Well thanks GSMA I bought the One M9 and i am the happiest one in the world with his phone! Now, the cons? Nothing. Screen looks quite well. 1080p is quite enough for me. As for the design being repetitive, I never owned an HTC phone, and the face of the S6 is repetitive also. Maybe the camera should have been better, but with some golden tips from XDA, i mastered the camera quite well. And with the new 1.40.401.8 update, the camera has seen quite a noticeable improvement in daylight, though low light should have been better. Deniosing is still aggressive and is visible in shadows. RAW can be used, but in low-lit places i use HDR and the pics look quite decent. Now i would like GSMA to add up to the cons of S6 the following 1- terrible RAM management; my friend has gone insane with this. 2- terribly protruding camera with fragile camera lens 3- horrible care towards the flagships in terms of software. The android 5.1.1 update has not fixed the overzealous RAM management yet, though this is a high-priority bug that should be fixed in such an update, if not in a seperate OTA package earlier! 4- not durable. This glass sandwich can easily break if dropped from the floor IMO. I agree it had made a lot of achievements. It has scored spectacularly low times for app loading. It has one of the best cameras in the market, if not the best. It has a very perfect screen, though it may tend to be 'over-saturated'. QHD makes me speechless. But it is not that perfect dream phone. Battery life sucks. Thermal management still has room of improvement. I admire the reset to the design, but still they have to check the box of the memory card expansion. There are memory cards with very fast speeds. Ironically, Samsung is the one who manufactures these :D Anyways, that was just my true opinion towards these phones. They are great warriors, but i prefer the M9 over the S6. Thanks GSMA Thanks everybody for reading my point of view I would like to hear some objections I am not an HTC fanboy, i just got my hands on my first HTC phone this year And btw, this staggering audio quality rocks. Speakers, bluetooth headset, headphones,...anything you name it, the M9 will make you enjoy what you listen, literally! Sorry for long post :)

yeah we know that you don't like iPhone, but to ignore them altogether because some silly reason like "the newer one is 2 months away" while Note 4 which also in a similar situation (note 5 in august, sooner than the next iPhone, mind you) doesn't get the same treatment
so professional

G2, Z2 and Note 3 are best buy phones. I have owned a lot of them and can say that G2 is better then S5 and G3, Z2 is the same as Z3 and Z3+, also Note 3 is a monster, no real need for Note 4. Regarding iPhone, I quite like 6 plus. It is a real monster and status symbol.

This clearly shows Sony phones are a great bargain and have great specs even for 2015. Good work GSM sensible options here.

The note 4 shouldn't be there when the note 5 is weeks away
