Samsung Galaxy Tabs were returned mostly because of issues, not due to confusion with iPad

It's whatever Apple chooses to use. If Apple uses plastic on the next iPhone, suddenly plastic will be a premium material.

HTC uses polycarbonate which is a type of plastic. Actually the same as the. S3. They both break just as easily. S3 just has a different type of cover

I have the One X which is indeed made of polycarbonate, but it is a one piece design (with no cover) and possibly thicker than what is on the SG3. Do you have a link you could share that points out the weak nature of the polycarbonate used in the htc One X?

The GS3s crack around the bezel. Which is plastic that is painted and brushed to look like aluminum.

umm how bout aluminum? thats not a hard question, HTC uses it and so does motorola, even crappy blackberry uses Aluminum and copper.

Theres nothing really wrong with plastic, but there are different kinds of plastics, hence the number code on the recycle logo.

I know, I was just asking for gallitoking to mention some "premium" materials.

"...but there are different kinds of plastics, hence the number code on the recycle logo."

If I'm not wrong, number on the recycle logo doesn't provide any information about a plastics kind, number just shows how many times plastic was recycled.

I agree that I was wrong, but anyway, we don't need to know these numbers because we already know that it is Polycarbonate (PC) and I beleve there should be a number 7.

Haha its hilarious that both you and I get thumbs down for pointing out faults. Their phones are cheap plastic! My wifes HTC Thunderbolt has been thrown by our 1 year old countless times and there's nothing more than a small dent! On the last Samsung I had, I babied it, and there were larger dents and cracks!

66. iamcc posted on 07 Aug 2012, 14:00 1

That is your experience.

The whole reason I bought my Galaxy Nexus on launch day is because my Thunderbolt fell out of my lap while I was sitting down in a chair and the entire screen shattered.

It fell a total of MAYBE 2ft onto a tile floor and was done for.

My Nexus on the other hand? Has been dropped several times now on anything from carpet to concrete (including tile) and not only is the screen not broken but the "cheap plastic" doesn't have any dents.

Just because it's plastic doesn't make it cheap and just because it's metal doesn't make it premium.

i can back that up with my lg optimus black, dropped from above my head onto wood floors and not a scratch, on concrete a small dent on the side but that was it, no screen in a million pieces like a dropped iphone 4

Taco and gallito bring too many page views to PhoneArena for them to be banned permanently.

78. doublehammer posted on 07 Aug 2012, 16:04 0

85. gallitoking posted on 07 Aug 2012, 17:51 3

we still need itaco50 and igallitoking in Phonearena, they are spices here ;-P same with apple, it still needs Samsung. If they end up with Samsung, they are dooomed forever... Samsung has done a lot of things that contribute to the advancement of mobile technology. Apple will be in the first line again if samsung has something new...

BTW igallitoking i saw your photos in faceboook before, it seems that your a nice person but why is it your aggresively defending your beloved apple? Commentators here in PA thinks your a _____. Does apple really cares for you? Steve jobs said before apple don't make any research or surveys so defending apple just don't make any sense. You get what I mean???

thanks man.. I honestly think everyone here is a nice person.. remixfa I fight with him here but we used to play Wordfeud with him.. I defend Apple because I don't agree on why people insist on bashing a company every chance they get.. I mean every Apple article is full of haters.. they get emotional, why.. just like I don't get anything defending neither do they by bashing Apple..

Don't flatter yourself...you'll find iFans creeping an Android article just as frequently. If there weren't debates and opinions flying around all the time, it would make reading these articles somewhat boring. A lot of the time we learn more from reading others comments than from the article itself.

leggy ? please learn a proper english.

the lag was caused by android honeycomb. look at gtab 10.1 running Cm10 and then please try to say those words again.

besides if you think about iOS, it's a bunch of icon with a static wallpaper, of course there won't be any lag

the asus transformer feels snappier than gtab10.1 , the xoom to
go try them at a store , side by side
