To upgrade or not?

So currently I have an S4. I'm looking to buy for a new phone. I heard so much hype about S6 and there's HTC M9. With all the fuzz, I'm not just sure which way to go. I want both the luxury of having my phone on the go ( longer battery life), being able to play my favorite game with less or minimal lag, have an SD card, decent camera or so.:\

I'd wait until there's some hands-on time around March 1st before making a judgment call. I'd go HTC because of the company's design chops and cleaner software, but I want to see what the GS6 is really like first.

Wait for MWC and see what you like.

Honestly - Samsung will likely kill it when it comes to hardware. I'm pretty comfortable saying the S6 will have better performance, better camera, faster storage, have a touch biometric scanner, and a superior 2K screen. The build should be better but still truly unknown and it's yet to be proven when Touchwiz is truly lightened and stock-fast.

The M9 will probably remain a good choice though the design may be getting a bit tired (3rd year in a row) and the only real advantage will probably be Boom Sound.
