      No thanks too expensive, there are good options in the market with lower prices.

      Being a copycat of Iphone 6 if I was rich I would definitely pick up the original.

                whew, i think my post was just deleted lol...
                this site was the best phone site in my mind, but not anymore...
                its clear that something is going wrong, that m9 was announced in the first place, and those glass-cracky phones were getting their preview first...
                well, still, in every vote i saw about buying new flagship between m9, gs6 and gs6edge, m9 always on top lol

                                  And the Galaxies camera has always say behind the display like that.
                                  I phones is a smaller sensor in a thicker body and the camera is in the top corner above the display being able to use the whole thickness of the device. And it doesn't even have ois.
                                  And somehow it still has camera hump
