The Galaxy S6 and S6 edge have not yet arrived at carrier retail stores, but both devices are starting to make their way around the world via pre-orders. We’ve seen pre-orders go live in the UK today, South Africa, Canada, and Italy, and today’s announcement concerns residents of Turkey.
Turkish carrier Turkcell has now opened up its S6 pre-orders, with 32GB Galaxy S6 for $956USD and the 32GB Galaxy S6 edge for $1,147USD.
As a refresher, both the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge feature 5.1-inch, Super AMOLED displays with Quad HD (2,560 x 1,440p) resolutions, 5MP front and 16MP back cameras with f/1.9 aperture, Samsung’s octa-core, Exynos 7420 processor, 3GB of RAM, and a minimum of 32GB of memory storage (with 64GB and 128GB versions as well), not to mention Samsung’s new in-built wireless charging feature that makes both devices compatible with the two top wireless charging standards in the industry. Early benchmarks place Samsung's Exynos processor at the top of the class when it comes to smartphone performance and speed.
The Galaxy S6 and S6 edge come pre-loaded with Android 5.0 Lollipop and a more scaled back version of TouchWiz than has ever been seen on Samsung smartphones. Both devices look to make their worldwide debut on April 10th, with the United States seeing Samsung’s best the following day.
