In particular, we need to compare the new entrant on the scene, the One M9, with its predecessor, the One (M8) and see what's been changed. Naturally, a number of new things have been thrown in the feature and specs bag, while others have been ditched. If you've wondered what's exactly new and what's gone for good, check out the specs sheets of both phones right below.
We've also thrown in a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 for a good measure, a device that is among the better ones available on the market right now.
