I have seen this said a lot lately and struggle to understand the reasoning behind it.
How can a mainstream phone that doesn't have a glass back or fingerprint scanner be called a niche device?
One of the elite reviewers said because it wouldn't be found in a boardroom that it was one....and lamented the fact that it was made out of plastic so it was somehow looked down on as being unfitting to be there..
Since when did every phone have to look like a iPhone to be considered mainstream?
I am just getting sick and tired of hearing crap like this,being told that glass is somehow better than plastic, which it really isn't from any practical viewpoint for durability, but yet here we are being told what is and what isn't acceptable for status quo by some.
This phone is anything but a niche device, because it was built to withstand the day to day rigors people put there phones through. If it's built for this howinthehell can it be considered as such?
Has society become so vain that they have forgotten that everyday working class people are the mainstream?
Sure Samsung has screwed up and gave AT&T the exclusive on it, but if they released this everywhere I think that it would be the popular choice for the s6.
It's nice to have a pretty phone made from glass and metal, but they aren't very practical for everyday use, especially when they aren't waterproof, shockproof, dust proof. If you have to cover up a phone to make it last a few months, how practical is that?
I don't consider this phone a niche device, but firmly believe that it is being shoehorned into being accepted as one by those few who feels every phone has to look like a iPhone and be made out of the same materials.
Maybe I am just old fashioned but I think the Active isn't getting a fair shake in the press where looks matter more than durability and function.
