[kanniappan]

 
THE GALAXY S6 was unveiled at this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC), a  smartphone that Samsung has designed from the ground up in a bid to  turn around its fortunes.
The Galaxy S6, which was launched alongside the Galaxy S6 Edge, features  a redesigned metal and glass casing, a 5.1in QHD screen and a  stripped-back version of Samsung's TouchWiz UI, which the firm is no  doubt hoping will help it woo buyers away from the likes of the iPhone 6  and HTC One M9.
 
 Release date
Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy S6 will be available in 20 countries, including the UK and the US, from 10 April.
 
 
 
 Price
Samsung has yet to reveal the price, but that hasn't stopped retailers  doing so. Unlocked-Mobiles hasn't yet started taking pre-orders, but has  outed the price for the 32GB Galaxy S6 as £549.08 SIM-free.
