If you're going to put a case on anyway, how does it make glass back phone more premium? Plastic or glastic as Samsung is calling these days, is better way to go as it makes phone lighter and wayy cheaper to replace back panel even if it chips or fades. Glass back is just there to make a sale, at least for most consumers. Not to forget the cost of the phone - I almost got Realme GT2 pro despite lack of telephoto cam but only held back due to 8 gen 1's low power efficiency. Hoping there are some non glass back 8+ gen1 phone launching soon
Advantages of glass back vs plastic back: PRO Glass back NPCs: "iT's pReMiUm" PRO Plastic back CHADS: "It doesn't fucking break if you drop it from 2 feet high, which you will"
As a plastic enjoyer it sucks to find most good phones in my budget little less than 100$( i live in India so it works) are all glass back like i know how this potato can run genshin, honkai and cod but why glass back companies are in on it
For me the glass back on a smartphones is the single most stupid and aggravating thing ever "invented" for smartphone. Its only purpose is to break and make you want a new phone. How can people be so stupid to want to have a phone with a smooth back? To make it easier to lose grip and drop it on the floor?
I literally cant hold my iphone 11 who tf thought its good to make a phone slipppery and whenever it drops i get a heart sttack i admire my gfs iphone 8 much thinner and aluminum back looks better than mine also dhe doesnt use a cover
Aluminium back is the best. It's the perfect mix between a plastic and a glass back. Has the premium feel and looks and has more durability than both of them combined. It's one of the reasons why I love my iPhone 7 so much.
Aluminum is good but the thing is it can bend and deform and gets scratched very easily and of course no wireless charging plus it blocks signal, I would like to see someone try ceramic in a phone tho
You end up having to put a case on it, which completely negates the 'premium' feel...whatever that means? It also makes the phone a lot bulkier and completely fucks the aesthetic of the phone.
And even with a case some cases do not absorb back impacts very well so a bad back first drop on a glass backed phone even with a case on can still shatter.
Droppings a phone happens a lot more than scratching it with a knife. Newer glass is more shatter resistant but in exchange, its more susceptible to scratching.
Frankly i like phones that have glass front/back and aluminium frame, they look more premium and quality built. I dont really like phones with plastic back, because they do not seem to be good even if they are premium/expensive ones. Still everyone chose what suits them most, thats why we have so much choice these days.
Although glass backs do feel more premium... if they live in a phone case most of their lives it does start to feel like 'what's the point', other than that initial feeling you have when first buying and holding it.
Gonna be annoying upgrading from a pixel 5 to pixel 7. P5 has a metal frame with a premium plastic coating creating a hybrid design for wireless charging. P7 will have a premium glass that I’ll have to cover in a cheap plastic
As soon as I buy a phone, I put a case and screen protector on the phone, so this argument is irrelevant. What about paper or plastic, or do you bring your own reusable fabric grocery bags?
What i think, is, the glass is better, yeah, it breaks so easy even from a fall of a reduced height, but it is supposed to be like that with the purpose of absorb all the impact, cuz the important thing in a phone, is your data, the plastic is so flexible, but the impact ends in your hardware with the posibility of damage in your battery, and thats why it have aluminium too, the aluminium absorbs the big part of the impact and it lefts a hole, is more like, protect your data at exchange of visuals, and glass have wireless charge and contact transactions, share your battery, and have a bit less trouble with the heat, and thanks to the aluminium, they use to put like a liquid heat discipator in a side were u dont usually touch while gaming, and what about the water resistance?, well, i think the glass smartphones have another layer of plastic or aluminium inside the glass, if somebody knows more about this, i would like to hear it
Plastic is much better. The problem is when someone wants to buy a midrange phone they always use glass xiaomi is an example. The reviewers trashing plastic phones also aren't helping.
Why would anybody in their right mind want a glass back phone ?, *jerry rig everything* Glass is glass and glass breaks. Feels nice in the hand and all that but anybody that has ever dropped one will testify that the price to get it fixed is scandalous, especially from Crapple!! There prices defy belief!!
Everybody loves glass back until they drop it. How many people have you seen walking around with cracked phones because its too expensive to repair. Hmmm, just seems like another marketing scheme to get you to upgrade sooner. I'll pick hard back over glass every time. As someone said on here earlier... that once you put a case on it, and most smart people do unless its an Active or Rugged phone, there is no difference. Most hard back phones do wireless charging just fine if that's your thing. I wish more reviewers would mention if its glass back or other because its a deal breaker for a lot of people.
Plastic phones are hands down the best. Glass is not durable. One wrong move can easily break it or Crack. Why would I want to buy such an expensive phone only for it to break easily when cheaper ones are more durable.
@@OdusEstore it's not about budget. It's just not worrying about dropping ur phone. What's the point of ur glass back phone if u slap a case 😜 in the end.

