Following the announcement of the brand new Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ and Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 this afternoon, both devices will be on sale by O2 – offering Platinum Gold and Sapphire Black versions of the S6 edge+ and the black Tab S2.



The Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ comes with 4gb RAM, wireless charging and internal storage of either 32 or 64gb will be available to pre order from 18th August and available to buy from 4th September in the UK.



Samsung Galaxy Note 5 specs are almost the same as the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+.

Which means  an octa-core processor with 2.1GHz Quad and 1.5GHz Quad cores, a 16MP rear camera and a 5MP front shooter.  Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, NFC and USB 2.0 are all powered by a 3000mAh battery.

The 5.7″ Quad HD screen is reportedly sturdier than that on the smaller S6 edge and features what Samsung call a “dual edge” display.

O2 to stock hotly anticipated new Samsung devices

O2 will be ranging the just announced Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ and Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 with both devices going on sale on 4 September. The S6 edge+ will be available in Platinum Gold and Sapphire Black while the Tab S2 will be available in black. The Galaxy S6 edge+ will also be available to pre-order on O2 in the near future.

O2 Refresh customers can be amongst the first to get their hands on the new mobile handset as unlike those on traditional two year contracts, they can break out of their existing plan and get the latest addition to the S6 range.

Refresh users who want to upgrade immediately will only need to pay off the rest of the phone portion of their bill, but can sell their previous device on O2 Recycle to make up the difference. So, for example, those cashing in their Samsung Galaxy Note 4 can receive a huge £234 and those cashing in their Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 can rake in £90.

What’s more, with O2 Refresh, customers who want to keep their handset after two years will only pay for their monthly airtime package from that point.
