Bring back plastic phones.

2019-07-05
so I just reviewed the pixel 3a and I just reviewed the POC effective one and both of us kind of came to the conclusion that we really like plastic valve people think that plastic build materials mean the friend is gonna be worse to use that it's not as good and it's not going to perform as well but after some truly legendary plastic phones we're here to convince you otherwise in my pixel 3a review I talked about how that phone is about democratizing the pixel experience it's about getting the pixel experience in more people's hands for a lower price and a plastic build is a really great way to do that and the people that are buying this phone are probably not gonna want their phone to be cracking if they're not using a case with it hey Google has these really nice colors like purplish and it would be pretty nice if you could show that phone off without having to hide it behind a case with many of today's devices in the top and bottom portions of the market being made out of premium material such as glass and metal makes you wonder how much of the budget is going into internal things things that matter such as camera sensors displays and of course processors the pocke phone came in late last year with specs that rivaled the top-end flagship such as the galaxy s 9 plus and note 9 but it cost 1/3 the amount that they did how did Xiaomi accomplish this well when you look at the build materials it soon becomes clear sure having a shiny smooth elegant phone is cool but what's cooler to me is being able to do whatever I want on my smart phone and the pocket phone allows for this considering it has top-end specs and at a lower price because it makes use of that plastic polycarbonate composite material plastic phones also allow for the newer networking technologies like sub 6 gigahertz and millimeter wave 5g now glass also allows for this technology but you have to play some special tricks to get it to work on the Samsung Galaxy S 10 5g they had to add more glass around the rim of the phone and that just adds chance to it cracking on plastic phones the technology just works natively through that plastic material so you're good to go adding to that plus the also allows for some features that we'd like to see on the highest-end smartphone so you're not going to miss out by going with a plastic smartphone wireless charging can be done through plastic and a good example of this is the legendary Nexus 5 and you can even do water and dust resistance too as we've seen with the likes of the Galaxy s5 these are creature comforts things that we're used to saying in the highest end smartphones but just because a device is made out of plastic doesn't mean we can't have those here too now there are clearly reasons why you might want a glass phone they look really great they feel really great in the hand but there are a lot of ways that plastic makes a lot of sense to it can reduce the cost its shatter resistant and I just like to see this material populate the market a little bit more than it is today all right that's been it let me know your thoughts in the comment section down below do you want to see more plastic devices or would you prefer that every single phone was glass let me know and I will catch you in the next video
