Galaxy S6 edge Iron Man Edition available for insane prices on eBay

It doesn’t matter how old you are – the Iron Man edition of the Galaxy S6 edge is a smartphone that you simply cannot not want. But when you have to pay a couple thousand bucks to actually get your hands on one, that’s when it is a good time to draw a line between wanting something and being sensible about it. The Galaxy S6 edge Iron Man Edition was launched as a limited edition device of which only 1,000 units were produced, and it seems like some of the lucky buyers are now trying to sell off the device on eBay at some insane prices.

Searching for the device on the e-commerce site will get you some pretty interesting results, with prices starting from around $2,900 and going up to a whopping $9,000. Well, the $9,000 listing does get you the Avengers Special Briefcase along with the phone, but that doesn’t do much to negate the fact that these prices are absolutely nuts and shouldn’t even be allowed to be put up. But hey, maybe you are like Tony Stark and can afford to splurge all that cash, in which case you can feel free to find and hit the source link below.

Counterpoint Research expects Samsung Galaxy S6 sales to reach 50 million by year-end

Yesterday, an Oppenhiemer analyst claimed that the sales of Samsung’s flagship devices are imploding, making us think about the legitimacy of the report. Now, Counterpoint Research, a leading technology market research firm has stated otherwise. According to the firm, Samsung managed to sell around 6 million units of the Galaxy S6 and the S6 edge by the end of April, making them the most popular smartphones this year behind Apple’s iPhones.

The research firm also stated today that it expects the sales of these devices to reach 50 million by the end of 2015. If that happens it would be a new sales record for the Galaxy S series of smartphones. There have been varying expectations by research firms and analysts worldwide about the sales outlook for the Galaxy S6 and the S6 edge, but we’ll only know for sure when the South Korean smartphone giant makes a public announcement about the sales numbers during its earnings call.

Samsung introduces five new designer cases for Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge

Samsung has introduced five new designer cases and covers for the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge that add even more style to the already gorgeous devices. Samsung says on its official blog that it has worked with handpicked designers – Swarovski, Montblanc, Romero Britto, Rebecca Minkoff and Burton – who share the company’s vision of combining technology with fashion.

The Swarovski case resembles high-quality jewellery that reflects different shades of glass in which the Galaxy S6 is being offered. Swarovski also made accessories for the Galaxy S5 and the Gear Fit in the past.

Montblanc has designed a series of high-quality leather cases and flip covers for the device that are manufactured in Italy. If you remember, Montblanc previously worked with the South Korean smartphone giant to bring high-quality cases and stylii for the Galaxy Note 4.

International pop artist Romero Britto has collaborated with Samsung for the first time to design a clear cover with vibrant colors. Rebecca Minkoff, a luxury handbag, accessories, footwear, and apparel designer, has developed protective covers and leather pouches with edgy flower prints.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 now available for just $199.99 from Best Buy

Samsung’s premium compact tablet that was released last year, the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, is now available for just $199.99 from Best Buy. That’s $100 off its regular price tag, making it a discount of over 30 percent for the 16GB Wi-Fi only variant.

Just to refresh your memory, let’s revisit the specifications of the device. It runs Android 4.4 KitKat, and features an 8.4-inch Super Clear LCD display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor with Adreno 330 GPU, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, microSD card slot, and a 4,800 mAh non-removable battery. It features an 8-megapixel primary camera and a 2-megapixel secondary camera, and both of them can record videos in 1080p resolution.

Refurbished units of the tablet were on a sale through Amazon last month for $210, but we’ve never seen a brand new device being offered for a price this low. We don’t know if this is a permanent price drop for the device or a limited-time offer, but if you need a compact tablet with a high-resolution display on the cheap, you can definitely consider the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. What do you think? Is this a good price for the tablet?

Samsung Galaxy Core Prime 4G quietly launched in India

Samsung has quietly launched the Galaxy Core Prime 4G in India today. Priced at INR 9,999 (~ $157), the device was to be launched back in March, but the plans got delayed.

An Indian mobile device retailer, Mahesh Telecom, has revealed that Samsung has launched the device through brick-and-mortar stores. Samsung has tied up with a prominent carrier in India, Airtel, and is offering 3GB of LTE data for free with the device. The device also comes bundled with free premium three-month subscriptions to Hungama and VuClip media streaming services.

The Galaxy Core Prime 4G is an LTE variant of the Galaxy Core Prime, and features a 4.5-inch PLS LCD display with WVGA resolution, a 1.2GHz quad-core Spreadtrum SC8830 processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal storage, microSD card slot, 4G LTE connectivity, and a 2,000 mAh battery. It is equipped with a 5-megapixel primary camera with autofocus and LED flash, and a 2-megapixel secondary camera. It runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat out of the box, but since the Galaxy Core Prime has started receiving Android Lollipop update, we hope that it would be released for this device as well.

The company has previously mentioned that all Samsung mobiles that will be launched in India will feature 4G LTE connectivity due to increase in the demand. All the major carriers in the country have started upgrading their networks to support LTE connectivity.
