This will most likely compete head-on with the Honor Win. Xiaomi is rumored to be launching quite a few devices by the end of this month, including the...
Apparently not, because many people buy glass back phones that are both thicker and heavier than a good synthetic, Then they add a cover to protect the back, making the phone even bulkier.
The smartphone market is goddam moronic in some aspects IMO. It all started when idiotic reviewers claimed the Galaxy S2 that was superior to the iPhone at the time, didn’t have the same “premium” feel of the iPhone. In part because it was lighter!!!
Also the Galaxy was way way more durable, the iPhone cracked if you looked at it wrong. So there is no doubt which phone was made from the better materials as in the more functional ones.
But after that “premium” phones were basically all glass despite all the downsides, like adding thickness and weight, and being way less durable, and also glass being more slippery so risk of dropping it is increased too. Unless of course you use a cover, which then again makes the glass back utterly pointless.
There is simply no way glass is a suitable material for the back of a phone. Except moronic reviewers continue to claim so, and phone makers keep making high end phones almost exclusively with glass back.
the iphone 4s at that time was pretty good tbh except for that shitty glass cover (which was extremely easy to replace unlike recent iphones), galaxy s2 was awesome tho
phones were fun and good until about 2015, then only went worse since. SD808 happened and phones got extremely hot and bulky. also glass back and headphone jack, removable batteries…
do people really care much about the thickness? i’d rather have larger battery or smaller size.
