Htc has let slip plans for a new high–end phablet. Dubbed the E9+, the handset appeared on the company’s Chinese website yesterday ahead of any official announcement.

HTC's plus-sized challenger packs a capacious 5.5–inch screen with a whacking great 534 pixels per inch (ppi), making it HTC’s most eyeball–stroking device yet.

The E9+ also appears to come loaded with 2GB of RAM, although speculation suggests this may be an error with 3GB deemed more likely.

The camera round the back drops down to 13 megapixels compared to the 20-megapixel effort in the new One M9, while up front there’s an Ultra Pixel snapper for improved selfies.

The E9+ also comes with dual SIM smarts, BoomSound speakers, 16GB of storage and microSD support. There’s no word yet on a release date or price.

HtC might have delivered its top–end One M9 flagship to stores this week. But, not content with outing one of this year’s most promising handsets, it’s just revealed another new phone, the One M8s.

Essentially, it's a tweaked version of last year’s One M8. But with a few notable changes.

Gone is the four-megapixel Ultra Pixel camera, and in comes a new 13-megapixel snapper.

HTC has tickled the processor too, binning the 2.3GHz quad core chipset and swapping it for a 1.7Ghz octa-core effort.

This is unlikely to make a huge difference to performance, but should allow for some bragging on HTC’s part when it comes to the core count.

The front–facing shooter stays at five megapixels, meaning the new One M9 is still top of the selfie pile.

The screen remains a 5–inch 1080p number, while the battery is a touch larger than last year’s M8.

Price-wise, HTC is asking for £379 up front, which is pretty good going for a phone that comes with some very fancy specs.

Expect it to sell competitively on contract when it hits shelves at the end of April.

HTC’s Sense 7 UI looks a lot slicker and has a neat way of serving up apps relevant to where you are and what you’re doing.

You can also customise the look of the phone right down to the navigation bar. Which is something we haven’t seen before.

This one’s a dead heat. Both handsets use different processors, but both have 3GB of RAM, which is plenty.

And really, there’s not much to choose between them in terms of day-to-day use.

While the One M9’s camera is much better than its predecessor’s, we’d say the Galaxy S6 Edge’s just pips it.

It snaps as soon as you press the shutter button, and you’ll need a magnifying glass to spot any noise on snaps.

The S6 Edge’s screen is also a bit sharper.

But you can fit more films, songs and photos on the HTC One M9 using a microSD card (the Galaxy S6 Edge doesn’t have a microSD card slot, though the lowest-capacity model of the handset you can buy is 64GB).

The best option is to go to the shops and try each for yourself.

Parvathi Pooku Lo Na Sulli

The HTC One M9 boasts a much better camera than its predecessor.

Its 20-megapixel sensor captures bags more detail than the 4-megapixel ‘UltraPixel’ shooter on the One (M8).

HTC hasn’t shunned the UltraPixel tech completely though.

Rather, it has incorporated it in the front-facer, which makes much more sense, as it’s better suited to dimly-lit conditions, such as bars, where you’re more likely to take selfies.

Both handsets run Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box, so it comes down to their skins.

Samsung’s TouchWiz is a lot less intrusive than previous incarnations, and for the first time you can delete some of the pre-loaded apps.

Not going to use Microsoft OneDrive? Uninstall it and free up some space.

It still looks a bit cheap and inconsistent though. It’s badly in need of a refresh.

At first glance, the One M9 might look just like the One (M8), but there are some subtle differences.

A ridge connects the front and back of the phone, making it look as if the back is a tray that the handset sits in.

It also has a new dual-tone finish, is easier to grip, and the power button is now on the side instead of the top, making it easier to reach.

The power button is also ridged, so you can discern it from the volume buttons by touch alone.

It’s a close one, but for the leaps and bounds it’s come since its predecessor, we have to give it to the Galaxy S6 Edge.

It has the best camera Samsung has ever put into a phone, it doubles as a universal remote control and there are plenty of software add-ons, as we’ll see in the next section.

