The new color will be plastered onto AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and unlocked units of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. There's also a hint of a big deal onwards.

Committed to the still-steady high-end Samsung smartphone ship, unwilling to wait until March or even April for the first major Galaxy Note 7 redemption effort, but not sold on the “quality and luxury” radiated by the six existing GS7 Edge color options either?
The world’s enduring champion of handheld sales is giving its chromatic work of keeping the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus at bay one last try today with the official introduction of the “modern and striking” Black Pearl Galaxy S7 Edge.
This joins White Pearl, Black Onyx, Gold Platinum, Silver Titanium, Pink Gold and Blue Coral flavors in unnamed “select markets” tomorrow, December 9, most likely starting with Korea. Darker, glossier and arguably more eye-catching than the first black S7 Edge edition, it’s bound to draw comparisons with Jet Black new iPhones, although obviously, not even Apple can patent a coat of paint.
No words on pricing yet, and we don’t know if the US is to be targeted by the “stylish all-black” 5.5-incher anytime soon. It will however definitely come in an exclusive 128GB internal storage configuration.
Meanwhile, the other snazzy Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge limited edition is proving to be less and less limited by the day. After a nationwide US rollout, the Blue Coral phablet is headed for India next week, on December 15, at a “standard” price of Rs. 51,000 ($750).

Does Samsung really think shiny colors will be enough to divert attention away from all the Galaxy Note 7 drama, and keep the more than respectable but aging GS7 and S7 Edge in the spotlight all the way up until next spring’s S8 launch?
Well, the Blue Coral Galaxy S7 Edge debut and relatively swift expansion did appear to attract an unusual amount of consideration… for a simple coat of paint. And now there’s a so-called “glossy black” S7 in the pipeline, looking to capitalize on the huge early popularity of the “jet black” iPhone 7.
As suspected, this isn’t radically different from existing “black onyx”, aka matte black, versions of Samsung’s latest non-explosive flagship, at least based on real-life photos of the jumbo-sized Edge model in the “new” shade.
Oddly enough, the not-so-great pics have been publicly shared on Weibo by one of the chaebol’s local employees, suggesting a commercial rollout might take place any day now. It’s probably too late for Samsung to release this in time for Black Friday stateside, but there’s still a long way to go until Christmas, when the contrast between the traditional, omnipresent white and the phone’s super-sleek black should prove rather fashionable.
All in all though, does the glossy black Galaxy S7 Edge strike you as eye-catching… enough?

There’s cheap, plasticky gloss and then there’s what’s supposedly “premium” gloss — take Apple’s Jet Black finish on the iPhone 7. Then there’s demiglace, something you should try with your next turkey.
Speaking of turkeys, Samsung continues to keep its rotors going as it leaves behind a turkey of a recalled phone in the Galaxy Note 7. What took its place? A new color of Galaxy S7 edge: Blue Coral. But shouldn’t the Galaxy S7 get some painted love, too?
According to sources to The Investor in Korea, we may see a revitalized black color for the regular ‘ol phone come “early next month.” There’s already a matte Black Onyx finish up for the S7 and S7 edge (you see it above with the Galaxy Note 7), so if Samsung wants to pull off an Apple move, now’s the time — iPhone 7 demand is suspected to be declining.

Number one and number two in the US cellular carrier field have it. If you’re part of the Un-carrier, you’d probably call Verizon and AT&T “Dumber one” and “Dumber two.”
But that’s your prerogative.
What are we talking about today? Why, it’s the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge in its lovely Blue Coral trim that used to exist on the Galaxy Note 7 and would not have existed otherwise at this moment without this new color option for the S7 edge! Perfect.
T-Mobile has adding Blue Coral to its silver and gold color options for the S7 edge, still selling for $789.99 or $69.99 upfront and then $30 per month for two years. While paying full price for a nine-month-old phone doesn’t feel right, if you decide on taking advantage of the carrier’s “Magenta Friday” offerings, you can get a Gear VR bundled in.

