Leaked Samsung doc hints at March release date for the Galaxy S6, April for Galaxy S6 Edge

We already know the exact date Samsung plans on revealing the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: March 1st during their Unpacked event in Barcelona. What we don’t know is when they plan on releasing the darn thing. Last year the Samsung Galaxy S5 was officially announced on February 24th, launching globally on April 11th, 2014.


While one could assume Samsung would repeat what they did last year and launch the phone about a month after it’s been unveiled, if HTC’s same-day announcement/launch for the One M8 taught us anything, it’s that competition is fierce and being first out the gate could give Samsung that edge they need to reclaim the crown.


Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge release date tipped


Today, the folks at PhoneArena got a hold of a leaked internal document from an alleged Samsung employee, potentially revealing launch dates for both the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge by way of black out dates (dates employees aren’t allowed to take days off). According to the doc, March 22nd – March 30th are cited as mandatory work days, as well as April 19th – April 27th. If we were gambling men, we’d be willing to bet that first date is referring to the Galaxy S6, while the more difficult to produce Galaxy S6 Edge (and its curved display) will be available in late April.


Of course, nothing here is concrete and although the leak looks legit enough, the dates could be tentative. If these dates do pan out, Samsung will have effectively pulled off an announcement/launch ratio the likes very few OEMs have managed to pull off. We’ll continue to keep an eye out for you.
