Samsung Galaxy S6 availability - what we know so far (Updated)

We’re here at MWC 2015, where Samsung has just taken the wraps off of its new Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge handsets. Samsung has gone back to the drawing board with these two devices in terms of build quality and software. Both devices now feature a glass front and back panel surrounded by a premium-feeling aluminum edge.

Other specifications include a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with an impressive pixel density of 577ppi. It has a Samsung Exynos 7420 processor backed by 3GB of RAM, 32/64/128GB internal storage options and no MicroSD card expansion this time around. It also features a non-removable 2550mAh battery (2600mAh for the S6 Edge), a 16MP rear-facing camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. The Galaxy S6 will be available in White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum and a Blue Topaz color, and the S6 Edge will be available in White Pearl, Black Sapphire, and Gold Platinum and Green Emerald. We went hands-on with both devices, and you can head here to see our hands-on with the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.
