We expect the highest quality of workmanship from flagships, but we associate plastic with a lower price range. Recently, the media reports that the Galaxy S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra will have reinforced polycarbonate housings. Is it a good decision?
Many sources suggest that the basic model of Samsung's future flagship series, the Galaxy S21, will have a plastic back - also called 3D Glasstic. This material is supposed to resemble glass, but it is lighter and does not give the impression of cheap plastic. Samsung has been using them for some time in its A series or the Galaxy S20 FE model. However, there are also opinions that the entire Galaxy S21 line will have plastic housings. Where did this news come from?
The Korean YouTuber called "Super Roader" posted a video about the new S-series models, stating that the Galaxy S21, S21 Plus and S21 Ultra will have a reinforced polycarbonate case. It is worth adding that the said YouTuber is a former employee of the Wireless Business Department of Samsung Electronics, which adds credibility to him - and his reports.
