New Delhi: While Samsung has announced the prices of the 128GB models of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge smartphones, the company has not yet made them available for pre-booking in India. The new S6 phones have been listed on the company's e-store since March 23 and are available for pre-booking in only 32GB and 64GB variants.
Users can pre-book the phone by paying a sum of Rs 2,000. The balance amount is to be paid on e-store on or before April 12 to complete the transaction. In case you don't complete the transaction, the balance amount will be refunded in due course of time, says Samsung.
The Galaxy S6 comes in three variants - 32GB for Rs 49,900, 64GB for Rs 55,900 and 128GB for Rs 60,900. The Galaxy S6 Edge, that comes with a dual-curved display, on the other hand, carries a price tag of Rs 58,900 for the 32GB model. The 64GB and 128GB variants of the Galaxy S6 Edge are priced at Rs 64,900 and Rs 70,900, respectively.
The Galaxy S6 has a flat display, while the Galaxy S6 Edge has a dual-curved display that wraps around both the left and right sides.
Stand-out features include casing made from light-weight metal used in airplanes, a step up from the plastic that disappointed many critics of the S5, and Corning's Gorilla Glass on both front and back.
The Galaxy S6 upgrades the previous version's camera and screen, and strips out many of Samsung's unpopular in-house software apps that infuriated users by gobbling memory. The new phones are powered by Samsung's new 64-bit, 14-nanometer Exynos processors.
The new handsets are also the first from Samsung to support wireless charging as a standard feature. In another departure, they have non-removable batteries to make them slimmer. To compensate for the lack of interchangeable batteries, Samsung says a 10-minute charge by cord gives four hours of power.
The new phones are critical for Samsung's plans to reverse plunging smartphone revenues that led to its first annual earnings fall in three years in 2014.
