I have a much better experience using Windows Phone than using Android with custom UI, especially MIUI. I'm still not regretting the decision to ditch Android for Windows Phone even to this day.

        j.luis9080, 16 Jun 2021Pretty high price for a device with plastic on the back cov... moreThey didn't post a price. With trade in offers and pre-order bonuses, their devices actually offer some amazing value. Glass is nice and all but it really doesn't make much sense if you think about it. Most people cover their phone in a case and rarely would even notice a glastic/plastic backing and those who don't would probably be happy to find the rear of their phone shatter if dropped from waist height. It actually is a pretty smart move and more companies should do the same imo. We could even see some that seal the rear of the device with a separate layer to allow the backing to be easily removed using a clip system for easy replacement/repair of a scuffed/scratched backing and easy customization options!

          Pretty high price for a device with plastic on the back cover (as happened with S21) so I'm out of Samsung.

We're talking about the FRAME, not the back pa... moreyou want me to point out the main topic of this article ? it says "According to a new rumor circulating South Korean portal Naver, Samsung will only bring a glass back to its Galaxy S22 Ultra while the S22 Plus and vanilla S22 will carry plastic rears. The new leak also suggests Samsung will employ an all-new back processing design for the S22 and S22 Plus which is said to look and feel as premium as glass."

                so, where is the FRAME word you were talking about ?

With more RAM and a faster processor, it should, by right, easily handle newer updates with no problem at all. But after my MIUI 11 nightmare, that is where I had enough and decided to flash a custom ROM in it. Now that I discovered a true Linux mobile OS called Sailfish OS and there is a port for the Redmi Note 4, it's just a matter of time before I might be leaving Android at all.

                          Fine by me as long as mobile gets proper IP rating. Actually I'm glad they are moving away from glass backs. Although they achieve IP rating with metal back that will be icing on cake
