LOL
And all the tech sites slyly hide the on-conract prices of S6 and S6 Edge (between $500+ and $600) in Korea right now.
The state have problems with the operators last months
The dirty trick that the iMedia do, is to connect the case in Korea with the global sale of S6-S6 Edge.

        D, 22 Apr 2015M9 has better software HTC Sense is leagues ahead of Touchw... morehtc m9 has bad camera quality
        the battery is also poor.
        metal body is not good in my opinion since its not easy to replace the back once it damages. it is a fact that metal phone has weaker signals compares to plastic phone
        also the amount of radiation is high.

                  I was considering to buy this phone. But because of fool who prefer the apple practice samsung changed to no removable battery, no sd slot, higher price. I never understood why people think that iPhone materials are better. Most of the people i know with iphones have their screen broken, their back broken. The glass that holds it breaks easily. I dropped a galaxy s2 and xperia z1 from chest height on cement, never broke while my friends with iphones have their back screens broke from smaller Heights.

You mean the G4 which looks l... moreTotally agreed with you..... most people dreaming of getting a TRUE Flagship phone like GS6 get stucked buying some other LESS PRODUCTIVE FEATURE phones they call Real flagship phone and later get stucked 2 years later with these phones which would be of no value reason beign old fashioned phone and then LG , Sony or someone else announces phones with features Samsung implemented 2-3 years ago and then again regret. ....... I agree that GS6 has SLIGHTLY less battery life than GS5 and some other phones but think that is it really important for you to have a non removable battery phone because you will not get stucked in a forest where there's no SUPER FAST charger and the most reasonless reason better buy 64gig phone or if not possible back up stuff that is not required........ And Finally Don't Make Judgements by looking to people whose laziness of not backing up data criticizing phones which are awesome and saying those same words that you too can't live without a micro sd card........And the most important part about me is that I am not a Sammy Boy I just respect phones or some other company phones hater. .....I just decide on my own not looking other people's choices. .... I hope that you understand what I am able to tell you

                          We all know that Samsung always failed to win such awards on materials, finishing and looks. I wish here are some executive level professionals who can endorse that how it feels when we put an average-look plasticy Samsung on meeting table in front of elite-look metal or glassy HTCs or Sonys.

                            Sales decline converges to a lower number and continues to stay there. The S6 caused the iPhone 6/6+ numbers to drop 50% and its sales will now stay close to that region until the next iPhone (Which will sell lower than the iPhone 6).

                              Anonymous, 22 Apr 2015Right. Its sales are going to drop 50% in just 1 month...Yes?

                              Your source clearly says iPhone sales havent decreased much because S6. Sales are decreasing because the device is very old.

                              "iPhone 6·6 Plus’ sales of the second week was over 35000, about 1700 lower than last week’s sales, which was 36726. This is because Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge sales have greatly increased. Nevertheless, some say they are putting up a rather good defense, since the decline is around 5%."
