Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge available April 10: It's all about the base | ZDNet

"Fortunately for both Apple and Samsung they only need to keep the base happy and upgrading"

Seems like a large part of that Samsung's base find the S6 to be too much a departure from the S5 and S4, S3. No more removable battery, no more SD card, no more water resistant, no more plastic is superior, now we have glass back fingerprint magnet, design over function. And still expensive. Sounds like all the criticism they had for the iPhones can now be applied to S6 to me. 

With Apple, survey shows 20% of iPhone 6 users came from Android platform. In China, that number is 30%. Apple is not only catering to their base but seem to be getting a huge chuck of Android's base as well.
