We have no qualms in saying we love the Samsung Galaxy S6. You need only check out our full review of Samsung’s latest smartphone to see why. But we love the HTC One M9, too (as you will see in our review of that device, as well). Needless to say, when the Phandroid staff put our heads together to rank the best Android phones currently on the market, agreeing on who would hold the top spot wasn’t easy.
Did HTC’s decision to stick with the premium build that won them accolades with last year’s One M8 hurt the case of the One M9? Did Samsung sway us with a sweeping redesign of their flagship Galaxy handset? What about the dark horse, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge? Those devices were easy choices for the top three spots on our list, but if you want to know their final order you’ll have to head over and see for yourself.
Things are bound to only get more complicated come next month with the launch of the LG G4, the manufacturers answer to Samsung and HTC’s 2015 workhorses. We have a rundown of what to expect along with our complete roundup of top Android smartphones, rumored, and upcoming devices. Visit our Android phone guide for the whole shebang.
