Samsung prices unlocked Galaxy S7 and S7 edge versions in the US, starts direct sales

If you have been interested in buying Samsung's latest darlings the unlocked Galaxy S7 and S7 edge directly from the manufacturer in the US, and without any carrier shenanigans, you are in for a treat today.

The handsets became directly available from Samsung, not from third party resellers, and are now up for ordering on the company's US website. The S7 and S7 edge will also be available unlocked via a cacophony of popular retailers now, like Best Buy, Target and Amazon.

The price? Well, at $670 for the S7, and $770 for the S7 edge, the phones are a bit more expensive than the units sold from third party resellers. Still, the peace of mind that you are buying from the source with all the applicable warranty and testing shouldn't be underestimated, too.

I do not see any unlocked galaxy s7 nor galaxy s7 edge on Samsung's website .... What is the release date? Anyway, it is little too late for me, i poked Samsung to release carrier unbranded S7 or S7 Edge for a while and finally gave in for Lumia 950 XL.

I meant carrier unbranded S7 or S7 edge for USA market with valid warranty.

You'd think they would be a little nicer with the pricing since they are cutting way down on the middle men. Hard to swallow that pricing.

I couldn't get to the link, it keeps telling me access denied. But, if there are any CDMA versions, Verizon will just refuse to activate them in their system.
