Agree with the G4 and the M9, but I think this comment is way off base with the S6 and S6 Edge. Both phones are radically different than the S5 and a big move forward for Samsung. No other Android device has been so close to being an iPhone, hardware wise and the camera along with processing power in the S6 and S6 Edge are a big leap forward. Both no longer have a removable battery, are steel and no micro SD. Basically the Android version of an iPhone.
As more and more people have a look at this phone and the new Note 5 (which will be built almost the same according to the rumours out there, albeit with a 5.7" screen), Samsung will begin to eat up some of that iPhone market.
I personally don't like the S6. I like removable batteries and micro SD support, but more and more people are buying them now.
