Samsung Galaxy S6 vs HTC One M9: Turning the Tables | Pocketnow

[Cbeezy]

Sounds like the S6 just beat the M9's ass lol

[Grenyas]

Too bad HTC didn't pack in a better camera

[ColeODriscoll]

Actually Samsung and Apple have a bigger rivalry/competition towards each other than Samsung and hTC

[MobiusCoin]

With a camcorder THAT good, I might go Samsung again. As a photographer I usually don't give a shit about smartphone cameras but since camera manufacturers have really been dragging their feet with 4k and seeing some mind blowing 4k video shot from the S6, I'm really tempted.

[kashattack]

Wow - video recording on the S6 is amazing

[Commandosoap]

Here the comparison:

Screen : same you can't tell difference unless u really try
Camara:s6
Software: HTC (Samsung still lags from time to time)
Audio and media playback:HTC
Battery: HTC last longer, s6 charge much faster so I'll say tie
Extra stuff (finger print, etc..):s6

Price: same
Hardware :depends on what you like


So they both won 2 and tied the rest its all up to you the consumer and what fits ur need

[PhantomMelon]

m9's battery lasts 20% longer? really? i mean it's vastly different result from what i saw on phonearena, gsmarena, anandtec, etc. m9's battery life is even worse than m8 on battery benchmarks.

[hssh]

Excellent review and S6 edge is my next phone!

[MJTechChannel]

No wonder they came out with the M9+ so fast!

[ShellymanStudios]

I'm just waiting for the Sony Xperia Z4 to be announced but these are nice phones by the way...

[joernsns]

HTC get the camera right, remove the HTC bar and place the volume keys on the left and the power button on the right then you have a perfect phone *-*

[freechurros]

HTC you didn't put your all in this year sucks because I'm pretty sure many people were looking forward to this year's flagship. Instead they're taking their business elsewhere. (Samsung)

[thefinder]

I think the Note 5 is going to be pretty epic, I'd switch to the S6 if I could deal with the smaller screen (I have the Note 4 now) but I watch a lot of Netflix so I don't think I could stand it. BTW what game was he playing there with the fighter plane?

[rfx]

So happy for Samsung. This is the major come back they needed. I hope this phone sells like crazy. I don't know if it will reach as many as the iPhone 6 sales (maybe it will, it already has 54m preorders) but they sure nailed it with this device! I'm still using the Note lineup though and always will. Note 4 is too good to let go of ♡

[Grephistone]

I just ordered my M9.... honestly I don't care about the "bad things" about the new One, I still want 1080p, battery is a relative thing to the phone you already have, and I really like the One series, I don't use the camera for anything but Snapchat and stuff, so all the bad stuff they say about it really doesn't matter to me.... and come on.... glass back? reminds me of the cracked back iphone 4 I have laying in a drawer...

[hiro]

this is the beginning of htc downfall, they underestimate their competitors

[makijezakon]

People are getting more and more spoiled every year. whaaa, only 22 megapixels? no octa core processor? only 1000 gigs of memory? that phone sucks. just a couple of years ago you all were rocking your PS 2 on shitscreen TV and having 10x more fun then today.

[xMelx]

So Samsung s6 just wins on rear Camera against the M9?
Galaxy s6 dislike without storage, without water resistant and even my M8 has bigger battery than the s6...

[elvinlewis]

Excellent, very clean and professional review! I have grown to hate my current 3 year old Droid Razr, which constantly jams and freezes, no matter how many times I clean it, delete large files, or shut down background apps. Expandable memory speaks to me for that reason especially. I refuse to give up my unlimited data, so I have to pay full price. Samsung's high resolution is also compelling, even though I like the look of the htc more. I'm not an apple person, so I do want the best android device I can get. Hmmm...

[TVCHLORD]

only a fool would pick the m9 over the s6...
