Samsung is giving consumers more color variety for its flagship smartphones, introducing the Blue Topaz version of its Galaxy S6 and the Green Emerald color for the Galaxy S6 edge.
Samsung's press release says the new colors are available for consumers "now" but there's no specific launch dates or territories mentioned. We first saw these new colors during the global launch back at Mobile World Congress and it's safe to say we've been anticipating actual release information. Here's what the company says about bringing these new colors to the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge:
"The Blue Topaz Galaxy S6 represents the perfect fashion accessory for style-conscious consumers looking for a vibrant, expressive and distinctive color, and the Green Emerald Galaxy S6 edge provides a simply stunning color choice that meets the needs of those who want a sophisticated, yet unique looking mobile device," said Younghee Lee, Executive Vice President of Global Marketing, IT & Mobile Division at Samsung Electronics. "We aim to bring a truly one-of-a-kind smartphone to consumers and provide them with a seamless combination of dynamic beauty and meaningful purpose, complementing every part of their mobile lives."
Both smartphones are already available in White Pearl, Black Sapphire and Gold Platinum colors.

Samsung's Blue Topaz and Emerald Green Galaxy S6 finally seeing the light of day
I've been holding out for the new colors-- I need to see what the Active looks like before pulling the trigger, but it's nice to know that it's all close.
Crud. I just bought a white 128gb edge... :/
Available ''now"? What does "now" mean for these people? As far as I can tell, Topaz blue S6 is nowhere to be found in the US!
Exactly! It remains to be a mystery.

I just...want to put them in my mouth. They look amazing. I love those colors. If only it was more battery-er. :(
I really wish that Samsung had released all the colour variants from the get go. That way customers have a real choice of options. Even though I'm a Samsung fan... Apple certainly beat them when it comes to launching products properly
Yes, Apple launched properly with their 5 colors...oh wait.

Ikr apple only had three colors . The same three colors sammy released stop hating

Even though the S6 looks sorta meh to me, that emerald color makes it look x100 better - its just such a nice color. I'd like to see an Xperia in that color, front and back!
i'm waiting for the rest of the 2015 flagships before deciding, and don't plan on getting the S6, but these colors are enticing ... the blue with a neon blue bumper would look sick. I prefer a slightly thicker phone with bigger battery but these are really nice.
I'd be pissed if I already bought one, didn't think they'd be releasing these so quick.

Function over form, Samsung.

nice to know there's still a few OG android fans out there! no doubt these are 2 gorgeous phones though!
Posted via the Android Central App
So they should target a niche market with their flagships instead of reaching the widest market possible by making a good looking phone and sacrificing very uncommonly used features?
Posted via the Android Central App
who said that? numbers don't lie. there's no denying Samsung made the smart move, but that doesn't mean some users go against the masses

I knew waiting was a good idea. Hope VZW gets both!

Not exactly a lot of information in this article. . .
Posted via the Android Central App
Well if your looking for release information that's anybody guess . But if you want the best color right now get the gold gs6 edge

I have the blue topaz one ands had it for a week now. It was hard top find since only one store had our but it was worth the trouble ams the long drive I had to do. Its gorgeous.
Annoying auto corrections.
I'm sure it is! Beyond gorgous!!! What capacity is yours?
Posted via the Android Central App
I got the 32gb version. Personally I'm good with that. I have all my music offline from Spotify in high quality and all the apps I want and I have 16gb free. Although I wouldn't mind the 64gb version but it wasn't available in blue, only 32 was.
Posted via the Android Central App
Where to buy the blue topaz version????!
what country did u get it? I wasn't aware they got stores already
Posted via the Android Central App
In Sweden. And as I sad only one store had them. On the other stores I looked at they would get it in around the 26th.
Posted via the Android Central App
that's awesome, I'm in the US, by far the worst market for phones
Posted via the Android Central App
Umm...in the U.S.??? With T-mobile LTE support? Topaz Blue, heck yes!!!

What a load crap, Unique? nothing Unique about it as the last time I checked Unique means one of a kind.. I may be wrong but I am sure more than one will be produced
Posted via the Android Central App
Unique does mean one of a kind, and the green S6 edge is one of the most unique smartphones available.
What's the problem here?
Posted via the HTC One M9
sounds like unique is the perfect word ... what other phone looks like that emerald edge?
Posted via the Android Central App
My interpration of uniquie means one.. Not a a whole load of.. Maybe my understanding is wrong
Posted via the Android Central App
Unique: adjective
1. existing as the only one or as the sole example; single; solitary in type or characteristics:
2. having no like or equal; unparalleled; incomparable:
3. limited in occurrence to a given class, situation, or area:
4. limited to a single outcome or result; without alternative possibilities:
5. not typical; unusual:
Wow it really looks like an emerald. It be sad to put a case on it.

I'm not a huge fan of the blue (the color's fine, but I don't like how it contrasts with the metal frame).
That green, though. Damn. That is one of the nicest colors I've seen on a phone.
Just waiting for the Note 5.
Then again, a colored D-Brand Skin for my Note 4 and I'm happy.
I'm also waiting on the Note 5 myself :)

I'm also waiting for the Note 5. Hope they release these colors for it.
Posted via the Android Central App
Damn that green is foinee!!
Wish they would have released the green earlier. I'd so pick that one, but like my Gold one too.
Posted via the Android Central App
If I didnt already have one, I'd pick up that blue S6.
I like that the fronts are colored too so even if i have a case it will show. Love the blue.
Posted via the Android Central App
agreed, idk why all phones don't have the same color on the front. not huge on aesthetics but I think it's ugly when the back is white or whatever and the front black
Posted via the Android Central App
What's the point? 99% will put a case anyway. Thicker case in this case because both front and back are glass. People don't know how durable Gorilla glass 4 is. They just see glass and will cover it. Just look at people with iPhone, how many naked iPhone have you actually seen in the wild?
Clear case.

There, fixed that for ya.

I use Samsungs case from the website, just covers the back and corners
Posted via the Android Central App
cause a lot of android fans suddenly care about form over function!
seriously though, can use a clear case or bumper, and you'll still see it on the front
Posted via the Android Central App
I have seen so many busted up iPhone 4/4S that I would never consider no case on my S6. Gorilla Glass 4 is no match for a drop. I do wish the US had the blue topaz. I'd have chosen that over the white I picked up.
Posted via the Android Central App
How ingeniously premium. Let's make a truly mobile device out of slippery breakable glass!
Knowing that I have an absolutely beautiful industrial design hidden underneath my bulky $20-$75 case is just a feeling of sheer empowerment. Fabulou$ De$ign!
I've never considered a Samsung device before but that GREEN tho!
Posted via the Android Central App
That green is gorgeous!
Posted via the Android Central App
It really is. So deep.
And yet with the reflective nature of the phone so strikingly brilliant at the same time.
Unfortunately, the green is only available on the S6 Edge model. Really a shame, as I'm not a fan of the Edge
My thoughts exactly.
Posted via the Android Central App
Agreed. Guess I'll just buy a shiny green case for my Note 4.
Posted via the Android Central App
Lol
Posted via the Almighty One M9 or my retired Nexus 4
I haven't seen the new colors of the Note4. Planing to upgrade in June from my current Note2. What stores carry the new colors? Anyone, please! Thanks
Damn, I need that green in the s6.
