    plas­tic backs all the way but with cham­fered met­al edges also bring back remov­able bat­ter­ies. i have plas­tic phone, its 3 years old, it has some scratch­es on the back but noth­ing to wor­ry about, i also have glass phone and if its not in the case it usu­aly looks like some­one had lunch on it because of fin­ger­prints and also has slick met­al frame, sliperyest phone ever made. its just not made to sur­vive or to be looked at if not in thick case

    Absolute­ly agree 💯.
    Phone like one plus 7 should b made out of plas­tic and drop the price for that goril­la glass 5 back .. it’ll be much lighter and not slip­pery as hack.…

    Google pix­el 3a is a bril­liant idea 💁🏼‍♂️

    Glass back phones with­out wire­less charg­ing are com­plete­ly pointless.

    Give me a device with the least impact on our plan­et and biggest chance that it can be recy­cled or reused. I put a case on any­thing that has a screen so who cares.

    I doubt that plas­tic will ever com­plete­ly go away with phones. I’ve had plas­tic, and I’ve had met­al. I’ll nev­er get glass because I do not want to put a case on my phone, I like to go with a screen pro­tec­tor and noth­ing else on my devices.

    Review­ers DID this. The whole apple focus on “pre­mi­um” build. nonsense.

    Ive always main­tained plas­tic is supe­ri­or. More durable, cheap­er, allows remov­able bat­ter­ies etc more eas­i­ly, more easy repairs often etc.

    My dream phone would be met­al AND sup­port wire­less charg­ing but I don’t think that will hap­pen any time soon
    I miss my htc 10 it was build like tank! Except the charg­ing port that died on me.… Like every oth­er phone I’ve used.….

    Met­al and glass make phones heavy. I don’t like phone that weights more than 150g.

    Hon­est­ly I agree, the iPhone 5C was built incred­i­bly well even if it was made with plas­tic. I miss the days when you could keep your device with­out the case and it would be com­plete­ly fine and you did­n’t have to baby them.

    The peo­ple who com­plained every review about plas­tic phones’ build qual­i­ty being poor and the advan­tages of glass and met­al are now ask­ing for plas­tic back. The recep­tion was nev­er good with their designs, always that they had a cheap feel­ing design that was infe­ri­or to any oth­er. Make your minds up guys!!

    Thank God some­body has some brains. Plas­tic is THE mir­a­cle materiel for a phone. Light, strong, superb elec­tro­mag­net­ic prop­er­ties… I don’t get this ‘met­al and glass’ thing at all. What do you care if some­one prais­es your glass phone. Inse­cure a lit­tle are we?Probably there’s a case on it any­way so it does­n’t do what glass does. Break.

    Busi­ness Oppor­tu­ni­ty in Ruvol

    I have invent­ed a Board Game [still unpub­lished and not yet out in the mar­ket] that I believe is guar­an­teed to be as chal­leng­ing and excit­ing as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

    It is my hope that one day Ruvol may sur­pass chess as the “Num­ber One Board Game in the World.” 

    The weak­ness of chess is it always starts in fixed posi­tions that the open­ing moves become “mem­o­riz­able.” In fact, not a few have so mas­tered the moves that they can play against their oppo­nents “blind­fold­ed.” It is for this very rea­son that the great Bob­by Fis­ch­er intro­duced his so-called “Fis­ch­er Ran­dom Chess,” where the start­ing posi­tion of the pieces is “ran­dom­ized” to make the mem­o­riza­tion of open­ings imprac­ti­ca­ble. For­tu­nate­ly, it is also for this rea­son that I invent­ed Ruvol where “every game” has been cal­cu­lat­ed to be a chal­leng­ing one to play.

    HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

    I detailed every­thing in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

    BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

    It is worth­while to note that the peo­ple who play chess will be the same peo­ple who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 mil­lion chess play­ers in the world. Even just a small per­cent­age of these 800 mil­lion is good enough to earn big mon­ey from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

    You may con­tact me at: rodolfovitangcol@gmail.com.

    Thanks and God bless!

    im main­ly wor­ried that the tex­ture will be not nice for me. i want it to feel nice and pre­mi­um like glass, but i dont know if it will mat­ter with the s21, because the s21 has a mat­te tex­ture. so i dont think i will fig­ure it out untill i have felt the s21 and the s21 plus/ultra.

    aka i wan­na feel the phones first and then decide on plas­tic or glass back. i per­son­aly actu­al­ly real­ly like mat­te plas­tic, but idk if the plas­tic in the s21 is mat­te enough for my liking.

    Man I have been want­i­ng this so bad on high end phones. I recent­ly bought and then sold the s22 ultra as although I loved it, it was just to heavy. I loved the size though. It just made me think how much I’d love it with a high qual­i­ty plas­tic build. Would be a notible amount cheap­er, a lot lighter and also I’d be cool not using a case with it or at least using a fair­ly thin one. I just think it would be gen­er­al­ly awe­some to weild.
