Well, we don\u2019t know for sure yet. Early indications suggest the S6 will be one of the most powerful Android phones around, with a Snapdragon 810 processor and a QHD screen. It\u2019ll also look better, with a premium metal finish, and it should feature an impressive 20MP camera too.<\/p>\n<p>The S6 will be launched on 1st March, with a general release planned for later in the month.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>HTC One M9<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/htc-utopia.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3605\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/htc-utopia.jpg\" alt=\"Utopia in Progress\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/htc-utopia.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/htc-utopia-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Samsung\u2019s main concern may not actually be the iPhone, however, with HTC launching their new flagship model on the same day as the S6. The HTC One M8 is generally considered to be one of the best Android phones on the market, and the M9 could see HTC take Samsung\u2019s place as the premier manufacturer of Android devices.<\/p>\n<p>From rumours, the M9 seems to be more of an evolution of the M8 than a revolution: a bigger screen, a better processor, a slight redesign but nothing too major &#8211; if it ain\u2019t broke, why fix it?<\/p>\n<p>The most interesting rumour to date is that HTC will \u201d\u02dcdo an Apple\u2019 and release two versions of the M9; one \u201d\u02dcstandard\u2019 and one \u201d\u02dcPlus\u2019.
