Leak shows Galaxy S6 Edge+ pre-orders start August 21

Leak shows Galaxy S6 Edge+ pre-orders start August 21



Samsung appears to have confirmed, likely by accident, that the upcoming Galaxy Note 5phone will indeed be joined by a curved model. The company's French site has a pre-order page for the "Galaxy S6 Edge+," as spotted by Samsung. It's shown with a Level Bluetooth headset in a bundle that will be go on order between August 21st and September 3rd. That means there's a strong chance it'll launch on August 21st and hit stores around September 4th. However, the dates could apply strictly to the bundle, and not the phone itself.
We'd take all this with some salt, but the dates do line up closely with earlier rumors about the Galaxy Note 5 -- according to the WSJ, Samsung wanted to release it ahead of Apple's iPhone 6S. The photo on the page matches an earlier leak, but it also looks exactly the same as a regular Galaxy S6 Edge. Other than that, there's not a lot of information about the device. It's rumored to be around 5.5-inches and have the same internals and, of course, curved screen as its smaller brother. You won't have to wait long to find out -- both devices should be revealed at Samsung's Unpacked event on August 13th.


And in a recent round of leaks, Samsung itself confirmed the launch of the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus by putting up a photo of the curved phone on its French website days ahead of the official launch.


It also stated that the phone would be up for pre-order starting August 21. The company, however, later pulled the announcement page.
