UK Stock and Price

I picked one up today from the Stratford store in London UK - Price was (inc VAT) - £399.00
They only had the wifi version in white - couldn't resist so purchased although ideally wanted the 3g one with more storage.

Thanks! Was wondering what their price would be. I might just wait till Sept 1 for the deep grey. Seems nowhere in the UK has it in stock until Sept 1..
Samsung website says Argos is a seller, but they have no idea.

Carphone warehouse is selling it and has the 16gb white vetsion in stock. Expansys and clove are selling 16Gb and 32gb white and grey but are showing No stock until 1st Sept.

Oops. Well have to wait then...

I asked at a carphone warehouse today to be told that've they should have stock in 2-3 days. I'm after a grey 3g one which I have preordered on amazon, but if I can get it sooner I wouldn't mind.
I doubt that the guy knew what he was talking about though

Hey,
Just wondering was that amazon.com or .co.uk? I can't find it on the UK site - has anyone else found any UK online/highstreet stores with the note 10.1 in stock or for preorder? I'm after the grey 32gb.

Grey is not up yet.
Amazon is really stupid. You have to search through electronics and samsung.
Only the grey 16gb version is available and the white 16gb. Funnily the grey version now shows as unknowing date for delivery and stock. Only the white shows as in stock on the 1st of september.

I ordered mine from Expansys, it's a euro import but it arrived quickly and I am happy

"Black to come a bit later..."

Hey guys... I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but I am still excited to get my hands on an HTC One! Take it for what it's worth but I tweeted to Jason Mackenzie about when AT&T would be getting the black version, and this is what he said:
"@holz75 Won't have date for a couple weeks. Focus of launch will be silver. black to come a bit later."

I believe at&t should be blamed here not HTC. At&t done the same thing with the note2. They launched the gray and 2 weeks later the start to sell the white ones.

Per-ordered my black HTC One on the 7th March here in the UK and I'm still waiting, I'm expecting to wait another 1-2 weeks yet

Lucky. I bet the black one doesn't see the US for at least a month. I couldn't resist ordering one so I go the Unlocked Edition. I will probably buy the Black one later and resell it but I REALLY wanted this phone

I feel they have difficulties manufacturing the black ones. Even the iPhone 5 black one had lots of easy scuffing problems. May be they are seeing that the black ones scuff easily and trying to fix it?

Well, according to the press release in this article, will we NEVER see a black 64gb model?
HTC launches 'HTC One Live Experience Tour' in the U.S. | Android Central
"AT&T: Available on April 19th in silver and black with 32GB of memory for $199.99, and in silver with 64 GB of memory for $299.99 with a two-year commitment."

guys. black version, is more fragile to scratches han silver version?

Grey is fine with me.

I would think if it's paint then it would be more evident WHEN it scratches, whereas the grey would be more subtle. Either way, I can't wait and will be fine with the grey. It looks really slick.

Pretty sure the black version is fairly scratch resistant given this video:

Which colour?

So look like pre-orders in the UK are going ahead on Friday. I went to the Samsung experience store in London today to take a look and choose a colour. However they didn't have the two colours I am trying to decide between: Gold or Green.
Has anyone had hands on with either of these? I cant quite decide if I like the green, I do like a phone a little different, so it probably will be my choice.
Is it possible to do a poll on here of the colours?

I wonder if all colors will be available right away at launch.
Samsung is known for releasing different colors of phones over time.

I think I'm going for Platinum Gold, depending on how noticeable fingerprints look. It looks very professional and sleek. I know the Pearl White one conceals fingerprints the most but I'm bored of white already.
The Emerald Green also looks extremely sexy. I really want to see them all before I choose one.

I will be going for the gold variant if it is available at AT&T

Green of course.

I pre-ordered black Edge

green if it will ever land in bahrain or saudi lol.

Pre orderd the 128 GB Black edition.
Looking forward to it.

I pre-ordered a black one, but now having seconds thoughts about a gold one. I am afraid to change my order, as I am unsure whether Samsung will have enough phones to send out when it becomes available.

Im going to get the green one with 128gb. It is for me by far the best looking edge version
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Free mobile app

definitely go for green...!

Looks like T-Mobile will only be getting the Black and White models in to start then Gold later on.
If you read the comments on their youtube video they say that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaZlx3YBCsQ&t=104
I will be holding out for the gold. Black and white are too normal need a nice color for a phone like this.

If thats the case thats not too bad. I can wait a couple of more weeks for the Gold.

Emerald Green

I initially went with white... Only becasue I always have black phones and wanted a change.. then I saw pics of the green one... Oh Yeah.... that looks pretty sleek to me.. So I went ahead and swapped my order..
128gb Emerald Green....

saw the black one in a store the other day and placed a preorder straight away! It's not just black it has a blue/green pearlescent sheen that looks stunning. the white has a similar effect but nowhere near as nice and I expect the green one will be similar.
The black one is definitely the best looking imo. once you see this phone in the flesh you realise that the s6 edge is a real game changer. probably the best looking phone ever made and it's as slim as phones are ever going to need to get. wish I could go into cryogenic stasis and wake up on the 10th of april!

just as i predicted, pretty pathetic of samsung as usual. over market, never deliver. my guess is many carriers wont see nothing at all except W/B colors. lots of disappointment when people cant buy the color they want.

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
2499 SR
Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE SM-G925 32GB Black
3099 SR
Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE SM-G925I 64GB Black
3349 SR
Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920 32GB White
2499 SR

Actually in Jarir they have 3 colors available. White, black and gold. I have pre ordered mine and waiting for the availability.

Anyone know if it's on display anywhere in Saudi Arabia? It's everywhere in the UAE

They have display units already in the UAE?
wonder when bahrain will get theirs lol

White because fingerprints are easily visible on black and even in gold so I chose white. I was wondering if Samsung pay will be implemented in malls and retail stores in the kingdom

based on what i read it will work with most credit card swiping machines and not only NFC (sorry im kinda not that techy as a person lol)
Are you filipino by chance?
im going to bahrain april 2nd, most probably there will be display units in the flagship store in city center

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?
Thanks

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

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.

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.
