But it’s just dumb, so it hasn’t caught on.
I hate phones with glass backsides, I’ve replaced the back of my S20 a dozen times before switching to a phone with a plastic back. Yes it looks nice (if you use it without a cover), but it breaks so easily. It’s always super thin glass, not the thick gorilla glass like the front. If you look at it wrong it cracks.
I mean it is kind of dumb, especially if it’s as delicate as the front. I was young and I didn’t really understand the manufacturing realities. I’m guessing phones will keep looking the same for the next bit, with a slim chance Apple’s goggle thing will actually catch on a bit.
Pixel 5 had a metal back coated with some resin thing. Best phone design in history.
…Except the battery replacement is crazy difficult.
