Five reasons to choose the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge instead of the HTC One M9

1. Camera: The awesome camera on the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is easily the killer feature that propelled it over the M9. I don't carry a dedicated camera so need a good smartphone camera with me all the time.
2. Design: I agree with HTC's strategy to stick with its iconic design and it did a great job improving on the M9 to make it easier to hold than the M8. However, the S6 Edge is new and unique. The navy blue (sapphire) color is gorgeous and I am a fan of the design.
3. Physical home button and fingerprint scanner: The improvement over the previous fingerprint scanner is remarkable. I find physical home buttons extremley useful for turning on a device and Samsung made it even better with the camera quick launch. I rarely used lock screen security, but I do all the time on the iPhone 6 Plus and S6 Edge thanks to fingerprint technology.
4. Wireless charging: This is more of a convenience thing and with the glass back of the Galaxy S6 Edge you do have to be careful which wireless charger you use.
5. Quick charger in the box: I know it's just a $35 accessory and the Galaxy S6 Edge is $200 more than the HTC One M9, but Samsung included it in the box and it's little things like this that help the consumer.
