Anonymous, 14 Jan 2022Some ppl defend plastic just because samsung usedAnd others defend it because of it's qualities. There's different qualities of plastics, some are useless, some are superior for the job than even metals and glass. Of course this isn't a vouch for the Samsung's plastics .

It's still just glass. Let me know when someone bothers with a sapphire display. Harder to scratch, for starters. Still waiting. Sure, it'll cost more, but unlike "we made glass that's better than glass", it'll actually be worthwhile.
Even the """sapphire""" camera lenses that Apple uses are just glass with a fancy coating so that they can add "sapphire" to their marketing spin - it doesn't do anything special.

Anonymous, 17 Jan 2022The fact is that both of them are cheap materials. When you... moreYeah, that's what I'm saying. Glass is more expensive to make than plastic, but that doesn't necessarily mean it feels more premium. In fact, I'll bet you if you did a blind smartphone back test, and put two phone, one with frosted glass and the other frosted plastic back, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference. They are just suckers to their MIND, just like expensive wine buyers are -> they see expensive price tag, automatically in their mind they assume quality before they even test out the product.

RandyRiffin, 15 Jan 2022Yet, according to others, plastic is cheaper than glass. Or... moreThe fact is that both of them are cheap materials. When you compare two cheap things, most of the time, one thing will be cheaper because it's likely that the prices won't be identical, but it doesn't mean that the less cheap one is "premium." Generally, it's more expensive to manufacture glass because it requires more energy. There is nothing fancy about it.

Is there really any much improvement with Victus+? I still expect JerryRig to say his quintessential "scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7" phrase with these phones.
Also, I really miss the matte-plastic backs of the Nexus 5 & 9, as well as the old Nokia Lumia phones. Those felt nice. Oh and aluminum, I miss aluminum backs too. OnePlus 3/3T had some of the nicest aluminum unibody design I've ever seen.

Anonymous, 16 Jan 2022Sapphire is hard but cracks easyBut doesn't scratch at all. What happens more often, scratches that annoy you through entire use of device or that one potential hypothetical drop that may or may not shatter it? I never shattered a single piece of glass on any phone. They were all pretty badly scratched from just stuff in pockets and on other surfaces.

>But even if they use an older version of Gorilla Glass for the rear panel, it will still be an upgrade over the S21 and S21+, which got plastic backs
Glass licking loser.
