    its always Google who has these stupid problems, poor quality control.

    but funnily enough the original Pixel was the one with the least problems, followed by maybe the Pixel 4/a.

                              Xiaomi has the best build quality

                                AnonD-804996, 20 Oct 2020I don't know why case is metal and then covered in thi... moreProbably some stupid balancing act between price (profit) and features. Aluminum should be more durable than plastic, but cheaper to make than a glass sandwich. Then there's this overrated opinion nowadays, that a heavier device feels better in the hand, feels more premium. So choosing aluminum over plastic because it's slightly heavier could also be possible. But Google also wanted to offer wireless charging, so they drilled a hole in the middle of the aluminum back for the charging coil. But then they had to hide it, so they covered everything up with "this grippy goo". Holes are a structural weakness, and I wouldn't be surprised if it has something to do with this gap between screen and frame somehow.

                                Anyhow, I agree with you, plastic would've been a better option. And I'm looking forward to the durability test from JerryRigEverything.

                                  The 7T should be a better buy.

                                      Now we have evidences of low budget process.
