Galaxy S7 edge

The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge went up for pre-order across all the major carriers in the United States and other parts of the world just a couple of days after their official unveiling i.e. on February 23. Most pre-orders had an expected delivery date of March 11, which is the same day on which the handset hits the retail stores in most parts of the world as well.

However, T-Mobile seems to have already received its stock of the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge from Samsung as it has started sending out shipment notifications to customers who pre-ordered the handset through it.

Now, it is entirely possible that despite the shipment notification being sent out from the Magenta colored carrier, the handset will not show up on your doorstep before March 11. However, U.S. carriers have had a history of shipping phones to their customers as soon as they receive it, which can sometimes be well ahead of their official release date.

T-Mobile customers receiving the Galaxy S7 or S7 edge way before the promised ship date are obviously be going to happy hearing this news, though I am not sure if Samsung will be happy about this move from T-Mobile or not. Whatever the case might be, it is still impressive to see Samsung — intentionally or unintentionally — making its phone available to customers in less than 10 days of its official unveiling.
