Preorder thread - Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion

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.

Ordered a Gold regular at around 9am ET. Confirmation page from T-mobile stated Shipping: 02/24/2016 via UPS Expedited Next Day Air. Probably just a mistake but crossing my fingers it isn't!!!

Edge for the UK

Okay the press release reported said that 14 November was the pre order date.
Well the Samsung UK web site mentions the Note Edge but it is not available to pre order. CPW say it is not available for pre order and think it has not been fully tested for UK networks. Stratford Samsung store are not taking pre orders. Vodafone say they are still negotiating with Samsung.
Please add your news and information.
No news but I too was eagerly waiting for more information today.
Vodafone offered me a superb retention deal on the Note 4 but I declined because I dislike the build quality and back cover of the note 4.
However I am willing to overlook these for the extra screen in the edge.
The edge should not be priced higher than the note 4 regardless of additional costs of manufacturing. It should be priced at the same level as the note 4 and simply be the product to tempt customers to Samsung where the Note 4 was not enough. I know I will not pay a premium for this phone and will be expecting the same retention deal when I call Voda on the 28th.
CPW now say Edge is coming in December
It won't be long at all for pre orders. Samsungmobileuk tweeted 8 hours ago approx a cryptic message that was easy to decipher however the price with be expensive at first.
Good thing I didn't wait. I am very happy with my purchase. Using my 3 network sim in it. Super fast and super everything!
I did an unboxing video last week, tomorrow I will upload a couple more videos show edge screen features and the flip wallet. ?

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

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

If they don't have enough stock, then they'll prioritize the pre orders. I have pre ordered mine on the first day. Haha
There are no info about release date in Lebanon, you can just reserve one.

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

S6 Edge India Users Thread

Hi
Hi just pre ordered S6 edge and found that they will have only black and white edition and the memory size is 32 GB to start with that's the available one on release date it seems , so i went ahead and checked in all the website to see if they have any pre book for 64 gb and found no amazon or Samsung doesn't carry but flip-kart does so , i'm planning to book one through flip-kart also will see who gets the 64 gb first .any other inputs.
Finally a Indian specific thread
I also pre ordered black 32 GB s6 edge. As per the Samsung dealer, 64GB version will be available after 2 months from the launch so i don't have any other option than 32 Gb version which is disappointing

Was anybody able to figure out if it supports Bands 3,40 ( Jio ) ? Samsung stores have no clues about this and the website just mentions "cat 6"
Knowing samsung, they just might release a "4G" S6 in a few months like they did with the S4 and S5.
Does anyone know of the availability of the S6 Edge Green Emerald?
As of now only white and black and 32gb s6,s6 edge , so we have to wait for another month or 2 to get other variants and colors .

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.
http://imgur.com/001E1R6
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.

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.

Preorder Extras

According to Samsung "Get the new Gear VR with Controller for free, plus Oculus content bonus when you pre-order the Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+". Excellent! Of course, whats extras w/o some hoops to jump through!
https://promos.samsungpromotions.com/infinitelyimmersiverules/
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...s-optional-discounts-headphones-microsd-card/
The promo is valid for GS8 or GS8 Plus orders placed between 3/30/2017 and 4/20/2017. Regardless of which bundle you do, you will have to submit proof of purchase to Samsung and wait for the promo items to show up. That could take a few weeks. Documents from the valid purchase period must be submitted by May 14th.
The only thing Samsung offered me in the UK with the upgrade programme was insurance
I wonder if the deal is region exclusive... It's definitely in the US & Canada for sure, but no idea on other regions.
last year was the same , then people start write to samsung and they give gear vr in uk as well if I remeber correctly
Last year you had a choice of the Gear S2 smartwatch or the Gear VR. There was a very limited number of the watches and I was one of the lucky ones to get one. I already had a Gear VR. I sold the watch for $175.00. There was also a little known promotion of a free Samsung 32gb SD card that I took advantage of.

Was that only for Verizon or can you get that same deal with the other carriers too? I did take a look at their site, and while I do know that you have to pre-order in the warehouse, I only saw Verizon's logo on the ad for it...
I already pre-ordered my phone at Best Buy, so if there's a better deal at Costco, maybe I could put an order there?

As far as I can tell from calling samsung, no GearVR is offered in the UK... That sucks!

I believe it is Verizon only unfortunately. Sams club offers the Gear VR + Controller and a $150 cash card to sams. Id rather buy it from there instead of the ~$44 headset from costco.

Yup the UK and Europe is obviously not that important to Samsung. I called them and was basically told that the Samsung marketing department made a strategic decision to push this only to the States. So now you know where we stand with that and probably with updates going forward

Yep, it is. I confirmed that when I went to Costco earlier today. :/ I don't have a Sam's club near me, so that's not even an option for me.
I wish such deals exist in the netherlands, you get nothing!

You have to submit it on Samsung Promotions AFTER you receive your device. Not 100% sure if you have to pay for the extra before you submit the rebate, or if it's an option when you try to redeem the promo and you'd pay then.
I have pre ordered mine with Vodafone UK, they didn't offer anything other than getting the phone a few days early.

It's disappointing that Samsung or the carriers offer any incentive really to pre-order. I would have like the charging stand/pad as a free option, or a large capacity high speed sd card for the phone!!
