      Today got to be a sad day for Samsung plastic lover.

      But guess what come next year once Samsung released the metal smartphone , then the plastic lover will start to berate any phone that made out of plastic.

      That show how cheap fanboys can be.

                    AnonD-100960, 29 Aug 2013That is totally correct. I would gladly sacrifice 2mm for s... moreTrue and most important part.Its ridiculous to pay more than 500 € for a high-end phone that doesn't even last a day.

                                good move, but damn! next yeaar?! how about now?

                                btw, what good is metal if it dent or chip easily? i think ultrathin device are unlikely to be tough and durable.

                                    Haha! Samsung ditches plastic in favour of metal whereas Apple does the exact opposite. I can't wait for trolls' comments once this happens - I'm gonna throw on my shades, grab a recliner and treat myself to a nice glass of bourbon to enjoy this properly.

                                      Two of my Galaxy phones broke over a course of heavy usage for a year. Samsung Just doesn't make durable phones. I'm never ever opting for Samsung Galaxy phones.

                                        Aluminoum is cool but it is not durable. I prefere carbon fiber or some other premium material.
