The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ is now official, and it’s set to go on sale in the UK very soon.
The S6 Edge+ is Samsung’s latest phablet, and launches alongside the Galaxy Note 5 – that latter won’t be coming to the UK.
The South Korean tech giant’s new handset has a number of impressive features, including a curved dual-edge screen, an Exynos 7420 processor, 4GB of RAM and a 3,000mAh battery.
EE has confirmed to TrustedReviews that the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ UK release date is 4 September – that’s ahead of the rumoured 9 September unveiling of the iPhone 6s.
We’ve rounded up a list of retailers and networks that have confirmed that they’ll be stocking Samsung’s new scaled-up smartphone.
