How would everyone feel if aluminum was used as the chassis material?

As long as it didnt interfer with the Google Wallet app .(NFC)
Also maybe just an option,since everyone might not want and want to use custom backs like it is now.

Exactly...it looks like next year I may have to buy an iPhone. I don't get the point of increasing screen size in every iteration. Pretty soon the S4 is going to be 5.2 and then what's the point in having the Note line? Hopefully one of the customizations of the X2 will be choice of screen size because I don't want anything bigger than it is right now.
I like that they're making bigger phablets for those that want it but I don't understand why the smaller ones are going away. Ppl bought Samsung phones when they were 4". The one handed use market is completely ignored except by pos super low spec prepaid devices. I unfortunately do not see a change coming in that regard either. They'll keep increasing it until we're all carrying iPad airs in our pocket.
I fully expect whatever phone it is to pack "last year's chip" (probably the S800) in a similar design to the X8.Yes but just know that the X2 probably won't be released won't be released until Q3 2014, by which time the "high-end" probably won't even be the 805 (2.5 GHz Quad-Core) while the 800 will be "outdated" and "last year's SoC" which is what people were saying about the X8 when it released. Cameras will be 20+ MP, displays will be higher than 500 PPI, etc.
Asking for a quad-core, 1080p phone sounds like a spec-*****'s wish-list now but will be old by the time this phone is released so it won't seem like much to ask then

You still have the S3 and S4 mini and HTC One mini and the iPhone. There's still options for those that prefer a smaller screen.

The S3 is 150 years old by now. The S4 mini and HTC One mini are not real phones, they're scaled down versions of their big brothers. They're only there to tap into that market, they didn't spend more than a weekend designing them and they're overpriced for what they are. The iPhone isn't an ANDROID choice. Basically the choice is to go low end, go phablet, or get an iPhone.
Edit - This is assuming X2 will increase phone size, because atm it's perfection size wise in my eyes.
What is it that the S4 mini and HTC One mini are lacking that would make them a bit more legitimate?

They aren't actually mini versions of their namesake's. They have mid range specs in a case that looks similar to their bigger cousins. They both have Snapdragon 400 instead of 600, inferior cameras, lack features compared to the flagship's, and are jus generally inferior phones. It would be nice to see a small phone that was truly just smaller than the flagship it is based on.
Calling the S4 Mini and One Mini S4s and Ones would be like calling the Moto G the Moto X Mini. It has the same style as the X but lacks everything else that makes the X special.
