S6 Owner Discussion Thread - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6

The only problem is that the 64 GB S6 and the 32 GB S6 Edge are the same exact price. While the 32 GB S6 is $120 cheaper than the 32 GB S6 Edge. Decisions!!
Title Note: Mod changed to allow this to continue as a owner thread. This should include preorders and normal orders afterwards.

Just placed my order for a 64GB Black S6.
I'm supposed to get it on 4/10. We'll see.
Now I need to decide which case to get. I really like my otterbox commuter, but I'll need to weight that against the spigen cases. And also really hoping Spigen decides to make a glasr for the s6.
**UPDATE**
I cancelled my original pre-order made on the 28th. I then replaced my order on the 5th. My order is pending just like the first one was.
** 2nd UPDATE** Still getting it tomorrow, the 8th.

Dude I got the same exact one lol.

Ordered the edge gold 64. 2-3 weeks to ship ?

Im waiting for morphie case to be released

Welp I ordered mine yesterday afternoon through bestbuy. First 65000 to preorder with them gets a free wireless charging dock. Sucks only 3 colors are available to preorder. I was really looking forward to the emerald green. :/

I preordered a black 64gb s6 at the local sprint store Friday. I would have done it at best buy but I have a corporate account and best buy couldn't do the order. Have you heard tmobile preorders are getting shipped out now and will be arriving at the users houses this week? I hope sprint wants to ship them out sooner too.

just as i said would happen.. only black and white available... probably not sprints fault, but samsung and their over-market, never deliver B.S.. as usual. probably won't be able to get one of their over-marketed colors until 3 months later.
after seeing the prices i will wait a few months for prices to plummet. the 64Gb edge is $400 with 2 year contract lol. fking samsung think they can sell prices the same as apple does. like seriously, $100 more for the Edge.. i bet it cost them practically the same to manufacture. what a markup.. I want the Non-Gimmick Edge anyway. $199 for 32GB w/2 years agreement, $350 for 64Gb with 2 yrs. $150 more for 32gb space.. no wonder they wanted to get rid of SD cards..
pricing is not right. the S6 32gb is $199 for 64gb its $350... S6 Edge 32gb is $300, for 64GB its $400.. basically the 32GB to 64GB S6 cost $50 more than the edge version. such BS.

I am struggling with the 64GB edge or the 128GB regular S6.
both are $400 on contract.... YUCK.

They have to recoup the R&D costs for the edge. But I'm with you on the colors. I was ready to buy a Nexus 6 64GB in white. If only sprint would have actually offered one. I really wanted the blue or green one but ordered black instead.

I ordered my 64 G s6 in black. I really liked the gold platinum but it is not aviable in sprint for now.

On release day after work, I'm marching to the nearest Sprint store to pay off what's left of my S5 and then grab an S6.... I'm so torn on the color though. I figured I would get black, and then buy a green back off ebay or whatever when they're available and switch that out. The white on the camera lens kills the white color option for me.

Anyone order 128gb S6? If so, do you have an eta for delivery date yet?

Ya...same here. Well, supposedly Sprint will start shipping today and we'll luckily get ours this week! #WishfulThinking

I have my fingers crossed I got the same 3-4 weeks when I ordered

I only ordered a white 32gb hoping to get tracking today.
Anyone receive their tracking?

Changed the title and going to sticky so we can try and keep people to one thread. It's going to get crazy in here otherwise.

[Q] Best Buy Showing Note 4 Verizon version as $349 today.

I've been looking at the pre-order page on BB to see if the Verizon version was available to pre-order online. Last night the price showed as $299 on contract and not yet available. Today it shows $349 on contract and not yet available. Did they up the price or is this just an error?
Wont let me post a link to it...
crap that isnt good. i was hoping $699 for off contract. crap time to sell more stuff!
still $699 at verizon! yay
Hopefully that is not the price in store as well.
Its still cheaper than verizon considering that they will accept my htc rezound as a trade in phone while verizonwireless will not.
Just hope I get some one who knows how to transfer an upgrade from one phone number to another.
When I pre ordered in store it was 299 better be that when I go to pick it up or there getting a ear full

fyi from what they told me, pre-ordering the phone doesn't mean locking in the price. if the price changed you're responsible for the new price. that's what they told me in store anyway

According to the website, the ATT and Verizon Note 4 variants are listed as $299, the Sprint Note 4 variants are listed as $349. I think its safe to say that our Note 4s are still the same price.
I'll wait until it is cheaper off contract than $700. Can't afford **** that expensive

The Verizon price has been changed back to $299 as it was originally. Part of this past week it was at $349 on the BB website.

