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

The Samsung representatives in Jarir said it'll be available to buy on the 10th of April. Fingers crossed they have enough for everyone on that date!

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.
The rumors said only the 32gb will be available the first 3 months :crying:

Pre-order have been suspended for sometime so expect little in store availability , probably they will only fulfill the pre-orders

Time to dive in!

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
Last week I had ordered the Galaxy S6 Edge Green 128Gb from Germany and I finally received it yesterday.
Prior to this I was using the Samsung Galaxy S6 Gold GB and my wife has the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Gold 64Gb.
I am in Hong Kong and over here the Galaxy S6 Edge Green will only release in 64GB and will be out in the last week of May. I wanted the 128GB model and also wanted the G925F model.
The Galaxy S6 Gold 32GB was a good phone but the only problem was the storage, I was strugging with only 4 to 5 gb left to use and I was constantly deleting files to make sure I had at least 4GB to 5GB left to use. I don't know why Samsung opted to release the Galaxy S6 in 32gb only in Hong Kong. The Galaxy S6 Edge is available in 32gb for black and white models and 64gb only for the Gold model for now. The green model will be the next one to release in 64GB.
Anyway, I got the phone yesterday and I am very happy with it. The green model really looks nice and it feels so different than the other colors that I have used for phones. Having used the Galaxy S6 for 3 weeks, I feel the Galaxy S6 Edge is a little lighter. I am using the SGP Neo Hybrid CC Case (Satin Silver) for my Galaxy S6 Edge Green.
I also installed the SGP Curved Screen Protector.
Here are some pictures of my phone.
Where did you get it? I am still trying to find one to purchase.
I got mine from Germany but I believe the stock should soon be available in the US. The Green model 64gb will be available on 22nd May, for those who pre-ordered in Hong Kong.
A friend of mine in the US informed me that Best Buy is currently taking orders for the Green model.
Congrats, looks great !
Please use the existing thread.
Thank you.

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.
I have pre odreeerd the black one as the grey one is just too mirrorish

My S3 was Blue, but my S4 and current S6 are both White....guess I should go see them in person when they're released (whenever that turns out to be). Why wouldn't they make all colors available for pre-order, I wonder...

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.

It's will be available SOME day lol
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.
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.
I just noticed that back version was removed from the site and stores no longer have it in Stock. I am wondering did this color got discontinued. Only color available is Silver and Gold. I am returning my Note7 after second replacement not taking any risk will wait for S8 when available. Any information would be appreciated thank you in advance.

T-Mobile only offers the silver or gold. I have the silver one.
Ran into this yesterday when I returned my note 7. I wanted the black edge but Tmo doesn't sell it any more for some reason. I settled for silver and honestly I like the change now. For one, finger prints on the glass back aren't quite as obvious. I use my phones naked. Only thing I don't like is all the regulatory writing on the back; it's definitely more prominent on silver that it was on the black note 7
