If you're on the market for a brand new Android smartphone with all the fancy bells and whistles, this might just be your lucky day.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is now being sold on eBay for only $499. That is a substantial 31 percent discount off the full price of the smartphone if you decided to purchase it from one of the carriers.
The deal is for a 32GB Galaxy S6 Edge, which was, once upon a time, an AT&T device. However, the smartphone has been unlocked and is now available for use on whatever network you subscribe to.
The smartphone for sale is brand new. However, the seller notes that the box has been opened to unlock the phone, saying that there might be "minor blemishes" as a result. Other than that, the device has not been used for other purposes, and will likely look good as new when it reaches your doorstep. The only colors available are black or white, and the phone is only available to buyers in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany and Australia.
For those who prefer the Galaxy S6, Tech Times reported earlier that T-Mobile is selling the device for $580, thrown in with a car charger for good measure. The Galaxy S5 is also available on a similar promo and currently costs only $400 with the car charger.
As a refresher, the Galaxy S6 Edge is a good-looking smartphone featuring an all-metal body, not unlike that of the iPhone 6, and a curved screen. It is powered by Samsung's Exynos 7420 chipset and 3GB of RAM and sports a nice 5.1-inch display with a resolution of 1,440 x 2,560 pixels. The camera is a 16MP shooter declared by DxOMark as the best phone camera to date, although with the new devices up for unveiling later this month, the Galaxy S6 Edge's camera is up for a lot of major competition.
The smartphone has support for wireless charging using the Qi and PMA standards and has a fingerprint scanner for enhanced security and a heart rate sensor. The Galaxy S6 Edge comes with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop out of the box, although it can be updated to Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, depending on your carrier.
