S6 Edge could cost £100 more than the traditional form factor coming in at £649 SIM free according to reports. No conformation the memory capacity. Would you pay that much?

Yes i will......If i do it ..i`ll do it right......the EDGE rocks..:fingers-crossed:

Official prices from Samsung Spain are frightening! € 1049 for a 128gb Edge! I do like the green though. Unusual colour.
Samsung Spain Shop
PS Also showing on Amazon.es at the same price.

On the Samsung UK website the edge only comes in 64gb and 128gb versions so it's probably going to be £649 for the 64gb version.

Now I'm a big phone geek, but i couldn't justify £684 on a phone. I wonder if this high price point is going to hold back the popularity of this phone. It, any any other phone is just not worth that kind of money.

yes in Canada too, more than 1000CAD for the 128Gb
prices are high for this phone

Oh absolutely. If they are trying to get an extremely premium price for it, Apple could swoop in and drop the price of the iPhone 6 to draw people away. I really want the edge but I'm having a hard time justifying that much of a price jump over the standard S6.

I can hardly believe that more than 10% of those thinking about S6 Edge will go for cheaper iPhone instead.
amazon.de have S6Edge 64GB for 950 Euro ion pre-order.

Seems to me that, if it's non expandable, Samsung have got to make the larger sizes generally available, unlike previous models.

Sorry, I was speaking of the S6 in general. While the edge is awesome, the novelty isn't worth $150 extra over a standard S6.. (If the pricing howipig posted is correct) but maybe that's just me. I REALLY want one but anything over $75-100 USD more than the standard S6 isn't worth it.

If they do it like they did the note Edge
Regular 32gb S6 will be about $699
S6 Edge 32gb will be about $799

Which are the first 20 or more countries that will be getting the Galaxy S6 Edge is what i am looking for

Mobile fun has the prices up already. There very costly and as much as I want one its not going to be an immediate purchase. 500 quid seems an acceptable amount for a phone, once you go past that it's getting a little silly.
Sure I have a note 4 but I got it on contract so I didn't really notice I paid for it.

Apple never lowers their prices even when the new model is due in a couple of weeks. Yet you see the retailers selling them at a discount because they have to meet sales numbers to Apple as part of their contract. The Carriers can lower the on contract price for the phones 4-6 months out and then again when we draw closer to a new model to clear inventory.
My only question is what are the capacities the US Carriers are going to offer, I want 128GB Edge, color is negotiable.

I have the t mobile jump plan, so I'm my phone bill will only jump up about 15 dollars more a month than it is now. Only have to pay that for a year or until I pay half the phone off then jump again next March or April. I'm probably getting the black 64 or 128 gb in black. Cheers everyone!

Nice. Not bad at all. Want the 64GB one in Gold but I'll be upgrading with EE so hopefully I can get a decent deal as I've been with them for 10 years and got a great upgrade last year. Wonder when we'll start seeing the 128gb ones.

Should I buy it or not?

Hi, is it worth it to pay £670 ($1043) for a 64GB Galaxy S6 Edge+ with a free samsung fast charge 5200mAh battery pack. I would be importing it from Spain and it would take upto 10 working days to arrive (from launch date September 3rd). However, many people are saying, "oh the price will depreciate loads". So that makes me think if I should buy the new iPhone which will be £700 in UK. Or should I just buy the 32GB S6 Edge+ which I can get for £560 ($872). In my opinion Hong Kong has the best S6 Edge Plus because it is 64GB and has Dual Sim, but I don't know anyone in Hong Kong to post it to me
P.S. What is the difference between the Asia and Europe models - G928C and G928F?

okay, thanks. But I like my local storage. And I saw that the OS takes about 8GB so on the 32GB model you are left with 24GB and on 64GB model you are left with 55GB. I'm not sure if I should buy 32GB or 64GB. Because the euro rate is fluxuating, at paypal rates 905 euro = £683
If I pre order though, I will get a free samsung fast charge 5200mAh battery pack.
I'm still not sure which GB to get?

