While the Samsung Galaxy S6 will be announced on March 1 at Mobile World Congress, the release date of the device may be sometime for April.
Latest report suggests that the device will be released in April in India. It is unknown if this release date will be the same for other areas of the world.
The source for the report also suggests that the new device might be up for pre-order starting in mid-March. This is great news for those who have been waiting for the release of the device but didn't want to wait too long after it was announced.
It's important to note that the report does not specify whether or not the release date refers only to the Samsung Galaxy S6, or if it also includes the version with a curved screen, the Galaxy Edge. It is likely that they will be released at different times given the fact that the Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy Note Edge were released at different times last year.
While rumors about the Galaxy S6 lineup have been plentiful over the past few months, details about the Galaxy S Edge have remained somewhat a mystery. It is currently not known if the device will be a limited run or if it will be much more expensive than its non-curved display counterpart.
While we don't know if the April release date will happen in the rest of the world as well, given the fact that last year the device was released worldwide on April 11, it is likely that a similar thing will happen this year. That's not to say that the device will be released on April 11, but rather that it will be released worldwide on the same date, or at least the same time frame.
It was recently confirmed that AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile would all carry the Samsung Galaxy S6, with all three carriers having posted teasers to the device. Verizon has yet to confirm whether or not it will carry the device.
Executives from the three carriers that have confirmed their involvement with the device have also reportedly said that the Galaxy S6 is the best designed Samsung device that they had ever seen, and that it even goes as far as to beat the Apple iPhone 6 as far as design goes. This suggests that the release of the new device will usher in a new era for Samsung.
