20 March 2024

Other than that everything you see outside apart from the buttons are plastic. Atleast it sure scrapes off like plastic. So its just black plastic covered up in silver paint.

                      rizki1, 20 Mar 2024Quite impressive for a €320 phone.You can achieve the same results for any plastic phone. I dropped my A13 5G many times using a cheap $2 anime case off AliExpress and I neglected it a lot

                        The guy who scratched and scraped the phones frame says its plastic, why would you say its aluminum?

                          Gorilla glass 5 proved to be a really strong material over the years. I can back up that with my s9 not having any cracks despite falling a couple of times

                            rizki1, 20 Mar 2024Quite impressive for a €320 phone.Its because its plastic😃

                              Proving all the Nothing Haters wrong! This phone is incredible for it's price tag. 12/256GB for around 360 euros is astounding

                                Nothing hurts it

                                  Why dropped it on the flat side?? Normally the crack happen if your phone drop on the side and not the front or back (flat) side. Why?? Because the surface is big enough to absorb the impact. Try to drop it on the side. I'll bet you it will crack even if you have titanium 🤦🏻‍♂️

                                    Quite impressive for a €320 phone.

                                      people still do / watch drop tests?
                                      Haven't ppl firgured out in the 15 years since we had smartphones that these results are totally random and that you would need to repeat it in lab conditions for dozens of times with dozens of phones for it to be significant?

                                        Regardless of what you might hear, I own this phone and it's awesome. It does everything I need it to do with a good battery and good camera too.
