Samsung diversifying Galaxy S6 line with Blue Topaz S6 and Green Emerald S6 Edge

Blue Topaz and  Green Emerald, these are not variants of the popular Pokemon game but new colours coming to Samsung's flagship Galaxy S6 devices. The Blue Topaz is exclusive to the S6 and the Green Emerald is for the S6 Edge.

There's a rationale behind these colour choices which says that, "People who opt for Samsung’s Blue Topaz Galaxy S6 are likely to be more self-confident, fastidious, discriminating, sensitive, exacting, and intuitive,” said a British psychologist. The Green Emerald Galaxy S6 Edge users “tend to be balanced, loyal, hard-working, honest, benevolent and concerned for others.” Alrighty then. Availability and timing will depend on carriers so we'll stay tuned for Canadian-specific release news.

Samsung is dispelling this claim by creating a video explaining how resilient their new handsets are. Check it out above.
