So I've decided to narrow it down to these phones for which phone to get to upgrade from my Galaxy S4. 

 

Was kinda looking at this to compare the hardware/software that each phone have but I would like other people's opinions as well. 

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/HTC-One-M9,Motorola-DROID-Turbo,Apple-iPhone-6/phones/9003,8956,8346

 

Android is more familiar to me and they have longer battery lives than Iphone, but Iphone is much more user friendly for music/computer syncing as well as international language use like keyboards and dictionary apps. (From my experience) 

 

Opinions are welcome!

I'll vote for the M9, because I've never been able to use a droid turbo (not available in the UK) but I prefer android to iOS and after trying out the M9 I think it's just absolutely incredible in construction and looks, plus the performance beats the S6 I reckon. The iPhone 6 is really nice, but too thin, too big bezels and the battery life isn't that good.

Android meaning Droid turbo has the ridiculous battery which is what I was implying. My bad I should have specified. English is hard :P 

 

Since I have plenty of music Its easy to just plug in and hit "Sync" on itunes as opposed to my experience w/ android is plug in and drag into my music folder.

Bigger battery in the Droid Turbo, faster processor in the M9. Cleaner Android experience with the Turbo, but that can be easily fixed with the M9. Better display with the Turbo. As far as I'm concerned, iOS wasn't designed for a large phone, and it is a pain in the ass to go back in menus without a dedicated back button. I would never get a 6 or 6+.

The dedicated back button is really nice.

The iPhone 6 is better than the M9 in every way except the speakers. The Droid Turbo, imo, is an awful phone. It'll get you a couple more hours of battery life compared to the iPhone but at double the battery capacity. The iPhone is also faster than any of these phones. I personally like having a physical button on the front of the screen to easily wake the device instead of reaching for the power button. It all comes down to what you prioritize- battery life- Droid Turbo, speakers- M9, speed and pretty much everything else- iPhone, OS- arguably the M9 and Droid Turbo.
