Verizon has started accepting pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, and the HTC One M9 on Wednesday, April 1.

Verizon previously said it will only offer the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge in Black Sapphire and White Pearl, but Big Red has announced that it will also offer both phones in Gold Platinum, although customers who want to get hold of the edgy Emerald Green and Navy Blue Galaxy S6 Edge will have to look elsewhere. Meanwhile, the One M9 will be available in Gunmetal Gray and Two-tone Gold and Silver.

Both the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge as well as the new HTC flagship will be available from Verizon in 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB variants. On a two-year contract, the Galaxy S6 costs $199.99 upfront for the 32GB version, $299.99 for the 64GB, and $399.99 for the 128GB, while the Galaxy S6 Edge costs $100 more, pegging the price of the 32GB version at $299.99, the 64GB at $399.99, and the 128GB at $499.99 on contract.

On Verizon's Edge program, which allows customers to pay for their devices in monthly installments for the next 24 months, the Galaxy S6 32GB costs $24.99 a month, the 64GB $29.16 a month, and the 128GB $33.33 a month. The Galaxy S6 Edge is a tad more expensive, with the 32GB costing $29.16 a month, the 64GB $33.33 a month, and the 128GB $37.49 a month.

Customers who want to pay the full price of the smartphones can get the 32GB Galaxy S6 for $599.99, the 64GB for $699.99, and the 128GB for $799.99. To get the Galaxy S6 Edge, they will need to tack on an additional $100 per device, making the price of the 32GB version $699.99, the 64GB $799.99, and the 128GB $899.99.

If those prices seem too much, the One M9 is a little bit more affordable than the two handsets. The One M9 only comes with 32GB of built-in storage but has a microSD slot for expanding the memory. The One M9 is available from Verizon for $199 on a two-year contract, or $24.99 monthly on the Verizon Edge plan. Those planning on paying the full price will be set back by $599.99.

Verizon says it will ship the smartphones within seven to 10 business days, but the black and white versions for the 128GB models of both the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge will come a little later on April 17. The gold versions will also ship late, with the 32GB model of both phones set for shipping on April 21 and the 64GB and 128GB not available until a month after, on May 1.
