The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge has a general score of 85.7, which is better than HTC One M9's overall score of 77.7. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is a somewhat lighter and noticeably thinner cellphone than the HTC One M9, even though both were released only 1 months apart. Both of these phones include the same Android 5.0 OS (operating system).

The Galaxy S6 Edge counts with a bit more powerful processing unit than HTC One M9, and although they both have a 3 GB RAM, a 64 bits CPU and the same number of cores, the Galaxy S6 Edge also has a faster GPU running at 650 megahertz. The Galaxy S6 Edge features a bit better looking screen than HTC One M9, because it has a little bit larger screen, a better resolution of 2560 x 1440 and a better amount of pixels per inch of display.

HTC One M9 features a much better camera than Galaxy S6 Edge, because although it has a tinier aperture, and they both have the same video frame rates and the same video resolution, the HTC One M9 also counts with a better 20 mega pixels resolution back camera and a bigger camera sensor shooting higher quality photos.

The Galaxy S6 Edge features a much greater storage for apps and games than HTC One M9, because although it has no slot for an SD memory card, it also counts with 96 GB more internal storage. The HTC One M9 counts with just a little bit longer battery performance than Galaxy S6 Edge, because it has a 2840mAh battery size.

Although Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is a better device, it is way more expensive than HTC One M9, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the HTC One M9. If you prefer to save some dollars, you can get HTC One M9, letting go a couple features, but you'll get the most out of your budget.
