what's going on everyone John Ritter from TechnoBuffalo here buying a phone can be really confusing there are just a ridiculous amount of quality flagships out there two of the phones you might be looking at just came out pretty recently we've got the HTC m9 and Samsung's Galaxy s6 you consider this also the s6 edge could also be in here too since they're almost identical phones so I wanted to break these down into few categories to talk about what was good what was not good and declare a winner and hopefully help you decide which phone's going to be right for you now obviously there are a ton of categories we can talk about but I broke them down to the ones I thought that were the most salient the ones that I cared the most about personally so I thought further ado let's go ahead and get started before you just say it's gonna be a blowout one way or another much closer than you might think the other obvious caveats here both are phones both make excellent phone calls I get that question all the time they all sound equally good so let's talk about screen since that's really where you're looking at almost the entire time with these things both are almost exactly the same size 5.1 on the s6 and 5 on the m9 resolutions different story 2560 by 1440 on the s6 and 1920 by 1080 on the m9 the story is much more about those numbers and less about ppi basics just has better viewing angles it's better outdoors it's got better color representation and sourced and of course the better resolution on top of that looking at screens and without colors look how black fit represented and how White's look it's the s6 every single day of the week whether it has to do with the extra resolution or not I don't know before you just jump down my throat screaming about battery life and screen resolution just hold on we're gonna get there and since you're holding these phones we want them to feel nice what about the build quality so years ago a really generation before this one this would have been a complete blow out HTC M devices vs. samsung galaxy s s would have been just a knockout in the first round ihe sees that an incredible job would build but Samsung didn't want to be left out and has really stepped up their game I really like the unibody aluminum on the m9 I like to have to like the weight of the phone makes you feel like you're holding something significant and she said she Co that's a lot of attention to detail like the gold trims around it the texture on the buttons those little small touches that I really enjoyed yes six different story I like big glass and the s6 delivers on the front and the back totally a design language here for Samsung and a way more premium feel it is like world's better than previous generations of Samsung devices but based on build quality alone GC still has the edge they got the Mojo and they're not losing it it's what about battery you think got it last year right Liam powers really mean nothing compared to actual real-world usage how much juice are you gonna get when you use it throughout a day but to play fair here the numbers 2550 on the s6 and 2840 on the m9 of course talk about milliamp hours on both more pixels though I mean more power no matter how much you tweak the software I can go almost two days on the m9 and a 1080p screen with the s6 though it's cutting it really close with just one day leave their replaceable battery so that didn't count here before you yell at me about wireless charging just know we're gonna get to that as well more although if any the phone's gonna last you all day you're travelers what I'm only not gonna have to charge you don't want to charge your phone every night and that does a really nice job and it takes this round so what about those little suckers on the back the cameras phone camera typically becoming our only camera so the same story here at battery numbers don't tell the whole story 60 megapixel on the s6 20 on the m9 the m9 mate CeCe's own admission has had some camera problems software updates have made it definitely better when it comes to image quality color representation low-light shots pretty much everything the s6 just thumps it if I had to pick one of these stick with me as a camera if I was leaving for the night or going out with my son I would pick the s6 100 out of 100 times based on camera so I see what pictures look like on both these would put links to them down boys you can see what they look like outdoors and low-light indoors and the rest so there are obviously a lot of other intangibles about these phones they don't really qualify into a single round the s6 is wireless charging while the m9 has boomsound speakers and expandable storage for me though I don't really use expandable storage that much so you know it really wasn't that big a deal and the down were firing speakers on the s6 are pretty good too I love being able to throw this thing on a chart while I work is really convenient that couple with Samsung pay coming soon and a fingerprint sensor built-in being the s6 definitely takes this one if you values extendable storage though the m9 is the one you want it's run a bit of charging experience gonna be able to pay with your phone not using Google Wallet gift 6 is way to go and for intangible and the s6 just has more taking this round you I was also a category that I considered adding in here but to be honest I just like them both sense and the modern TouchWiz are neck-and-neck which is a huge compliment to TouchWiz because it was absolutely horrible in previous iterations and I've always really liked sense again personal preference so I didn't include it here all right so what's the winner if you can do mad that keeping track by a score of 3 to 2 it is the galaxy s6 and that's also true if I had to pick one of these phones just to use with me I would pick the s6 in fact I bought and s6 edge to use because I really like everything about the phone not saying the m9 is a bad choice for HTC fan you've already picked one up if you want the best quality audio sound from the built-in speakers the m9 is a great choice and a really solid option basic just took my first choice of how to pick one or the other it's gotten to the point now where flagship you have to almost look to find a bad phone any phony pick up it's going to be fine it's gonna work then get you through the next year or two years I'd again to things like horsepower and processing power to talk about octa-core or snap dragons or XD notes because they're both really fast phones and they're both easily gonna last you 12 18 and 24 months so you know bear all that in mind you guys do agree disagree you want to just yell at me in the comments and you guys like to do that leave it all down below
