Updated: Samsung Galaxy S6 release date: where can I get it?

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is official, and it's sporting a fancy metal unibody and glass front and rear - it's quite possibly the best looking Galaxy ever, but perhaps the Galaxy S6 Edge has just stolen that title.

In terms of the Samsung Galaxy S6 release date it'll be available on April 10 in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB variants, but pre-orders are now open.

Samsung

You can now pre-order your Samsung Galaxy S6 online or in one of the firm's dedicated stores, but only in its 32GB or 64GB capacities.

If you're in the market for the 128GB Galaxy S6 you'll have to wait, and Samsung hasn't provided a date or price for this model just yet.

You've got the choice of four colours (black, white, gold, blue), although only the black, white and gold can currently be pre-ordered with blue "TBC".

The 32GB model is £599.99 SIM-free, with the black and white versions shipping on April 10, while the gold handset launches a few days later on April 15. The 64GB version meanwhile is £660 SIM-free and has an April 24 ship date for all three colours.

Carphone Warehouse

Carphone Warehouse has the Samsung Galaxy S6 up for pre-order too, and there's the choice of picking it up on contract or SIM-free.

Available in black, white or gold the 32GB Galaxy S6 is priced at £599.99, the 64GB version will see you part with £659.99 while the 128GB comes in at a wallet trembling £739.99.

Meanwhile on contract you'll be able to choose tariffs from O2, Vodafone and EE - with Vodafone currently offering tariffs which require no upfront charge.

Pre-order the Galaxy S6 from Carphone Warehouse and you'll get a free wireless charger (worth £39.99) thrown in to sweeten the deal.

O2

On O2 if you pre-order the Galaxy S6 the bubbly network will throw in a free Fitbit Charge for good measure, with the black and white 32GB models arriving on April 10 and the gold version landing on May 1.

If you fancy the 64GB version then all three colours are listed as available from May 1. Anyone looking for the 128GB model will be out of luck, as it's not currently available for pre-order, though you can register for updates on its availability.

The headline tariff for the 32GB model is a two year contract at £41 per month with a £69.99 upfront charge, unlimited texts and minutes and 3GB of data, but there are 15 different options to choose from in total.

EE

You can also pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S6 via EE, with the 4G-centric network recommending its £43.49 per month two year deal with a £49.99 upfront cost for the 32GB handset and 4GB of data.

Only the 32GB and 64GB models are available (in black, white and gold) for pre-order here, with both expected to be delivered by April 13 if you get it in white or black or April 28 for the gold version.

There are 20 pay monthly plans to choose from in total, but they're all pretty pricey so you may want to shop around.

Vodafone

Pre-orders for the Galaxy S6 are also up and running at Vodafone, and you can bag yourself a 32GB, 64GB or 128GB model - there's no restrictions here.

There's a choice of 3G and 4G contracts, as well as 12 and 24 month plans, although we'd say you're best going for a two year, 4G tariff.

Take our advice and one of your options is a free Galaxy S6 at £48.50 per month with unlimited minutes and texts, 7GB of data and your choice of a 24 month Now TV, Spotify or Sky Sports Mobile TV subscription.

Three

Three will also be stocking the Samsung Galaxy S6 on 24 month contracts with the added benefit of being able to use your phone abroad in 16 countries at no extra cost.

Pre-orders are now open for both the 32GB and 64GB versions with an upfront cost of £49.

The 32GB version is available with all you can eat data for £47 a month, 2GB of data for £42 a month or 1GB for £39 a month.

Meanwhile the 64GB version is a little extra at £43 for the 1GB, £46 for the 2GB or £51 a month for the all you can eat data package.

Both versions are available in black, white and gold, with the 32GB model set to deliver on April 10 in black or white or April 21 for the gold model, while all three 64GB colours have an estimated delivery date of April 21.

The community driven network will also be ranging the Galaxy S6 in its three storage variants and in gold, white and black, though only the latter two colours for the 128GB model. Sign up online to be kept up to date.

Tesco Mobile

Over on Tesco Mobile you'll be able to bag yourself a free Samsung Galaxy S6 on a range of tariffs, the cheapest of which is a not too shabby price of £36 per month for two years.

You'll get 1000 minutes, 5000 texts and 2GB of data for your monthly outlay. There's no pre-order option at the moment, with Tesco only allowing you to pre-register your interest for now. You'll be able to pre-order the S6 in black, white or gold from April 7.

Virgin Media

Virgin Media has confirmed the Samsung Galaxy S6 will be available from its stores and online from April 10, with the handset available in white, black and gold in 32GB and 64GB sizes.

Tariffs will start at £31 per month with no upfront cost if you're a Virgin Media customer or from £36 per month if you're not. Either way you'll get 250 minutes, 250MB of data and unlimited texts for your money.

Online retailers

The SIM-free pre-order price for the Galaxy S6 over at MobileFun is £599 for the 32GB model - saving you a whole 99p over Samsung's retail price.

Meanwhile over on Unlocked-Mobiles the Galaxy S6 is priced slightly lower at £584.98, although you can only register your interest for now.

Clove also has a pre-order page for the Galaxy S6 and its prices are even lower, with the 32GB model coming in at £575, while the 64GB version is £630 and 128GB will cost you £699.
