Anonymous, 21 Dec 2021OH MY GOD. Is cracked glass ALL you people know? Eh? You ap... moreThat's cool and all, but some people use something called a case, which is designed to prevent that kind of stuff from happening. I believe plastic backs (matte) benefit more for cases because they don't shatter and the case protects the back from scratching. However, I also believe that glass is it's own form of nice due to the back never deforming, making weird sticky noises. Glass and Plastic each have their own benefits, but I will say that glossy plastic is just plain ridiculous.

    Good news? That's horrible news!

    Glass is never more sturdy than plastic. It weighs more and it's also more slippery, plus it's a goddamn fingerprint magnet! And it's more expensive. I really can't see any benefits of the glass backsides. It was a really stupid move of Samsung to choose glass.

      Anonymous, 21 Dec 2021LOL. Stop lying.If you actually read their comment, you'd know that they cited JerryRigEverything and I can confirm both what the comment says and what I can simply observe in JRE's videos. I suggest you start watching them

          synxzan, 22 Dec 2021why people still asking for removable battery in 2021?Because it is possible and desirable. They just don't do it so that you're more likey to buy a new phone when the battery degrades. Slimness is just an excuse.

              Glass is worst material to have on the back. Google showed it can be metal and still charge wirelessly, why is glass still an option? Regardless, plastic is fine and they could have went ceramic if they really wanted it to have a glassy look/feel but that's also worse than plastic or metal.

                mawlki, 21 Dec 2021glass is glass and will not have scratches at level 2 , 3, 4, 5Oh...so that's why I have a scratch after only one day without a back protector? got it...probably have diamonds in my pocket or smth...

                  How is this good news? The most stupid and useless trend is to have glass back, for what? What is its function other than looking good under a back case protector?

                      Wait which phones do even have a metal unibody build these days ? Also, lack of an SD card slot is no big deal now that phones have ample amounts of storage

If only people would stop praising dumb plastics like they are the best thing in the world.