Engineer 2: Have you considered using and exceedingly thin layer of glass-- one of the most fragile materials imaginable? Engineer 1: That sounds like a great idea. I want my customers to have random unnecessary sharp garbage in their pocket instead of a utilitarian tool.
While glass is glass, and glass breaks. A lot of glass nowadays isn't that fragile and they are very good at resisting scratches from everyday object such as keys. Unless you are dropping your phone every 5 seconds or putting it in an extreme condition 24/7 it won't break that easily. It also depends on the phone structural integrity such as the phone frame. Even a plastic phone can still break or chipped when it is dropped if it lacks a strong structure and build quality.
I find that the idea of a Glass back Is IDIOTIC! Drop an unprotected phone on any cement sidewalk- it doesn't matter what side it drops on- SOMETHINGS GONNA BREAK! You used to at least have a 50-50 chance! So- then you put your nice beautiful PREMIUM feeling glass backed phone In a PLASTIC case!!!!!! ( Where it spends the rest of its life! ) You get a very short time to enjoy that glossy, slippery premium feel- right when you first open the box, if you like your phone at all, you get that case on quick! Where the glass fails miserably is the moment you find your battery failing. You can all too easily crack your nice glass back as you heat the phone up, then try gingerly to remove the glass to replace your battery! Oh the relief when you finally get the new replacement glass back on, without also cracking it! As for plastic, when I worked for a sign company, I bent a thin piece of lexan (polycarbonate) back and forth DOUBLE like a piece of cardboard, it folded on the same line about 100 times before it finally cracked!!!! Why can't we have phone backs made of this stuff?! You could smack it with a hammer all day without it cracking!!! Also, gone are the days of the removable back- you could simply snap in a new battery, even carry a couple of spares charged and ready! Not any more! We take a great hit in functionality when all we want to do is smoothly pet our new cell phone reveling in its shiny smooth thinness! ooooohhh! isn't it pretty?!!! There should at least be an option to replace your glass back with a polycarbonate one- after you get sick of the glass one breaking on you!

I'll go with plastic. That's one of the reasons I switched to the Pixel 6a from the iPhone 13
So it’s logic vs feelings I knew it

Metal=No wireless charging
We can’t to any type of metal because of wireless charging. A electro magnetic field won’t go through a type of metal
Aluminum is good but the thing is it can bend and deform and gets scratched very easily and of course no wireless charging plus it blocks signal, I would like to see someone try ceramic in a phone tho
Who even need wireless charging? It's inefficient, slow and expensive
@@skfl7014 personally I don't used it but when my charging port got damaged on my note 8 it was a life saver

And even with a case some cases do not absorb back impacts very well so a bad back first drop on a glass backed phone even with a case on can still shatter.
I was changing my phone case and found the glass back completely shattered. And now I have 6 stitches.
Thanks a lot Samsung.
Glass also is more scratch resistant, it’s hard to scratch it even with a knife, but with plastic a knife will destroy it

The material is not only about the feel-It’s also about weight,durability ect!.
@@RaghavVijay yeaa and plastics are durable😅
It’s also crazy if you are paying for a flagship and it has a plastic back. Even if you can’t see or feel it, It’s still kinda crazy

It really puzzles me why people would pick premium expensive weak glass over durable affordable plastic
I prefer plastic in my opinion. Phones with plastic backs last a little bit more than glass. My phone crack even with a good cover.

For samsung the replacement cost is very minimal.

You don’t always have choice if you-want a certain type of phone.

To be fair i dont like glass back i prefer plastic so argument that its look nicer is not working for me
Or glass fells like glass i still prefer plastic texture not the glass
Plastic back Phone make the battery to swell but glass back Phone air lock the battery so it will not sell
Sorry swell
Nah, glass backed phones will still swell the battery. I've had to replace many myself
Plastic or metal back will share the heat faster though so chances of battery going belly up are lesser
hey there
Sorry I mean swell
I prefer glass.
