Pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge on Verizon begin April 1st

Verizon has just announced that pre-orders for both the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge will begin on April 1st. While we now have an official pre-order date, the carrier has yet to mention when the phone will actually become available.

Verizon is one of the first US carriers to reveal any specific dates regarding the handset. Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T (among others) have announced that they’ll eventually carry the devices, but these carriers only allow users to pre-register for them so far. With that said, we couldn’t imagine it will be too much longer until the other carriers hop on-board with pre-orders dates.

Wondering what we’re talking about? At MWC 2015, Samsung recently announced its two newest flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. Both devices feature almost identical specifications, including a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with an impressive resolution of 1440×2560. Also on-board is Samsung’s own Exynos 7420 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32/64/128GB of internal storage and a 16MP rear-facing camera. The S6 Edge has a slight curve to it on each side, and also comes with a slightly larger battery. Both devices also come in a number of different colors. We went hands-on with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge a few days ago, and you can find links to those posts below.
