Anonymous, 22 Apr 2015Tell me one thing which the M9 has over the S6.
The Asus Z... moreI didn't mention the Asus Zenfone 2 as a rival, I mentioned it for the price. It costs half the price as an S6 yet it is more capable than the S6.
Same could of been said last year about the OnePlus One, it was better than the Samsung S4, S5 and the Note 3. It can still compete with the Note 4, even for UI software alone.

Anonymous, 22 Apr 2015Tell me one thing which the M9 has over the S6.
The Asus Z... moreYeah... you're trying a bit too hard there I'm afraid, and here's why. Yes, the S6 may sell better than last years S5 and gain higher profits, but that would only be because of their Apple-style prices (especially the S6 Edge).
Here's the thing that's NOT being discussed enough and needs to be factored in S6/Edge being constantly swapped or returned. You may be blinded by the pre-sale hype, but then what happens after the phone is bought? Like others have highlighted here, Touchwiz and its bloatware are buggy as hell, resulting in poor battery life.
If you're checking sites like XDA, then you won't know how to fix. There are other software and even hardware issues such as fault fingerprint scanner, camera issues for some, scratched/chipped glass, network issues, etc. These things are what should matter coz the so many users have had to swap out their S6/Edge at least 3 times just to get a fully working model.
These initial issues aren't exclusive to the S6 obviously, but if you're talking about sales then you need to mention how satisfied the customers are AFTER buying it. You say conveniences like removable battery, waterproofing and expandable storage don't matter? Tell that to the ones who bought other phones with all of those - FOR MUCH LESS! ;)

The Asus Z... moreM9 has better software HTC Sense is leagues ahead of Touchwiz.
It has an
- SD Slot
- 20MP Camera
- BoomSound speakers with Dolby
- Aluminium Unibody
- Ultrapixel front facing camera
- It has the vast variety of HTC apps
I think that's more than enough reasons to buy it over the wannabe iPhone, S6.

That's definately not true, source? I couldn't find anything about that from google. Every news are saying opposite.

Did anyone bother reading the article? This has to do with recent carrier subsidy cap by the Korean government.
The iPhone 6 and 6+ sales plummeted by 50% in South Korea since the S6's announcement.

I actually know this is going to happen as Samsung price tags are going higher & higher.
At least I am never going to give 50000rs for a 32gb phone without micro sd card slot & weak non-removable battery. If i want to keep power banks/pen drives with me then why should i am going to buy 50k rupees phone. I mean people going to laugh on me lol
Samsung should reconsidered there phone prices.

Not gonna guess what's going on with that but when I tested S6 I was amazed how undesirable it is and the cheap look and feel, plus the insane unreal camera bump, wtf? It's the last phone I would buy and I imagine the high price adds to that for lots of buyers, here the 32GB S6 now cost the same as 64GB iPhone 6 and there's no way to justify that.

Not surprising. With no SD card, non replaceable battery, and no IP67 water and dust resistance, Sammy has been trying to fool everyone with its marketing stunts (leaks, infographics, etc). I would not pay half of what it costs for one.

Samsung should have made the Galaxy S6 as a Upgrade from the Galaxy S5,with Waterproofing,Removable Battery & Micro Sd Card Slot,Once your a Galaxy phone user and get so use to the Options Samsung offer you,and to All of Sudden lose these Options,You look for a Alternative phone that offers these Options or Wait to Read people Reviews before you buy the New phone,Galaxy Note 4 offers the Best Choice,or wait to see what Lg G4 will Offer,Samsung have Over Valued there New Phones,thinking they can Copy Apple who also do this to Consumers to Much

Trolls bait article for just 1 fact : S6 are out of stock in many places (or in stock at the wrong ones) for other variants than 32gb+black/white.
