Does anyone know if O2 will be offering all the colour choices for these when they're on sale? The placeholders only list the Black, White and Gold, and not the Blue (S6) or Green (S6 Edge).

 

Cheers

Given all the problems I've had with the battery on my S4 I'm very reluctant to buy a phone without a removable battery no mater how good it looks

The S4 had a known battery issue.  Samsung replaced faulty batteries under warranty.  The unofficial test demonstrated to me by a Samsung representative was to take it out and spin it on the table.  If it spun, (because it had bulged), it was faulty.

And when you buy one, thinking it's really cool, you find that you can't get accessories to match.

 

I bought my rose gold Note 3 from phones4u, (sob!), and it's currently got a white s-view cover, because there isn't a rose gold one.

 

I'm beginning to wish I'd bought the pink one now Evil

Reading the reviews there seems to be doubt as to it's authenticity.....


That's surprising as it's listed as a genuine Samsung by Amazon who are the seller. 

Normally fakes are via 3rd party Chinese sellers so amazon could get into a bit of bother over things like this

Yeah, I noticed that...  perhaps viridis is counterfeiting them Evil ?

 

Also, the description says brown, but the photo shows the same white one I've already got, (except that mine is genuine Samsung).

 

Besides, I'll need a pink one if I upgrade Smiley Very Happy
