We all know that the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge won't be released before April 10 in the US (just like in other parts of the world). What we don't know is when the two new Samsung flagship smartphones will be available to pre-order Stateside, since there's been no official word on the matter. But a Reddit user may have revealed precious details about this.
Reportedly, Best Buy will accept pre-orders for the S6 and S6 edge on March 27. Moreover, another Reddit user (who claims to be a Samsung employee) says that customers who pre-order an S6 or S6 edge for Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint should receive a free wireless charging pad that will normally cost $49.99.
Obviously, for now we can't confirm these details. However, since Samsung is already accepting pre-orders for the S6 and S6 edge in some markets, we're expecting the same thing to happen soon in the US, too.
Off contract prices for the cheapest Galaxy S6 variant (32 GB) could start at $699.99, while the S6 edge 32 GB might cost $799.99. So, who's looking forward to buying Samsung's new Galaxies?
AT&T pre-orders are live.

Haha, let's go team 128GB. Cry with me and join in the drinking away of the sorrows of buying $1000 devices (minus the $50 case, $50 charging pad, and $100 bluetooth headset too -_-)

Yup exactly why Im getting it from Best Buy!
any chance of getting a verizon one from best buy on the 27th? or at least the free wireless pad
Just as a heads up, looks like the 128GB Edge (possible the standard as well, not sure) for AT&T is web-only. This has two implications:
1. It means picking it up in-store might not happen. And if it does, it'll probably be in limited stores.
2. It means, sooner or later, they might not offer that particular SKU at all, and it'll be the first one to go. I forget which device it was that I owned, but they had a "web-only" variant of it that was actually unobtainable after only a few months and I ended up having to get an "alternate" when I got a replacement.
Also, for anyone curious, looks like the asshats at AT&T had to put their stupid branding on the back of the device.
Preordered a regular S6, first over at my local Best Buy.
Black S6 with free black Qi charger and $50 gift card. That seriously can't be beat.

I badly want to do this deal. Unfortunately the discount arrangement I have with AT&T won't carry over if I get it through Best Buy. I am gonna go ahead and buy the wireless charging pad from them though.

Carrier is AT&T. But AT&T and Sprint are both doing this. That's the Best Buy deal going on for all preorders on the S6 and Edge. Free wireless Samsung charger and $50 gift card.

Nowhere on the Web site does it say anything about the gift card. Did you buy in store?

Kind of, I preordered over the phone this morning.
Call up and check if your local shop is doing it. It's funny I beat the news outlets to the news, and still no reporting of it has been made.
As part of the preorder deal, Best Buy forces you to purchase a $50 gift card to use towards the phone when you pick it up. Not a big deal.
Where is the best place to order an unlocked S6?

I did the same thing. This will be my first non HTC phone. Due to current reviews I'm going with this because of the camera as I use it a lot.
If anyone has noticed the 32gb n6 is only $599 full price.
just saw it might have to go get one.
Wow what the heck man I just bought mine about three weeks ago for $720! ?
Edit: just realized your post says 32gb not 64gb Lol
But still $50 less than everywhere else
I just preordered my S7 on tmous and my order details show "Hero - black", nothing about the S7. Anyone else?
I preordered mine 3 hours ago, here in Switzerland
Ordered mine from T-Mobile.
My e-mail said Galaxy S7 - Gold Platinum - 32GB
Where can we pre-order it?

Poor me I'm European
I'll preorder once I can either get the US version with no carrier branding, or the band support info comes out for the 8890 version.
I just pre-ordered mine from Vodafone in the UK, and they're apparently shipping pre-orders for March 8th instead of 11th!

In the US? Which email are you referring to? The email with the contract attached or the actual order confirmation?

Alright apparently in France it's orderable from everywhere ^^
I've pre ordered my black S7 edge from Samsung UK and I should have it by the 8th March with the VR Headset it definitely beats my current Samsung S5
Pre-ordered a black S7 from T-mobile! Might actually switch to them too from AT&T to avoid the hassle of cancelling plans and unlocking the phone haha. Mine shows Galaxy S7 on the order status/email.

Pre-ordered mine from the Samsung store in Toronto. Said I should be able to pick it up on the 11th.
available for the regular s7 on verizon or only the edge? tia
Edge only
I was disappointed to not get the silver. I love the platinum gold. It seemed very yellow online. In person it is like my own bar of gold pressed Latium lol.
I got my phone from best buy on Friday, 1 Apr. The lady that sold me mine is a samsung rep. She was expecting her silver to arrive that day I think. She was stoked, hehe.
Pre-Order
Estimated to ship 04/20/2017 - 04/21/2017

Yep pre-ordered this morning online. Ship date was 19-21 Apr.
I have indeed, Midnight Black. I got told over the phone while making the order that it would arrive on the 29th but on the website it states the 20th for pre-orders. Hope it's the latter! I'm getting it from my network on contract this time though, not buying from Samsung directly.
Yep, preordered mine. Midnight Black. Didn't get any info about the VR though, does that come later?
Vr does not ship with phone. You submit a scan of the receipt and upload it to samsung promo site and then it ships direct from them in 4 weeks or so. Same as it was for S7
Ordered mine last night at 12:06am. Midnight Black S8+. Going to be sexy as hell. Ship date of 4/20-21. Also getting the VR bundle as promo for preorder. Considering paying the extra $99 for the AKG over the ear headphones + 256gb sd card.

The ones from Samsung supposedly arrive on the 20th and they include the promotional items. No filling out forms or wating for them to process and ship it separately.
Mine was a complete rigmarole. When I moved from the V10 to the V20 because the V10 just stopped working, they took away my Jump and then when I wanted to upgrade to the S8+ I was told I'd have to pay full price.
Next breath, the rep said, "If only you had Jump..." I lost it on her and told her I was told I couldn't keep jump. Very long silence, and she comes back with, not sure why you were told that, maybe we can put it back. An hour late, and a supervisor re-established Jump and I was able to upgrade to the S8+. Very weird they are stripping people of their Jump when it wasn't sunsetted at all.

I'm using the 200G card they gave away with the V10.
Preordered through Best Buy! Midnight black.
I have been out of the game awhile, is it likely we'll see root on the GS8/GS8+?
(As long as we act quickly once the exploits are out, I know they get patched ASAP)

Forgot to mention I ordered midnite black as well. Sexiest one. I almost got the grey one though.
Preordered a midnight black from Vodafone Australia, but Australia will release on 28th...... need to wait another week..... sad
Are they not unlocked from Samsung in US then? They are from the UK.
I've ordered from Samsung directly this time as CPW ballsed up the note 7 recall so I'd rather go direct. I'm not sure that will result in better service but hey ho.
just ordered mine in Sweden.. We don't seem to get anything extra with it.. No offers for early ordering at all. which sucks.. Got the Arctic Silver, delivery expected on the 20th April.
Just pre ordered mine last night. Says it should arrive the 21st

they aren't sold in conjunction with partners/deals. All phones I've bought from Sammy UK have been unlocked. As are sim free phones from CarPhoneWarehouse.
Preordered a midnight black AT&T S8+ from best buy the night of the 30th. A $100 savings was too good to pass up. Anybody with experience on best buy phone preorders? Is it likely to arrive by the 21st? Or earlier?
