Apple iPhone 6s vs HTC One M9 vs Samsung Galaxy S6 edge specs comparison
The iPhone 6s is officially announced, and it just might be the best iPhone ever! It is destined to be one of 2016's benchmark devices, in that most Android manufacturers (especially those in China) will be trying their best to match or improve on its design and performance characteristics. HTC and Samsung, in particular, are ones who've had a strong headstart with this, as the One M9 and the Galaxy S6 edge are handsome and speedy Android champs that are also strong iPhone competitors!
So how about we take a look at how their size, build, and hardware compare with each other? Of course, getting to see whether Apple's latest chipset is faster than Qualcomm and Samsung's current achievements in mobile processing will be even more interesting, especially considering the A9 is supposed to be faster than the iPad Air 2's A8X chip, which is a monster. We'll see about that shortly!
