Glass phones are nice, but recent plastic options have got us interested in polycarbonate again.

Business Opportunity in Ruvol
I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.â€Â
It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.â€Â
The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.†In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.†It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,†where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized†to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game†has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.
HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?
I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0
BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!
It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

Thanks and God bless!

Good that I stopped by and watched this. There will be more plastic durable impact resistant smart phones in the future ðŸ‘ÂðŸÂ»
I kind of hate my new glass phone. Glass front and metal back had the best feel to me. Plastic phones don't appeal to me much, but at present I prefer them to the glass phones. Glass phones feel like I'm holding a decoration that belongs on a shelf in my grandmother's living room, or a plate from her china cabinet.
Yes! Who needs a glass back exept the reviwers anyway? It's more prone to breaking and we put a case on it anyway.
Watching in poco f1
what about bringing back screws, your phone brakes some screws and boom there you have a New LCD or NEW Back Cover, Bring back reparability ! no more GLUe, LOKA, UV gu Etc
Thank God somebody has some brains. Plastic is THE miracle materiel for a phone. Light, strong, superb electromagnetic properties… I don't get this 'metal and glass' thing at all. What do you care if someone praises your glass phone. Insecure a little are we?Probably there's a case on it anyway so it doesn't do what glass does. Break.
Yes becous thear tough becous thay are made to last the to best high end smart phones. To go with are lg or moto becous I no becous I have several of them and thay. Still work to. And can take a beetin to becous I have droped them down stairs and thay hit the concreat floor and still servived what ever you do don't get sam sung thear to much like I phones. Becous thear made out of glass and suck you drop them one time and thear done. And only last 2 or 3 yrs moto and lg thear phones I don't thank thay ever. Die.
I feel like they went for glass backs to sell more accessories
Polycarbonate everything please! My all time favorite phone was my big yellow Nokia 1520 with the Carl Zeiss camera. That thing was a tank and I never put a case on it a day I’m it’s life… too bad it ran on Windows Phone 🙁
When are we gonna get some paper phones
Sometimes i think have a smartphone build with glass are looks more premium and expensive but it feels 'weak' at the same time, idk.
The case is plastic anyway
The people who complained every review about plastic phones' build quality being poor and the advantages of glass and metal are now asking for plastic back. The reception was never good with their designs, always that they had a cheap feeling design that was inferior to any other. Make your minds up guys!!
Plastics phones scratch a lot and glass supports wireless charging but breaks and aluminum Feels rough when you hold it so none is good
Samsung sells plastic phones for 600 dollars but xiaomi are selling glass with aluminum frame for 200 dollars
Proud of plastic phone owner
Honestly I agree, the iPhone 5C was built incredibly well even if it was made with plastic. I miss the days when you could keep your device without the case and it would be completely fine and you didn't have to baby them.
Metal and glass make phones heavy. I don't like phone that weights more than 150g.
My dream phone would be metal AND support wireless charging but I don't think that will happen any time soon
I miss my htc 10 it was build like tank! Except the charging port that died on me…. Like every other phone I've used…..
Reviewers DID this. The whole apple focus on "premium" build. nonsense.
Ive always maintained plastic is superior. More durable, cheaper, allows removable batteries etc more easily, more easy repairs often etc.
I doubt that plastic will ever completely go away with phones. I've had plastic, and I've had metal. I'll never get glass because I do not want to put a case on my phone, I like to go with a screen protector and nothing else on my devices.
Give me a device with the least impact on our planet and biggest chance that it can be recycled or reused. I put a case on anything that has a screen so who cares.
Glass back phones without wireless charging are completely pointless.
Good quality plastic is better than glass
When iPhone 4 starts to use glass and everyone just WOW, Laughing at Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 3 plastic looks soooo cheap ……
Absolutely agree 💯.
Phone like one plus 7 should b made out of plastic and drop the price for that gorilla glass 5 back .. it'll be much lighter and not slippery as hack….
Google pixel 3a is a brilliant idea ðŸ’ÂðŸÂ¼â€Â♂ï¸Â
plastic backs all the way but with chamfered metal edges also bring back removable batteries. i have plastic phone, its 3 years old, it has some scratches on the back but nothing to worry about, i also have glass phone and if its not in the case it usualy looks like someone had lunch on it because of fingerprints and also has slick metal frame, sliperyest phone ever made. its just not made to survive or to be looked at if not in thick case
Samsung Galaxy S5 the only one phone with a removable back and a ip67 certification.
What a great piece of technology.
plastic is great. i have a pixel 3a xl and i have no problem with it at all.
Reviewers certainly beat the corporate drum which served up ever more expensive phones, but we consumers fueled the movement when we bought them. Plastic makes a lot of sense in terms of wireless charging, 5G and durability. But hey, not as many shekels go to the corps and not as many bloated service costs are rung up for cracked or broken fronts & backs.
-Next stupidest trend? The zero brow/chin movement. What an utter joke. Yes, by all means, let's have a total glass screen front. Who cares about optical recognition, stereo speakers or waterproof cameras?
-Longest and stupidest trend? What phone is the slimmest? Battery life? Who cares as long as the phone is ever increasingly slim.
hypocrisy at its best.
Watching on my red POCO and since its POCO… Don't need a caseðŸ˜Â
I always liked plastic phones I agree to this video
I like plastic. The iphone 5C was plastic, and it looked premium to me. We still have the 5C and it looks like the day it was bought. Plastic will certainly last aa long as glass and metal, and they will all outlast the battery.
Why would the industry want to make phones that are not slippery and fragile? They are after all in the business if selliing phones. And people are dim enough to just keep on buying them for ever increasing prices.
Pocophone is the perfect example of that plastic build…
glass sandwich phones are more of a jewelry rather than a phone.. plus most consumers use cases anyway..
Im using a old phone from 2016 and its a plastic back, with a Removable battery, headphone jack, and it cost 100 bucks.
Plastic Flip Phones -> Plastic Smartphones -> Glass back Smartphones -> Glass folding phones (essentially glass flip phones but smart)
I see a pattern here
Pretty much any phone I buy gets a cover that's almost always made of plastic
