Samsung may have pulled 128GB Galaxy S6 / Edge in India
August 01, 2025
Samsunghas reportedly pulled the 128GBGalaxy S6andGalaxy S6 Edgemodels from sale inIndia, leaving customers with 32GB or 64GB as the available storage options. This is similar to the storage options available inJapan– where the 128GB model was not offered – and at launch inKorea, where Samsung didn’t offer the larger options.
According to the company’s Indian website, both the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge are no longer being offered with the biggest storage option but at present, the company’s other online stores – in theUK,CanadaandSingapore– all still list the larger storage option. It’s unknown whether these markets will also see the 128GB models pulled from sale but with the 32GB options less widely available in the UK at least, it seems unlikely that the UK will follow suit (although others may yet do so).
The decision to pull the larger storage options from India is certainly interesting as the key feature that neither handset offers is expandable storage, meaning users are limited to the internal storage. One possible reason that Samsung pulled the storage options from sale may be poor sales as the handsets werehigher priced than all the competition: the 128GB Galaxy S6 cost Rs. 61,900 (approx $970) while the curved variant was even higher priced at Rs. 70,900 ($1110).
Another possible reason for pulling the handsets could be that Samsung needs the larger storage for its upcomingGalaxy Note 5andGalaxy S6 Edge Plushandsets that areexpected to launch on August 13 next month. Samsung uses the much-faster UFS internal storage standard in its handsets and if theKorean manufacturerdoes pull the storage option from sale in more markets, it may be because the company wants the components for the upcoming handsets.

All of this is a bit of speculation as to why Samsung decided to pull the storage options from sale but at present, it looks like it may be limited to just India (although the handsets are highly priced in other countries also).
