Stars included for extra officialness 
That time of year and we already have threads for the Z4 and M9. I think it's safe to say the Galaxy range has lost some of its dominance over the years. The GS5 was a great phone but the competition improved and I think the market had got a little tired of Samsung's tiresome design. This lead to new models with metal frames and current models, like the Note 4, adding metal frames to capture that more premium feel.
Personally I think the GS6 needs a fresh design, a major change to TouchWiz and some improvement in areas the Galaxy range haven't always been the strongest in e.g. speakers, a fingerprint sensor more similar to Apple's version and minimum onboard storage. Along with this, all of the usual evolutionary spec bump, should produce a solid phone - though the early reports of the 810 SoC are a little worrying.
The rumoured specifications are:
No doubt there will be 17 (an Edge version has been rumoured) different iterations of the phone. I currently have the GS4 which despite having a few issues, I still love. I was considering the Z4 because Sony have done a stellar job with their screen/battery technology on the Z3 but the probable locked bootloader and decreased developer support (compared to the Galaxy range) have put me off. I have recently turned my attention to the M9 as having a 1080p coupled with a fast SoC screen appeals to me for battery purposes. However if Samsung pulls something out of the bag, I am likely to get a GS6. No doubt, if you buy either the Z4, M9 or GS6 - you will be a happy customer