If you can afford it, get a 64 gig variant. I do not have much use of space but still chose 64GB variant since I know I wont be upgrading till next 18 months and it never hurts to have a few extra gigs left in case I choose to fill it up with high end games. You should prioritize and make a list of things you do in your phone and how much memory, in avg., would that consume. :silly:

I'll probably keep the phone until next august to buy the next one lol. I just sold my iPhone 6 Plus 64GB and on that I used 31GB in total. I don't know if it is worth paying £680 for 64GB. Should I wait a month for prices to fall or not?

If you can, I would say definitely wait for a month or so. Samsung price always goes down withing months, not to mention, thanksgiving is very near too... You will save some $100-$150 I'm guessing. :laugh: I'm just not patient enough!

I'm not so sure if anything is going to change within a month of the release. However, if you're open to buying from eBay, you might see some considerable drop in price. I personally do not prefer buying from eBay, and when I do, I take some time to do some analysis on the seller.

Nexus 6p real price?

What is the real price of the Nexus 6p 64gb version + taxes and shipping to Florida("free")??
I want the phone, but it seems like the price is going to be almost the same as the Note 5

(Price of phone) x (sales tax) + (price of phone) + (free shipping)= price of phone. Should be easy to figure out.

Order phone from Huawei and there is no tax and free shipping. At least it was for me and I'm in new York.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app

Well Florida tax is 7% if I'm not mistaken so the 64gb model is 549*7%+549=$587.43 total cost with free shipping. Let's not forget the $50 in GP credit if you buy it from google. It's still chepaer than a Note by a long shot. The 128gb model is still cheaper than most phones so its a steal for the 32 & 64gb models

You can just times it by 1.tax. So 549*1.07
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

What part of Florida. Sales tax depends on the county. Base sales tax is 6%, but some counties add extra. Alachua adds an extra 0.25%, Tallahassee adds 1%. Where I am in South Florida its 6%. Total for the 64GB should be:
$581.94
I bought a case with mine so if you're interested in that, $619.03 shipped.

If you can't afford and figure out the extra $30 for tax, then you really should save your money and not buy a new phone. Sounds like you have bigger problems.

No where near, this is a very simple calculation.
$549 x .055(sales tax, in my case 5.5%) = 30.20
$549 + 30.20 = $579.20 Nexus 6P shipped to my door.
Note 5 retail is at minimum $792 according to this quick search that I know is not the end all, but it's a good general idea. The Verizon site agrees with Android Central on the $792 price tag.
Nexus 6P will likely be at least $200 cheaper off contract.

He is saying that if 6p costs the same as note 5, then he might as well go with the note 5 since it is better device anyways

Actually Im not in Miami, I live in Costa Rica, so I buy the phone, send it to Miami and they send it to my country, so Im going to pay another 13.5% more in taxes here... Isnt a big deal as you can see my signature Im a nexus fan, but the note 5 is about $650 here and the s6 edge 32gb $550...

This would have been good to know at the beginning of the thread.

I see why you may think you want the note 5, Huawei is Costa Rica is portrayed as a crap brand mainly because Costa Rican companies only import crap.
Huawei is huge in China but sadly the Huawei phones that have been imported in CR are the super lower end phones from that company.
Now, Samsung sucks really, not all the phones but as a whole brand they do. now, imagine you have only used the lower end phones from samsung, like the Duos. You would have an awful image (more than usual) of samsung as a brand.
I sometimes think that is why some iPhone users stay with Apple, they "try to move to android" but instead of getting a good phone they buy some cheap android phone and start saying that their iphone that costs x3 o x4 more is better...
Anyways, you should just get the Nexus 6p and stop worrying about it.