What worst is that no more pre order for Verizon note 4 from BestBuy. I went to BB today and their system can't do pre order for Verizon N4 and so is the website, however, you still can preorder note4 with AT&T...
Maybe it's an error in their system?
Up to this day you have not been able to preorder via best buys website.
I preordered my Verizon note 4 (white) last Friday and my wife preordered her Verizon note 4 (also white) yesterday (Monday) without any issues. The phone is $299, $100 after trading in ANY working smart phone that isn't damaged (cracked screen, turns on, no water damage). There is NO minimum trade in value required unlike the Samsung promotion ($10 minimum value). They make you buy a $50 gift card as a "place holder" for the phone, you have 48 hours to pick up the phone after it arrives otherwise they will sell it to someone else. All gift cards purchased (the $50 place holder) and the $200 one you receive for trading in a phone, can all be used toward the purchase of the phone immediately.
I have spoke to the store manager, customer service, the Verizon and Samsung reps at the store. The customer service rep did say you need to bring in the charger for it, the others did not say that. I'm going to bring mine in either way. I also took their names down in case they try to pull a fast one. I suggest anyone else does the same so there are no surprises when the phone arrives.
Good luck
I'll put chargers in my car, but I'm not bringing them in unless they make noise about it. My store just said charged working phones without water or cracked screen damage.

S7 Edge, Already Stolen! :(

So I got my S7 Edge in silver delivered today from Best Buy. Someone stole the phone and all the contents out of the Samsung box and put the empty box back in the shipping box. WTF???

wow that's messed up.
for me, best buy 100% required a signature.
did you opt out of that on UPS.com?? they won't deliver without a signature...
Didn't opt out. I have expensive things shipped to my office. My boss actually signed for it and didn't noticed anything. The crazy things is, I bought the S7 and S7 Edge. Got the S7, 2 VRs and the 2 64gb microSDs on Tuesday. BB still showed preparing to ship status, but it got delivered this afternoon. I called them to report it and they took care of it and will be shipping me out a new one. Best part is they credited me back $100 for my troubles. That helps since I paid full price for both.
wow! that's some awesome customer service. idc what people say, I love best buy just as much as amazon.. especially because I love best buy rewards lol

Unfortunately all the BBs are out of the silver Edge so I got a refund. It's going to be a month before they get more. Called around other places and no one has them in stock. Sending bad karma to the person that stole my phone!!!

Eff that guy! People are so cruel!
The saga continues. BB has filed a claim with UPS and that has to be resolved before I can be refunded. Hell, I'm not even sure about keeping the GS7 that I already got. May just end up keeping my GS6 and GS6 Edge and forgo the S7 altogether .
The packages are weighed by the package carrier.
If you kept everything including the shipping box and any packing material.
The total weight should prove that the phone (5.54 oz) and any accessories were missing at time of shipment.
This same thing happened with a replacement Nexus 6, to this day I never got my replacement phone and had to fight them with my credit card company to stop them from charging me for the phone I never received.

Best priced!!?????

I not interested in the carrier version.
Can you tell me where can i find the best price (not amazon or ebay)
Already got in sight never_msrp and tropical_mobille.
I belive best buy is around 850 bit with the free 256 gb memory card or gear fit 2 you could sell the SD card for a lot like 230 250 usd. That lowers the price. Unlocked are closer to 950. Swappa is good for used phones. Good luck.
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Free mobile app
AT&T with the BOGO is by far the best priced, that is if you are ok with staying for 2 years as it's a monthly credit. You still get the gear fit or SD card as well. Sell one of the Note 7's while it's still hot and pay off the EIP, voila free Note 7.

Buy one note 7 get one free, or to be more specific they will give you a $695 credit spread out over 24 or 30 months (I forget which one). So it's almost free, you pay tax and when the credit runs out you pay the last 185 on the EIP. Plus you get the memory card or watch deal for each line, and the s2/tab deal.
Trying to find a dual sim model for cheap not sure which place is best to get it from...

