See if the Chinese speaker will correct you (spoiler: They won't because it sounds similar to how they normally pronouce it). I bet the problem here is you can't even pronounce 'shall' correctly to come to conclusion I was wrong.

      Also hoping for Samsung to ditch "Galaxy" already.

If the phone have the wireless charging then both are good. I dont know how well it works for wireless charging when the back of the phone be in metal and then what ever type of metal. For me dont make sense that plastic is cheaper then the glass back and that glass back is more premium. To be totally honest i see it totally weird to complain about plastic or glass backs and then talk that close to 1000 dollars a phone should not have plastic back while glass back is ok. Probably glass back is cheaper to make then plastic back or the cost would be very similar so i dont see a problem in it especially when both benefit for fast wireless charging

While i cant make difference in there symbols. It's not like i see them everywhere all the time to make difference of them. If your Asian then for sure you make difference. But when your not from the culture and dont fallow there cultures then you dont make difference. Never mind that most people probably wont make difference is a person from Japan, Korea or China also. Even when they speak there own language. I watch a lot of anime so i probably make difference in Chinese and Japanese but i am not sure to guarantee it

The person whom you replied to didn't say that he wanted plastic backs on flagship phones. Even if he wanted that, it would be his prerogative. People have preferences. In any case, they were discussing the material. Chiming in and forcing your opinion on other people were inappropriate and uncalled for.

                right always, 25 Aug 2021Ahh the Burn...! your proximity sensor just failed..! hahahaUff great argument, I could not expect less than a useless one, but thanks for the concern, the sensor of my Google pixel is quite good, now proceed to not respond anymore since it assumed that I have xiaomi and it is not the case

                            I don't care if the back panel is plastic or glass. if it feels good to touch, it feels good. end of story. you can complain all you want that S21 uses plastic back panel, but that's just your personal opinion. no need to force everyone to agree with you

If the plastic reduce the manufacturing cost then it should reflect on the selling price. If you want to put in on $1000 phone then dont fucking ask this shit when people mention it.
