Hi ! Guys need help buying a new flagship. Really confused between iPhone 6, s6 edge and m9+. I like the camera on the iPhone but i really don't like the pay'N'play policy of IOS. Which one should I get ! Or shall I wait for any upcoming flagship

iPhone 6's camera is no match for S6, might not even match M9+

I would say buy S6 Edge as budget ain't a issue

As far as lags in Touchwiz is concerned, they don't lag anymore. It has been trimmed down. Touchwiz runs smooth even in Grand Prime & this is S6 we are talking about

M9+ has average camera & battery life (other things like screen n performance are also inferior compared to S6)

As far as iPhone 6 is concerned, its a waste of money. Camera isn't good for the price & design isn't so good (i liked the previous iPhones design wise)

Xperia Z5 is a good upcoming flagship but it will be launched in November

M9+ or 6S
S6 still has memory leaks and touchwiz and exynos related issues

It depends if OP wants to buy a 2012 "flagship" or a real 2015 flagship. ;)

I'd say go with S6 edge unless you want near stock android in Moto X Style or upcoming Nexus phones.

I would suggest to get s6 active if you can.
Obviously imported.

Check Unbix Therapy / Linus Tech Tips review on it.

S6 active ,it doesn't look premium sort of although it packs a punch but still a flagship should feel good while in hand

As long as you are able to compromise with S6/S6 Edge Battery,you may go ahead.

Else sacrificing fingerprint reader and Looks Active is best bet.

Also wait for Xperia Z5 lineup.
Looks promising.

Well it's flagship in spec and performance, but look wise really pathetic. I mean really really pathetic. Purchasing this is like putting a V10 in an Ambassador and calling it a supercar(technically correct).

Even I am planning to buy a phone in that segment, as my HTC One's screen has crashed and its speaker is also not working properly.
But I will get it repaired and will keep that with me as I love HTC but now HTC is no good, it is coming out with phones with same looks, even the M9+ looks same like my 2 year old HTC and also HTC is no good in service now. And considering that HTC sales are going so low, the company is in big loss, if their new line up doesn't attract customers then it would be really hard for HTC to stay in market for long.
S6 edge and Edge+ both are good, but if screen size is of no concern then I guess it is better to opt for Note 5.
But Samsung phones hanging problem always remains,only few of their lots doesn't lags.That is the only I am considering iPhone 6S even when I am no fan of apple phones.

Samsung has made its Touchwiz lighter on RAM, now it runs smooth in even Grand Prime (so S6 won't lag for sure)

S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, Note 5... Basically any new Samsung phone with the new Exynos does not lag a bit. They have made lots of optimizations, even the J5, J7 with low RAM does not lag. Earlier it was very pathetic, specially the entire grand line.
