Galaxy Note 20 - About the plastic back...

[the_boon]

At first I applauded Samsung for taking the risk of riling up people by using a plastic back (which is far more drop resistant) as opposed to a glass back like everyone would expect, on their new premium $1000 top-of-the-line flagship smartphone.

But then I thought, why not make everyone happy?

They could have gone all Note 4 with a rubber/textured/faux leather style back as seen in BlackBerry's, Samsung XCover Pro, etc (yes it's wireless charging compatible).

That would have been a decent alternative which can still look and feel premium without the downsides of glass (shattering, fingerprints, weight), instead of opting for a shiny plastic back that's trying to emulate glass.

What are your thoughts about it?

Hideous. Stick with the Mystic Bronze without a skin, whether it's the glass-backed Ultra or the standard Note20 with its polycarbonate back.

I had to take my cover off my Note 10+ to see what color it was. Sure, there are a few who rock the phone naked... but most put a case on it. My phone could be made of just about anything. The glass screen is all I ever touch of it.
