not being mentioned in the basket)... I'm keeping my chat transcript as 'legal proof' (sales staff's words, not mine) :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] smokemeakipper:
Funny you say that. I also kept my transcript. As there was no proof at checkout. I did ask specifically if I will receive the charger and case. The online chat said yes! It will arrive with the phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] azibux1:
I suppose that is all the proof we need? If it doesn't arrive, with that proof from the sales team, and a bit of persuasion, I'm guessing they will have to legally honor it and send us the charger and case :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jah:
Remember the Vodafone Web site states the accessory pack will arrive separately http://www.vodafone.co.uk/about-thi...-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge-bundle-offer/index.htm
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] techenthusiast:
TBH I have a case and wireless chargers, so its not a major bummer if they dont turn up. But I will give them an extra week and then speak to someone in store.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] skanj:
Anyone ordered from ee heard anything?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] stompy09:
I have just received a text from EE saying that my phone will be with me within 21 days.

I ordered a black 64GB edge on 1st April.

I ordered this on the basis that I would get this on Friday, even walking past an EE shop yesterday they said it was available to order to guarantee delivery on launch day,

If this is not the case and it will be 21 days I will be cancelling my order
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shah888:
I ordered a 64gb black version from o2, who told me it was dispatched yesterday and have provided me with a tracking number. They said it won't work until Friday, as ukmail are holding it until the release date.