But the screen is the real standout feature.

Its 2,560x1,440-pixel resolution is the joint sharpest around, and looks amazing with its wraparound design.

The edges also open up a whole host of new features.

You can set tiles on them to light up different colours for your closest contacts.

When one calls, it will flash that colour, so if the phone is face down on the desk you know who’s calling without picking it up.

The HTC One M9 builds on the excellent design of its predecessor, but doesn’t do anything drastically different.

Not that that’s a bad thing – the One (M8) was one of the most dapper devices of last year.

It feels tall and narrow in the hand, and reassuringly weighty. Which makes sense – it is 25g heavier than the S6 Edge.

For the dazzling display, though, this round goes to the S6 Edge.

In the face of the iPhone and improved build quality from HTC, Samsung couldn’t justify sticking with plastic.

It’s used metal for a number of handsets recently, including the Galaxy A7 and Galaxy Alpha. And it makes perfect sense on the S6 Edge.

The back is coated with glass, which, like the Xperia Z3, will soon be covered in fingerprints.

The back edges are a bit sharp too, but that’s not a deal-breaker.

Overall, it’s a huge improvement on the previous Galaxy S iterations.

Purists might decry the lack of a removable back and swappable battery, but we’ll happily sacrifice that for better build quality.

At the end of March, the HTC One M9 went on sale, boasting upgraded specs and a similar natty design as its predecessor.

Just a week or so later, Samsung launched not one, but two new flagships: the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.

Here we’re pitting the S6 Edge – with its fancy curved screen – against the One M9 to see which should be crowned smartphone king.

Are you sitting comfortably? Then we’ll begin.

The Galaxy S6 Edge is made of metal, which is a departure from the usual plastic build of the Galaxy S range.

The back also doesn’t come off, which means you can’t replace the battery.

We applaud the move to metal. It feels a lot more premium than its predecessors, which felt cheap and plasticky.

When you’re spending north of £500 on a smartphone, you want it to feel like an expensive piece of kit.

The other thing you’ll notice is the screen, which curves on each side to wrap around the device.

It might not sound like a big change, but it looks really futuristic, like it goes on forever. Two thumbs-up from us.

Annapoorna Aunty Kutha Gulla

it seems the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus may come with a standard micro-USB port, rather than a larger USB Type-C port, and a Snapdragon 808 CPU instead of the Exynos 7420.

Should Samsung opt for the six-core Qualcomm processor, as opposed to its own Exynos chips, this could have a significant effect on the speed of the smartphone.

As Forbes' Ewan Spence has noted, the LG G4 - which uses the Snapdragon 808 - has struggled to match the Exynos-powered Galaxy S6 on this measure of performance. But this isn't his only concern about the latest Samsung handset in-development.

Not unreasonably Spence questions whether there would be much demand for a 5.5-inch Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, which would be only slightly larger than Samsung's current smartphones, and only slightly smaller than its Galaxy Note phablet.

With the Galaxy Note 5 expected to launch in the autumn, doubtless to great fanfare, we're inclined to agree that the S6 Edge Plus could represent a new device for a new device's sake.

Samsung is clearly eager to fight on all fronts, which could mean wider product choice for consumers. But as its portfolio grows, the firm can't afford to spread its resources, or its focus, too thinly.

Kodlai Pooku lo Na Madda

Samsung certainly isn't resting on its laurels. It's been just a few months since the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge landed, but it seems an upgrade is on the way already.

Leaks expert @onleaks, who was responsible for a string of on-the-money, pre-release iPhone revelations last year, has unearthed images of dummy units for what he claims is the hitherto unannounced Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.

The prototypes, which are made available to assist accessory-makers, indicate that the forthcoming phone will retain the curved edges of Samsung's existing Galaxy S smartphones but with a substantially larger frame that comes in at 154.45x75.80x6.85mm.

The larger dimensions hint that the S6 Edge Plus could house 5.5-inch screen, an advance of 0.4 inches on the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
