      SNA1970, 24 Aug 2020All glass body needs to disappear. I want Metal body back ...Metal gets worn out and if it's painted, when dented it looks as horrible as shattered glass. I personally like white glass phones. No fingerprints and even if it's all scratched up scratches are hardly visible even up close.

      I actually don't mind plastic phone frames and backs if they are made of solid colored plastic. Meaning, even if it's scuffed, scratched or dented, it's still the same color through entire thickness of plastic. Painted metal or plastic is the worst. Gets worns and scratched and then metal from underneath is poking out. Or a base plastic which is often white... One of reasons why I always take white phones, because they always come with silver aluminium frame. It has finish on aluminium, but even if it gets worn it's hardly visible. Not so much with aluminium coated in black where silver pokes out with the shine of thousand suns.

              A shame it cracked, but it's still impressive how that only happened once. The crack did not worsen, the camera module didn't crack, the front panel (the most expensive thing to replace) didn't either... Victus deserves praises and I'm glad this was something I looked forward to when I got my Note20 Ultra.

              (Note that obviously, not all phones with Victus will have the same results, depending on design and thickness of the glass. But still, your next high-end device won't be damaged so easily)

                  MrDong, 24 Aug 2020Was just referring to the back.Still logic remains the same.
                  Actually now it becomes more logical.

                  Samsung has very curvy edges back glass and iPhone has flat back glass.

                        sapphire is scratch proof and because of that really really hard. Doesn't scratch but it can crack because of its hardness. So a sapphire phone would probably mean it won't scratch but when it falls then it's game over.....

                                  The glass seems better than the previous gorilla glass but still won't improve sales of Note 20 ultra with Exynos.

                                    On a rough terrain is equal to gorrilla glass.

                                        So it sounds better than GG 7.
