Well my note 3 has a tempered glass back, metal, carbon fiber and leather battery doors. I guess I ll take the removable plastic back any day.

carbon fiber? have u even held carbon fiber and know what it is and how it feel like? idiots! just saying material name without knowing a single thing about it. IDIOTS.

AND white/silver, gold and black.... remind you of three colors released for the 5s? I personally find this hilarious.

Do you want to mean that Apple started making black and white phones ?

85. JoeDirt (Posts: 48; Member since: 19 Oct 2013)

I'm saying the silver, gold and black lineup look hilariously like the three colors Apple rolled out with the 5s. I respect and applaud Sammy for a lot of what they do, but sometimes they try too hard to emulate Apple.

actually, what do you know about the advantages of metal made phones against the plastic made ones?? metal made phones heats up worst than the plastic ones because metal is a good conductor of heat!, and by the way, plastic phones of much lighter so it would take less impact when you dropped it compared to metal ones(because it is heavier). plastic material is to reduce the weight, to make an accurate sensor, if they use metal and for an instance you want to know what is the temperature, the result may vary because of the metal body that is good conductor of heat. if samsung make the note 3 or other phones a metal material. the NFC and the air gesture might malfunction because of the metal body! so shut up and do something productivity in your life!

It's the s5 and there is no news about the s4 neo so let us just hope that it is the s5

Plastic = less expencive, thinner, lighter (think of falls), not so permanent markings, more flexible, removable backs/batteries, less signal interference, more ways to the finish approach.

also plastic does not shatter like glass and is better for environment compare to metal.
i am sick of schoolboys and schoolgirls and ish@@p shouting for metal and glass when plastic is superior to metal and glass.

want your phone to look and feel good? use a high end case like i am currently using a slim armour case from spigen on my note 3 in ocean blue.

101. HossamKayed99 (Posts: 3; Member since: 23 Feb 2014)

I think plastic is the best because the battery will be removable and the removable battery is better than me the non removable one

If this is S5 then not much change in design... just looking little more flatter than s4...

Don't really care, metal is overrated, the plastic makes sure good signal reception and transmission. Good to know they still make phones for practicality and not just as faux jewellery.

I would like a metal chassi or ring atleast since the plastic ring easily takes damage and is not as changeable as the back. but overall i don't have problem with the plastic and its nice to be able to change back for a cheap price to :p

Specs > looks

32. Astoni (Posts: 649; Member since: 28 Sep 2013)

you know that build quality is kinda in with the specs :p
Since a sturdy phone that dosen't get blemishes or scratches is a little nice than have to send it to repair :p.

Your phone will be a case anyway so what does it matter?

fanboy love everything from Samsung ..even if it was a Polystyrene S5 they will buy it .. XD

That would be super light! I like it.

With an Otterbox case, metal won't be missed. Besides, the case preserves the sale value when it is time to upgrade to the new toy.

25. Astoni (Posts: 649; Member since: 28 Sep 2013)

what sale value xD, all most android phones drop almost 50% in a year.. not including HTC, since they seem to have a higher resale value :p

One year after the Note 2 dropped on VZW, a 'mint' edition was valued at $280 on Gazelle. A 'good' edition was priced around $200 if memory serves. The Otterbox case cost me $40, so I was $40 ahead of the value of the Note 2 had I passed on the Otterbox.
