Samsung Galaxy S6 vs HTC One M9 vs Apple iPhone 6: specs comparison
With the new HTC One M9, HTC is hoping to get back on track and further re-establish itself as one of the "godfathers" of the industry. Tough times are ahead, though - Samsung and Apple, two of the larger rivals, already have prominent offerings on the shelves, and stealing market share from those will not be that easy.
Apple, in particular, has been on the run in the past few months, with its iPhone 6 and 6 Plus breaking all records and establishing themselves as the best-selling smartphones in the past few months. Samsung, on the other hand, has just churned out the Galaxy S6, a smartphone powerhouse that aims to rekindle interest in Samsung's Galaxy line.
