It's because it's plastic AND glass.
They wanted to cut corners while still looking premium but it's made the phone more fragile.

I'm mean, they were one of the early Apple followers, I'm mean adopters, to remove the headphone jack. All this headphone jack talk in OnePlus is just silly.

Even the early Samsung's is not PC (pre S4s, not sure about after). From the video and see the way the edge cracks near the buttons, it hard for me to believe it PC plastic.

I say a premium full polycarbonate body phones are still the best. And with Nokia/Microsoft's track record to back it up, it going to be hard to dispute.

They should have
- retained audio jack
- put metal frame instead plastic
- single punch hole camera
Now it is a good phone with weak body and ugly front camera hole which is probably most distracting in any phone.
I wish if there was redmi k20 pro with oxygen OS.

Some nice spots I took 10 years back in 3GS can still be used in 3D photo rendering in today’s iPhones. Their R&D is way too good (especially in 2010). But now a days for the best cameras it is Androud flagships, period. I own two iPhones XS Max & 11 Pro, great mobile.

These Chinese companies should stop using Polycarbonate. They should add fiberglass or use Kevlar. I'd rather use tough looking and feeling polymers than stylish plastic. I don't care if it increases the manufacturer's price.
