Samsung is preparing the biggest mobile launch ever, with its biggest advertising campaigns in the US, UK, Europe and Asia for the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge launch on April 10.

Considering Samsung already has 40 million pre-orders from carriers and retailers, it's the perfect time to stretch the advantage and try to beat Apple's impressive 74 million iPhone sales in Q1 2015.

In the U.S., Samsung has all four major carriers preparing to sell both devices. T-Mobile has even added one free year of Netflix with every purchase of the Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge.

Samsung Experience stores will be available at Best Buy and Walmart. The two smartphones will be available in-store and online through Amazon, Target, Costco and Sam's Club.

After the failure of the Galaxy S5 in almost every market, even losing out to Apple in South Korea, Samsung had to do something drastic. It listened to consumer feedback, added a metallic frame and well designed dual-glass front and back and removed a lot of the bloatware on the Galaxy S5.

Samsung is reportedly preparing to launch the Galaxy S6 Active shortly after the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. The S6 Active will feature the water resistant design, a microSD card slot and removable back for battery and SIM card storage.

This is what hardcore Android fans want from the smartphone. Several Android based forums were disappointed when Samsung announced the two features would not be coming to the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, but the majority were pleased with the design changes.
