#Bring #plastic #phones
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 💁🏼♂️
When iPhone 4 starts to use glass and everyone just WOW, Laughing at Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 3 plastic looks soooo cheap .…..
Good quality plastic is better than glass
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.
Proud of plastic phone owner
Samsung sells plastic phones for 600 dollars but xiaomi are selling glass with aluminum frame for 200 dollars
Plastics phones scratch a lot and glass supports wireless charging but breaks and aluminum Feels rough when you hold it so none is good
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!!
The case is plastic anyway
Sometimes i think have a smartphone build with glass are looks more premium and expensive but it feels ‘weak’ at the same time, idk.
When are we gonna get some paper phones
Polycarbonate everything please! My all time favorite phone was my big yellow Nokia 1520 with the Carl Zeiss camera. That thing was a tank and I never put a case on it a day I’m it’s life… too bad it ran on Windows Phone 🙁
I feel like they went for glass backs to sell more accessories
Yes becous thear tough becous thay are made to last the to best high end smart phones. To go with are lg or moto becous I no becous I have several of them and thay. Still work to. And can take a beetin to becous I have droped them down stairs and thay hit the concreat floor and still servived what ever you do don’t get sam sung thear to much like I phones. Becous thear made out of glass and suck you drop them one time and thear done. And only last 2 or 3 yrs moto and lg thear phones I don’t thank thay ever. Die.
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.
what about bringing back screws, your phone brakes some screws and boom there you have a New LCD or NEW Back Cover, Bring back reparability ! no more GLUe, LOKA, UV gu Etc
Watching in poco f1
Yes! Who needs a glass back exept the reviwers anyway? It’s more prone to breaking and we put a case on it anyway.

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.

Thanks and God bless!

Watching this video on a cracked up S9 WITH a Otterbox on it.😭
Totally agree
If phones were made out of a high quality pla, its on paar with a metal one
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.
lmao… i dont care what the back of the phone is made of as long as its the most optimal and efficient for it, if i buy a phone im gonna slap a case over it anyways
Currently trying to find a newish model with plastic body sick of glass sandwich
I have plastic tablet in my tech drawer
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.
I love plastic phone, they kinda funky and fun