US Samsung.com Ultra Pre Order

Just placed any unlocked 512 ultra order.
Shipping date March 4th. Haven’t got the confirmation email yet tho.
My website isn't working and keeps erroring. I also am not getting the additional $35 dollars, maybe I need to wait for an email tomorrow to get that.
Shop Samsung app kept hanging. Tried for about 15 minutes on app and website. Finally got through on the website.
Got through on website and ordered. However, I didn't see my additional $35 for pre-preordering. Guess I'll have to ask about that later.
Don't forget to load cashback. It's 10% right now.
Ordered at 12:03, got a leather case and buds+ with the $200 credit. (You must use credit at checkout or you lose it)
I am getting the S20 Ultra Cosmic Grey with 128GB and trading in a S10e for 300 discount. (I paid 400 for it on black friday so not too bad)
Order confirmed and processing 10 minutes after order placed. Est ship date 3/4. Samsung is usually early tho-Early orders may arrive by the 4th.

Pre-ordered the 128GB version. Still debating if I want to keep the order or keep the note 10+.
I like my S-Pen but I also like high touch refresh. Plus the S20 is an unlocked version, my note 10+ is Verizon. Hopefully some full reviews come out soon.
Same here, cant see my $35 preorder info?
I missed out on note 10. I ordered the s10+ last year
I would get the note10+ 5g for tmo if I got one because it is shockingly wider than the s20 ultra. I have how they are making the phones longer to inflate the screen size specs.

Just preordered S20 Ultra and Galaxy Watch 2, and traded in my Note 10+, paid $845 for all. Used the $200 credit for the watch.
I always stay away from chrome when placing a pre order. I don’t know why chrome always sucks during pre order. Maybe too many connections from same browsers.

Screens are same width, along with more usable width with slightly less curve on s20ultra. Pretty much a wash. I do agree that a wider phone, back to 18:9 would be nice.

I placed my order for othe ATT 128GB Ultra - got the 200 credit to buy ear buds - and after I completed the order received an email confirming my order and another email with the $35 credit which I can use on Samsung Shopping....that email said somehting like they noticed it didn't offer it to me when I placed my order so they wanted to make sure I received it.
I was confused by the discount as well, but I got $200 + $35 from the accessories page.
You don't get the $35 on the ultra, which is dumb.

You had to use the reservation link to get the $35. They gave me the credit after the fact because I didn't order from the reservation link.

General Anyone going to get the zfold4 after the 3?

Considering most models can't be rooted I'm not a 100% sold on another fold BUT there might not be any good alternatives though.
I might go back to OnePlus if I can get it unlocked at the beginning for custom roms, but I'd rather enjoy a device more than work on it. I have some hopes for the nothing brand but I'm not sure they're ever coming to North America.
I'd appreciate some good discussion about it and others thoughts.
Yes, I'll be looking closely at the Fold4 and if there's a reasonable tradein I'll very likely go for it.
The only alternative is the Vivo that has a great spec but not yet available outside China and will it have good support?
No. There isn't enough of an upgrade for me to bite the bullet. I'll wait to see what the Fold 5 has to offer or if there are other mfg. that come up with something better.
nahh im happy with my fold 3, does what I need and more. Fold 4 has little upgrades to make it worth it
Sammy is just not being competative. If I were to upgrade, I would be more likely to spend the $ on the Vivo X Fold. Unless Sammy has some huge surprises in 10 days - which I doubt.
Going to wait until the 5 cones out.
It would be a help if we knew when the Vivo Fold was going to be available.
If the trade in is good
Just ordered the X Fold, through Giztop.
.......so the device works in the U.S.A.?
I'm in the UK. Taking a risk but I know of another one that is working.
yeah, upgrading from Fold3 to the Fold4 1TB version
I'll be ordering the Fold4 the minute orders are open. Jury is out on Watch 5 classic 44mm though.
Just got my fold 3 on a RIDICULOUS sale, doesn't appear the generational gap between 3 and 4 is all that large. I'll be rocking the three until they announce/release the 5

How good of a sale was it if you don't mind me asking?
I got mine for what I feel like was a great price early this year. Mint condition on Swappa (and the phone really was in mint condition) for 800+plus taxes and fees

That was a steal! I'm happy for you!
Ill upgrade if the cameras are vastly improved and include periscope zoom of some sort, that's my biggest gripe with my fold 3, sub par cameras. 1tb would be a nice since im running out of storage on my 512gb fold 3 so if they offer that i may do the upgrade for that even if the cameras arent what im looking for.
Yes, I had the first 3 and haven't had any issues. Hoping for a surprise pre-order only color, but the beige looks kind of cool.
Does anyone else think it is uneconomical to upgrade after a year, without fully paying off the Fold3?
