Galaxy S6 pre-orders starting today in India from Rs. 49,000

Samsung announced today availability details for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 in India.

The Galaxy S6 will be available in India in all three storage configurations, for Rs. 49,000 (32GB), Rs. 55,900 (64GB) and Rs. 61,900 (128GB) or $787/$898/$994 in USD. The more striking (and arguably more “premium”) Galaxy S6 Edge will be even pricier, costing Rs. 58,900 (32GB), Rs. 64,900 (64GB) and Rs.70,900 (128GB) or $945/$1042/$1140 respectively.

Likewise, all color options will be available: the shared white, black and gold, and the “exclusive” blue (S6) and green (S6 Edge).

The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge will be available in India starting with April 10 (the same day as in other 19 markets from around the world), with pre-orders beginning today on Amazon and Flipkart.

For pre-order customers, Samsung is throwing in some freebies, including a free one-time screen replacement in the first 12 months since purchase and a potential payback in case Samsung discounts the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge in the first six months of availability.
