Canadian carrier reveals pricing for the Galaxy S6′s wireless charging pad

Samsung’s latest smartphones, the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge, both support wireless charging straight out of the box. This is one of the advantages of the unibody construction which doesn’t allow the user to swap batteries when they please. Regardless of that obvious downside, wireless charging is a feature that many Samsung fans have been waiting for, and now its finally here. Both devices can be charged with any existing Qi wireless charger but the company will be offering a round wireless charging pad. A Canadian carrier has revealed pricing for this accessory.

According to Fido the round wireless charging pad for the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge is going to cost $59.99 in Canada. Fido revealed the price through a tweet which was later pulled but the folks at MobileSyrup were able to capture a screenshot before it faded into oblivion. The tweet also mentioned that Fido will provide the $59.99 value wireless charger for free to customers who purchase the Galaxy S6 through it.

Galaxy S6 memory benchmarks provide no equal for Samsung

With all the discussion surrounding Samsung’s Galaxy S6 and S6 edge design and TouchWiz de-bloating, it’d be easy to believe that Samsung’s latest is simply catching up to the level of other Android OEMs. While Samsung’s design may have been a little behind the times in the eyes of some Android consumers, Samsung’s latest has some other tricks up its sleeve. Alongside of increasing the devices’ memory storage from 16GB to 32GB (minimum), Samsung has also increased the memory speeds of these two devices to levels we’ve never seen.

Memory speeds come in handy when trying to download large files, store large files, or access documents, music, and photos. And with data files growing larger and larger every day, whether for work or leisure, the need for fast uploads, downloads, and access is ever before us.

Tech site PhoneArena tested the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge’s UFS 2.0 technology by way of memory speed source AndroBench to see if there was more to Samsung’s hype than just smoke. Sure enough, the scores don’t lie: Samsung’s UFS 2.0 memory speeds in the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge are so far ahead of its Android rivals that the Korean manufacturer has no equal in the Android space. No. Android. Equal.

Just how far ahead are Samsung’s latest devices? You’ll have to see it to believe it.
