    Verizon Galaxy S6 models now shipping, just in time for worldwide launch

    Verizon’s been a little behind the other carriers in shipping its Galaxy S6 and S6 edge pre-orders, but some evidence uncovered today shows that the Cadillac of carriers isn’t wasting time getting its pre-order shipments to excited customers.

    Verizon is sending emails to pre-order customers, informing them that as of today, April 8, 2015, pre-order GS6 and S6 edge models are shipping and should be at your residence soon. If you didn’t know, you can still go view the Galaxy S6 at Best Buy here in the US, to get a feel for what you can expect when your package arrives.

    There are a few things we’d like to remind you about as you eagerly await your Galaxy S6 or S6 edge. First, if you order the 32GB models, you can expect 23GB of storage out of the box, although Verizon’s carrier apps could steal more storage from the remaining amount left on your device. Samsung is to be commended for increasing its storage models, since many a tech journalist has aptly stated that 16GB is not enough for the needs of most smartphone users. 32GB should suffice, and cloud storage services such as Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive will aid you in extraordinary circumstances.

    Next, check your device carefully when you open the box for the first time. Some T-Mobile users are seeing scratches and dead pixels on their new beauties, and you want to make sure to spot the problems immediately so as to inform your carrier in the event you are an unfortunate recipient of a smartphone with defects right out of the box. As we reported on earlier today, Samsung’s camera flash software bug could be a problem for you if bad luck befalls you.

    Then, you should charge your device. It’s tempting to have some hands-on time with the device, but you may want to charge it first, to make sure that your fun lasts a while. AT&T customers will have worse battery drain than most other US customers, since the packaging is responsible for reducing battery drain below normal levels before the customer receives the device.

    When all of this is said and done, sit down, take a few deep breaths, and write SamMobile to tell us about your experience with the Verizon Galaxy S6 or S6 edge. Feel free to drop us a comment (or two, or five) below and tell us what you like, what you don’t, and whether or not you’ve spotted a pixel, camera flash, overheating, or other random problem with your Galaxy S6 or S6 edge. And yes, we know that someone out there in the blogosphere will likely crack the “edge” of the S6 edge just a few days after it arrives. For those of you who put the S6 edge through your own “torture test,” we’d love to hear from you, too.
