iron man edition galaxy s6 edge auctions for more than 91000 in china

The demand for the Iron Man limited edition Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is getting out of hand. First there was the eBay auction about two weeks ago that had a winning bid of $35,600. Now there’s word of an auction in China that saw one of the Iron Man editions of the Galaxy S6 Edge sell for more than $91,000.

The online auction for the Iron Man limited edition Galaxy S6 Edge in question happened on JD.com, China’s second largest e-commerce retailer, according to Android Authority. A total of 92,429 bids thrust the price of the smartphone up to 568,788 yuan, which converts to about $91,638 today. The actual price of the special edition phone is $1,079.

“The popularity of the phone in China was actually predicted, in light of the red on the front and back of the device,” according to BusinessKorea. The publication adds that in China, the number 6 symbolizes good luck. The Iron Man limited edition Galaxy S6 Edge that was sold on JD.com had the serial number 66, which signals a double portion of good luck for whoever owns the phone.

The Iron Man edition Galaxy S6 Edge has the same spec sheet as the regular S6 Edge, though it has a unique color scheme and theme. The packaging offers a nifty unboxing experience, and the wireless charger looks like the superhero’s Arc Reactor.

Samsung released the special edition phone only in South Korea, China, and Hong Kong. Marques Brownlee, Jonathan Morrison, and Unbox Therapy just gave away three Iron Man edition Galaxy S6 Edge smartphones.

Samsung says Galaxy Tab S6 5G launch is ‘coming soon’

Samsung S6 Tab 5G feature image

It won’t be here in time for Christmas — and it’s unclear precisely when it might debut — but yes, Virginia, there will be a Galaxy Tab S6 with 5G at some point in the foreseeable future. That confirmation, spotted by SamMobile, comes directly from a Samsung promotion now running in its home base in South Korea that lists the Galaxy Tab S6 variant (model SM-T866N) as “coming soon."

This does not exactly come as a shock. Samsung has been aggressive in adapting 5G connectivity in its smartphones, and there’s been buzz surrounding the possibility of a 5G variant of the Galaxy Tab S6 since last fall, when the upcoming model not only received Bluetooth certification but was also approved by Korea’s National Radio Agency.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 vs. Tab S5e vs. Tab S4: A look at all the differences

samsung galaxy tab s6 news 1

If you're shopping for a new Android tablet, Samsung's latest Galaxy Tab S6 demands consideration, along with other options in the range. You may assume that the newer Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e is better than the year-old Galaxy Tab S4, but it's actually a slimmed-down, more affordable offering. The Tab 5Se is to the Tab S6 what the Samsung Galaxy S10e is to the Galaxy S10.

All three of Samsung's tablets have a lot in common, but dig deeper and there are some differences worth noting. The Galaxy Tab S4 has been sitting happily in our best tablets list since its release as the top Android option, so the Tab S6 has its work cut out to unseat it. Let's take a closer look at how these tablets measure up.

I record interviews for work. These are my favorite free recorder apps

Before you head to the app store on your phone to buy a voice-recording app, take a moment to consider the apps that may already be installed on your phone. Why? In my experience, they're likely all you really need. I’ve recorded interviews and voice-overs for work for years, and I’ve found the two best examples come preinstalled on your phone already, so they’re entirely free to use.
