Samsung just announced its new Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, its 2015 flagship smartphones.

Check them out in the photos below and judge for yourself.
Following countless leaks and endless teasers, Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge smartphones. The pair of S6 phones succeed the Galaxy S5, Samsung's prior flagship announced one year ago, and will be available across the world starting on April 10th.

We're live from Barcelona bringing you the latest news from Samsung's MWC 2015 press event. We're expecting to see the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, but there may be a few surprises in store.

Those low-end phones have been the company's bread and butter here in the US, and have helped it move up the rankings of smartphone makers.

Both of the phones share many characteristics and features, but the 5.5-inch Hero 3 has a full 1080p display compared to the 4.7's 720p panel, a faster Qualcomm Snapdragon 610 octa-core processor (the 4.7 has a quad-core...
It tells the time, but it's not a watch. HTC's first foray into wearables was widely expected to be an Android Wear smartwatch, but the Taiwanese company has opted to focus exclusively on fitness with its newly announced Grip GPS tracker.

The One M9 is HTC's flagship Android smartphone for 2015. It keeps the all-aluminum design of its predecessors while adding a new 20-megapixel camera, a bigger battery, and a faster processor. Here's our close-up look at the new device.
Although the aesthetic and general shape are the same, the manufacturing process for HTC's 2015 aluminum unibody is quite different from the past. It takes 70 steps and over 300 production minutes to make each phone. A new anti-scratch coating is applied after a round of meticulous hand-polishing. The front bezel is now a single piece and there are fewer parts overall. HTC has made the manufacturing more complex in its pursuit of a simpler and cleaner design. Check out these photos and our in-depth...
