I've already dropped my S8 once, and, just to reaffirm my trust in the universe, is there a rational reason for making the back glass? Note 4 had rubberized plastic on the back and while it maybe didn't exude as premium a vibe as S8, the thing stuck to your hand and was a pleasure to handle.
Is Samsung being logical or trendy?
This whole idea that glass is the only material that will allow wireless charging is so dumb that I had to chime in. You do realize that even though its glass, placing a thick otterbox case on the phone now gives the phone 2 layers to penetrate in glass and rubber to wireless charge, yet the phones still seem to wireless charge without a problem. So enlighten me as to why the back of the phone could not have just been a grippy rubber or plastic and still been able to wireless charge since its only a single layer of plastic and not a glass back as well as a plastic case. Just ridiculous whoever came up with this ideology.
Thank you. It's nice to not be the only one pointing out the emperor has no clothes...Where did I say it was necessary? That's how this stuff starts. People read what they want into what you say.
And whatever it's wrong. My note 3 w plastic sammy charging back wirelessly charges fine. That charging back is plastic and I have a thick plastic case. Charges great. Glass is pretty period. Plastic is better.We've already discussed this 2 pages ago. Check it out.

I don't think so but I guess that's an opinion. I see no advantage besides appearance.A matter of opinion.

I didn't demean looks. I simply said plastic is better functionally in every way except looks. This business about glass being better for charging or reception is silly. I suppose you could argue glass is a better heat conductor and is not flammable but u slap a case on it and both are irrelevant and so are looks.Appearance means a lot. People like to devalue it because plastic certainly is more durable. But I like beautiful phones, and the S8 and LG are two of the best looking phones I've ever held.

Mainly for two reasons...
1) People complained and ridiculed Samsung for using plastic when they did .. So they updated
2) Wireless Charging
