Pelli Kuuturu Laechi Poayindi

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.

Kasi Korika Telugu Boothu Kathalu

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.
