What's wrong with plastic other than marketing people telling you it isn't 'premium?' If you want to talk about shitty build quality, how about modern phones that are completely encased in fragile glass and must be kept in a case? I rocked my plastic/aluminum Note 4 for 5 years without a case. I still own it, in fact, 8 years later and it still works great because it's made out of durable materials just like the S5 that I owned before it was.
Don't forget, the Note4 even had a fairly easy to replace aluminum outer frame/bumper.
I rock my glass iPhone with no case and it’s held up to several drops with no cracks
Unless you possess the powers of alchemy, it'll never be stronger than the more durable and premium plastic and metal constructed phones.
I'm sure that you're an expert on materials like this
Using a logical fallacy doesn't make your opinion any more valid and it doesn't take an expert to know that glass is more fragile than the plastic and aluminum materials used previously.
