September looks set to be an extremely busy month with rumors of an iPhone 6s launch kit for September 9 and a Nexus 2015 launch at the end of September. This month should be an interesting one for Samsung Galaxy S6 users and buyers, and today we want to take a look at a few things waiting for you.
Rumors that surfaced towards the end of February pointed to the arrival of two brand new flagship smartphones from Samsung. Reports cited the company’s flagships as the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, and these are the two devices that Samsung brought to the stage during its event at Mobile World Congress.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge have quickly become two of the best smartphones on the market, thanks to their powerful hardware, new design languages and softened Android software. They remain the best choices as we enter fall.
The Galaxy S6 Android 5.1.1 update has improved the two devices, and Samsung and its partners have lowered their prices in response to the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+. These two devices were launched before IFA in August.
Things are starting to get interesting for Galaxy S6 users and those looking to buy one. We’ve seen a few new software details emerge, and we’ve seen some new competitors appear on the horizon. Apple’s iPhone 6s launch is just a few days away, and Google is reportedly set to launch new Nexus smartphones at the end of September.
With things starting to heat up all over the Galaxy S6, we want to take a look at a few things Galaxy S6 buyers and users can expect from Samsung and its competitors in September. Keep these in mind as you move deeper into the moon.
Galaxy S6 Android 5.1.1 Lollipop Updates
As we mentioned, you can expect Samsung to continue rolling out Android 5.1.1 Lollipop to the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.
Today, Canadian carriers finally started pushing These are the long-awaited updates and we expect a few more Galaxy S6 Android 5.1.1 updates to come as Samsung tries to update their flagships ahead of Google’s Android Marshmallow release.
The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge have been the focus of Android 5.1.1 so far, and we don’t expect that to change in the future.
Samsung Pay
The company’s new mobile payment platform, Samsung Pay, will go on sale in the United States on September 28. Given that Samsung has had to delay the service once before, we don’t expect that date to change.
Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ support this feature out of the box, while Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge do not. They require software updates and we expect these software updates to become widespread in the near future.
Sprint already Samsung Pay releases compatibility updates For the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, and other carriers, they should upgrade their models in time to launch later this month.
Samsung Galaxy S6 No Android Marshmallow Edition
Google’s Android Marshmallow update has been confirmed for the third quarter, which means it will be released before the end of September. And with a Nexus event confirmed for September 29, there’s a good chance we’ll see concrete details emerge there.
If we see Samsung confirm Android Marshmallow release details this month, we expect those details to be extremely limited. We wouldn’t have expected it to outline concrete release dates and outline a full changelog.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge will likely be among the first to receive the Android 6.0 update from Samsung, given its flagship status. That said, we expect the first updates and concrete details to arrive outside of September.
Tons of Competition
If you’re considering buying the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge, expect to face some serious competition in the next few weeks.
Apple has a media event scheduled for September 9. There, the company will reportedly unveil two new flagship smartphone models and Galaxy S6 rivals, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.
Both are expected to come with some powerful features that should put them on the same pedestal as the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.
You should also expect two new Nexus phones from Google. September 29. The company will reportedly announce an LG Nexus 5 2015 and a Huawei Nexus, both of which will be serious contenders for the Galaxy S6.
Nexus phones are still solid Android options, thanks to their hardware, fast software updates, and affordable price points. We expect both of these Nexus to be serious alternatives to Samsung’s current flagships.
New Galaxy S6 Price Discounts
We expect these new phones to be a catalyst for more Galaxy S6 deals and price cuts. The iPhone 6s and these new Nexus phones should cause some retailers to offer new Galaxy S6 deals that drive prices even lower than they are now.
We don’t expect a big sale, but we’d be surprised if the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge price points hold steady in September. Stay tuned for Galaxy S6 deals this month. You should find a few if you do some research before you buy.
