Samsung Galaxy S6 vs. HTC One M9

Re: S6 or M9

As an AT&T user, I'm most worried to see if they find a way to remove the Qi charging and just leave PMA. They switched it in the G3 last year. Other than that, I'm really liking the idea of either a black S6 or Edge. 64gb, at least.

Re: S6 or M9

Why? The snapdragon is the worse performing chip.

No the exynos is imo ....I'll never buy exynos as it is today

LG isn't Samsung . Samsung what sells the most phones out of all the android devs ? Samsung has pull to decide what they want so I'll assume it's safe imo

Re: S6 or M9

If the s6 had the snapdragon cpu I'll say s6 for sure but with that exynos I'll say m9 for now and I always preferred Samsung devices and my current is the note 4 . Maybe they improved the exynos to be good perhaps

I don't know what you're smoking but the Exynos Chip is speedy chip. 4 Big and 4 Small scores, it is at the level of 810 without the battery drain.

I have used it and hated it ....as I said before apps were laggy or weren't compatible with the device .

Re: S6 or M9

What I am comparing is the use of front facing speakers versus a bottom facing speaker. To me, front firing makes more sense no matter your use case. If we want to dive into what sounds best overall, then I think we should just obviously ditch the smart phone period and we can take this conversation way off topic and discuss speaker systems, studio quality headphones, and expensive receivers.

I really don't care front or back ...they both sound good to me for its uses. I have speakers at home if I really cared about the sound. The DAC in the exynos cpu is miles ahead of the snapdragon one which is horrible. I always use my iPad to listen to music with headphone or speakers since they sound better then my note 4

Re: M9 VS S6

After the release of the G4 I'll check it out as well as the S6. I've already checked out the M8 which didn't interest me in the least, which also means I checked out the M9.

Re: M9 VS S6

Down to s6 or g4. The m9 is a not even in the running anymore.

I hope you're right. That's what I'm thinking, too, but you never know.

You never know but I rather hope then anything else . As much as I hate the exynos cpu I'll wait and see how it performs before deciding on not buying the note 5 which I assume will have exynos now as well. Might consider this phone as well


The improved build quality and lighter version of touchwiz even as a person who likes samsung devices this phone is really appealing to switch to from the note 4

Re: M9 VS S6

Kind of a loaded question to put this in the M9 thread For me no contest, S6, even if it has a higher price, absolutely kills the M9. HTC will regret keeping the same design as the M8. I can see a TON of people walking into the cell store and loving the sexy design of the S6 edge and S6.

Per The Verge mini review the camera is pretty disappointing. Don't know why they didn't figure out a way to put OIS in there.

Funnily enough, despite Samsung really swinging for the fences, if HTC had unveiled that evleaks picture, I'd probably not have even bothered watching the Samsung conference let alone likely buy the S6.

Oh no, I'd not leave my Note 4 or Note Edge for an S6/Edge. The new designs are nice but not quite that nice.

Re: S6 or M9

Is this going to have quick charge 2 or 3.0 so I can charge my phone in 30 minutes

Re: M9 VS S6

M9 or S6 ..... for me clearly M9.. yes the G6 has been re-designed while the M9 played it safe. to me the G6 is still not as nice looking as the M9.

smaller battery and no Micro SD .... that's a huge step backwards-
the M9 made some small step forwards. big steps if the camera knocks it out......

Agree, however after watching Andrew's video review and reading up on the S6 it's clear Sammy actually made changes, thinner, smaller, same size screen, functional fingerprint reader, wireless charging, nicer materials, no more back firing speaker (a phone killer for me)...it's also clear HTC didn't do squat.

After griping about my Sammy, I'm now going to seriously consider the S6 but not until after the G4 comes out.

Re: M9 VS S6

Background: (last two phones were S3 ['12'13] and M8 [14'15']
My thoughts on the two phones...
Both:
-look good in different ways
-seem speedy and efficient
- have improved Cameras

The m8:
-got thicker (!!!every single One phone is thicker than the last!!!)
-Looks nice with two tone accents
-mostly just a fixed m8 (not that those fixes are unappreciated)
-has that awesome looking theme engine
-still has expandable storage
-large battery

The S6 and Edge:
-Both look very nice (especially in black)
-Have more raw hardware features (HR Monitor, fixed fingerprint reader)
-Touchwiz while more unified and lollipop-ed still has unchangeable teal colors!!!!! (If they did like htc and just let you change ui colors this would be fixed [like literally touchwiz wouldn't even look that bad if the colors were neutralized])
-So much lighter, and thinner. (Also shorter and skinnier than S5 with same size screen)
-no plastic
-the edge looks so cool

I have the m8 now so I really wanted to upgrade to the m9, but Samsung is making it hard. I will have to test them out in store.

-No micro sd slot :'( (i have had every photo and video from my last 2 phones on the same 64gb sd, and I've always been able to boast about expandable storage when my friends with iphones constantly run out of space (practically every single time they take a video)
-no plastic