Already tried to preorder 2 Nexus 6p 64gb one frost white and another graphite for my GF but every time I get this: "Your order was declined because it was considered high-risk. Please try again in 30 minutes [BM-CPE-13]" i even tried again in 30 minutes like it said and it still did'nt work
However, my debit card will work on other things or stores(amazon, ebay etc), I have bought more than 5 phones for me and my family, friends etc, chromecast and tablets from google store before.

Buy or not?

I'm really tempted to get this phone after being somewhat underwhelmed by Pixel XL. Is MiFavor decent at all, does it have any theming options? Can you use Substratum on it? I really hope for CM13 and all of the other custom Roms on top of course but is it all or nothing in your guys opinions? Cheers

I had the Axon 7 like 2 months ago then sold it and got a Oneplus 3, and have the Galaxy s7 edge as a backup. So then sold the Oneplus 3 it was a beautiful phone, but it was a second hand so had some scratches on the screen and it was bothering. So anyway went back to the GS7 Edge and that phone is I have it already 5 months still cant get used to the edges, they are very uncomfortable no matter in which case i use with it. So decided that in my opinion the Axon 7 was the best. With its ergonomics speed and everything.
It has the best speakers, headphone sound, software its smooth also no bugs that bother me. Mostly its stock Android with little added features. Money doesn't matter for me if i want i can get any phone. Didn't like the Pixels thats Google becoming Apple making a walled garden soon. Im running stock no root or anything the Axon 7 is like Htc M8 perfected . This should have been instead of HTC 10 . Stupid HTC. The camera is very good beautiful sharp pictures compared to Gs7edge which makes the pictures face like painting. And is better the Oneplus 3 in my opinion. Anyway sorry for the long story, but its the best phone for me now. Buy and enjoy.

axon got best audio quality but louder headphone output got us version. htc 10 dosen't have this problem and got better camera. pixel - waste money but if you don't care about audio and camera and need latest software update - go in

Nexues was supposed to get the latest updates. That's bull****. Look at all the Nexuses 6p, 5x and all before it all good phones but not the latest updates. So Google is not even providing updates of its phones and we blame the other manufacturers.

I'm also very interested in this phone, so i just bought it from Amazon...
But one thing is very weird, yesterday the phone cost 500 euros, today it cost only 248 euros (grey version only, the dark version cost 484 euros).
So i ordered it, but i was just wondering is it normal that the prices are like roller-coster ?? It's an import from Germany, i live in France. I just hope that it's not a scam...
Where did you guys who live in Europe bought it ?

I bought it from amazon. de for 449 â?¬. I think you can't get it for 250 it must be a scam or you are looking at axon mini. I live in Slovenia and the phone is top noch. Yuo should buy it from official amazon. de and not resellers...

What're did you get it for €250. Not possible i don't think. I bought mine from amazon uk and was advertised as the 6gb 128gb model so jumped at it paid £470 around €530 i think it was at the time . Got Sent the 4gb 64gb version and seller says he never advertised the 6gb version. Why would i buy the same phone for more money from him? ****!! €449 on amazon.de and .fr and all deliver quickly.
Lucky i had screenshot to send to amazon of the actual phone i ordered. Some dodgy sellers on there as well.

S7 edge to S8+

How many of you interested in upgrading to S8+ is there will be any difference between 4gb ram and 6gb ram if upgrading to S8+

I think it's not worth the upgrade. I'll wait for note 8

Barely any difference tbh definately not worth the price tag if you currently have a s7e that's for sure
You'd be paying for the screen only. just flash a S8 Port Rom and bingo saved $700
Like the guy above me i think ill wait for the note 8 :good:

If the Note 8 looks like the leaks from today, I guess ill wait for the S9... So far, very pleased with my S7E

Thanks for your opinion guys

I have upgraded to the s8+, it's only got 4GB of RAM here in the UK. SM-G955F.
From what I can tell so far, there's no real difference.
The only reason I upgraded was because of the price I ended up paying, and the fact that it'll hold up value-wise when the Note 8 comes out instead of depreciating further like how I imagine the S7e will.
Also, it's pretty.
