Unless you've been living under a rock you'll likely know March will see the announcement of the new Samsung Galaxy S6 phone.

Everything is pointing toward a March 1 announcement at MWC 2015 and now a UK retailer has opened up pre-registration for the new flagship, just hours after doing the same for the HTC One M9.

The Carphone Warehouse has opened up a page to fill in your details to get all the latest news and developments as they happen, but pre-orders aren't available as of yet.

It does mean that once pre-orders finally open you'll be the first to know, so you can jump in and grab one right away.

Sadly this is only for UK customers but it is good to see a retailer outing the new phone as leaks and rumours really begin to heat up.
