The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge have finally landed at Barcelona’s MWC 2015, so we’ve rounded up the best places to buy both devices ahead of the April 10 launch.
The long-rumoured Galaxy S6 sees a complete spec sheet overhaul from its S predecessor. It’s carrying a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with a 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution for starters.
It’s also got Samsung’s custom-built 14nm 64-bit octa-core Exynos 7420 chipset on board, paired with 3GB of DDR4 RAM.
The S6 Edge runs a similarly high-end component roster, but also shows off an over-edge curved display, riffing on last year’s Galaxy Note Edge.
Of course, this Barcelona-based hubbub has now reached UK shores, with Blighty’s mobile retailers all keen to flog Samsung’s latest flagship wares. ‘Where can I buy the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge?’. Pretty much everywhere, it seems…
We’ll continue to update this article with all the latest Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge deals ahead of the April 10 launch. Here’s the latest…

Pippa Dunn, EE’s Chief Marketing Officer, said: “Every year Samsung uses its flagship smartphone launches to introduce a host of innovative new features and functions and this year is no different.”
“To get the very best out of the new handsets features, then users really do need to match it with the biggest and fastest UK network.”
