This is actually pretty crazy. Wonder how much it'll affect the overall design of modern smartphones. Will we witness the return of flagships with plastic back covers?
I couldn't care less if the back cover is plastic, it's just going inside a case anyway.
Yeesh I hope not.
I hope everything just becomes brushed aluminum ffs. I hate all these glass back phones
Phones only have glass backs to let wireless charging work so I don’t see aluminium making a come back any time soon.
I hate wireless charging too, though. It's inherently less efficient than wired, and you have less range of motion while charging. With a wire, I can still use my phone while it's plugged in. Wireless charging needs to go away imo.
I interested in how your hate for wireless charging has anything to do with this thread?
We've had wireless charging in every single material back and it's absolutely wonderful QOL improvement.
It can't be done through metal backs, for what it's worth.
