I take it you are being sarcastic.
The IP6 has amazing build quality and I have had an M8, Note 4 and Z3 and I believe the 6 is miles ahead. For one, Apple are very careful with their manufacturing process on the 6 when it comes to aluminium. The M8 I found easily scratched/chipped more so than the 6 on the back. The camera on the M8 was a disaster due to the plastic protective lense which had a crappy coating that scratched up. No such problems on the IP6 with the saphire lense. The M8 also had those awful rocker buttons, and as for the Note 4, it was lousy. Using the official samsung protective case scratched the chrome finished bezel edges and certain headphone plugs would erode the painted finish around the headphone jack. Not the only one who has these issues. I liked the Z3 though, but I had issues with what looked like glue under the bottom left panel edge which causes light leakage
The only minus I can think of on the IP6 is the potential to scratch the so called 'ion-stenghtened' glass easily (or at least the coating), though I never had that issue.
However I am willing to give the S6 edge a go as I believe from holding it in the hand it matches the IP6 in terms of build quality. The design is nicer than the IP6 too but I think that's subjective. To each his own.0 -

In build quality, it's perfectly fine but it's no savile row suit. Whether it's subjectively better than some other phone doesn't change that basic fact.
Change what basic fact ? That's it's not a suit ?
Name 1 phone which has better build quality at the moment than the IP6 ? Perhaps the M8/M9 but again I don't think the aluminium on these HTC phones matches the 6 for quality going by imperfections and nicks in the finish or propensity for picking up marks. Maybe the Z3 I think. I definitely thought it was close to the IP6, perhaps a match. But again none of these phones are 'savile row' suits either and definitely not as svelte as the IP6. The Note 4 is just average build quality in my view. Of course I'm only speaking from personal experience having owned most flag ship phones over the last few years. I haven't taken the thing apart of had a materials scientist look at it
As I said design is a subjective thing. I know a couple of people who don't like the Edge and others who hate the glass back. I love the design. As regards the IP6, I think the bezels could be smaller for sure. But most phones today are definitely slab like. I think perhaps the IP5s looked nicer than the 6 design wise.
Personally I will be moving from the IP6 to the S6 Edge if three do decent upgrade prices as I am now due one.0 -
