for now....you wait for your turn lmao.....

I suspect that happens only when you apply too much pressure in your pocket (eg sitting, squatting etc)

That's the plastic protector that comes on new phones to protect the bezels. Look closely.

Replacement device? For that? Come on, man.

AFAIK is that the Xperia x1 the crack will apear after 6 months of usage?

no nob head. the issue has nothing to do with dropping the phone or mis treating it, this is the most expensive electronic device I have ever purchased so I do look after it! it is either the material composition used in certain batches or a plain manufacturing defect. I have not dropped mine and have cracks thru microphone and ir blaster.

lg g3 not made from polycarbonate?

35. Takeharu (Posts: 275; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)

Polycarbonate is basically just a fancy name for plastic...

nope, polycarbonate is not a fancy name for plastic, but you could consider it one of the fanciest : it has excellent mecanical properties, low weight, excellent thermal stability and a great impact resistance. it's the same material used to build poilce riot shield and tonfa and it's used in bulletproof glass

But... But... It has thin bezels!

Jokes aside i remember the Galaxy S3 having an even bigger problem with cracks developing on the trim around the screen, and it was quite widespread even store demo units had them where i live.

Nexus 5 build quality is awesome, and it's made by LG. So not all LG phones are cheap trash with terrible build quality...

Nexus who?

26. vincelongman (Posts: 5534; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)

But that's the bottom of the phone, so the bezel there is the same as many other phones
It's just LG's poor design or poor build materials/process

Most phone drops, are on the frame/sides.