Just because the snazzy Blue Coral Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge first leaked out with Verizon branding all over, it doesn’t mean Big Red’s subscribers are looking at any sort of exclusivity period.
Technically, AT&T got a bit of a head start on its arch-rival, though even pre-orders filed last Tuesday at Ma Bell will only begin to be fulfilled tomorrow, November 18. Meanwhile, VZW has the GS7 Edge up for grabs in a fourth color today, alongside black, gold and silver, with deliveries underway today, and physical store inventory also available already.
The best thing about Verizon’s sea-inspired swanky blue 5.5-incher is that, like all other S7 and S7 Edge variants, it qualifies for a pre-Black Friday buy-one-get-one-50-percent-off deal. And it’s eligible for waived $20 activation fees, setting you back $33 a month for a total of two years.
Overall, you’ll be paying $792 (or $1,188 for two units in whatever coats of paint tickle your fancy most), and at least in theory, you’ll get 90 percent of Note 7’s charm and super-premium specs with minimal explosion risks. Your move, T-Mobile.

Samsung continues to show one true color in the wake of its Galaxy Note 7 wind-down: Coral Blue. It’s been lugging out new Galaxy S7 units in the prime color of its former fall flagship across the world.
T-Mobile is supposedly the next stop as an inventory document leak provided to TmoNews shows that the Gear S3 frontier, the SyncUP car diagnostics product and Alcatel POP 7 LTE are getting loaded into the distribution system. But so is a blue Galaxy S7 edge — likely the Coral Blue Galaxy S7 edge.
It’s not clear when stock will get filled in and activated for sales, but we definitely are closing in on the day.

You probably didn’t expect this to work, but at least in part, the very slow release of a new Galaxy S7 Edge color has distracted both the tech media and everyday mobile hardware consumers from recent Note 7 scandals and lingering uncertainty around the root cause of fires and explosions.
No one’s going to forget the quality control fiasco anytime soon, although a number of Samsung devotees are likely ready to put it in the back of their minds for a chance to score the snazzy Blue Coral GS7 Edge.
First unveiled in Singapore, then rapidly expanded to Taiwan, and finally confirmed for “selected markets around the globe” last week, the maritime-inspired dual-curved 5.5-incher just discreetly went up for US pre-orders through AT&T.
Ma Bell is definitely not looking at any sort of regional chromatic exclusivity, but it could predate Verizon’s own commercial rollout by shipping the fashionable Nougat-ready phablet between November 18 and 22.
You could always try the carrier’s extensive retail store network if patience isn’t your top quality, though we wouldn’t get our hopes up. Just like gold platinum, silver titanium and black onyx flavors, the blue coral Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge will set you back $794 outright from America’s number two wireless service provider, or $26.50 and up a month on Next plans.

While the Galaxy Note 7’s productive S Pen and ingenious iris scanner aren’t exactly features you can just enable on the S7 or S7 Edge via a software update, that Always on Display trick Motorola flat-out accused Samsung of stealing not long ago has indeed been ported from the ill-fated phablet to its little brothers.
And now, finally, the aggrieved world’s number one smartphone manufacturer can confirm the snazzy Blue Coral paint job of the Note 7 is coming to the S7 Edge “around the globe.” Starting today, November 1, in “selected markets” only, but fret not, as they apparently include the US in addition to Taiwan and Singapore.
We’re guessing the “calming and sophisticated” new Galaxy S7 Edge edition will go on sale across the old continent sometime soon as well, since on American shores, all four major carriers should release it over the next few weeks.
No under-the-hood changes, no screen size or resolution upgrades, this is the same old dual-curved 5.5-incher we’ve known and loved since spring, following “this year’s color trends, which are less vivid and more tranquil”, with a nature-inspired hue shimmering as if it is “illuminated from the inside of the phone’s glass surface.”

The last time a color made as many headlines as Samsung’s newest Galaxy S7 Edge shade was probably back when you couldn’t decide whether you were looking at a black and blue or white and gold dress.Well, this seductive dual-curved 5.5-inch phone, aggressively advertised once again, though as a safe-to-use Note 7 surrogate for a change, is ...

We can’t stress this enough: the untimely death of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 shouldn’t be regarded as such a tragic occurrence when the extremely similar GS7 Edge is still around and safe to use. Unfortunate, sure,
