progettarsi@feddit.it 2 years agostill better than plastic
plastic dont break, is cheap to replace, don’t get hot or cold in extreme weather, don’t interfere with wireless charging, have much more grip.
I don’t understand why anyone would prefer metal/glass phone besides for the reason “look at me, ma, my phone is pretty”.
Nope. I’d rather have a plastic or rubber shell and rubber mounting for the screen. They’ve made fragile a marketing gimmick so you’d have to replace your phone sooner.

Not at all. A plastic case also protects the screen way better than any screen-protector could. My Sony Xperia survived at least 5 falls face-down on the slab floor, while my OnePlus 9 broke on a carpet. (It’s glass back also broke while trying to fix the screen, but that’s another story.)
Glass with a metal body just is a bad idea for a daily utility device, except for the manufacturers who want to sell you one yearly. And then the extra workarounds to get antenna signal out, guess it was worth it.
