I’m convinced that they make cell phones slippery on purpose. They either get to sell more accessories like cases, or they get to sell you another phone when you inevitably drop and break it.
Taking into account manufacturers somehow decided that glass, a very fragile material ESPECIALLY when thin, should be the ✨premium✨ material and all decent phones NEED to be wrapped in it…
Maybe there’s some truth to that lmao
Well, what’s the alternative? Metal won’t work because wireless charging is expected for most phones. Leaves glass and plastic, which are both found on premium phones. Glass more so because it feels and looks nicer than plastic and doesn’t scratch as easily, but you can still get premium phones with plastic backs.

It’s not an impossible problem to solve, Qi just doesn’t care. Qualcomm solved it with their wireless charging standard 10 years ago

I don’t think I’ve seen a “premium” phone with a plastic back in a LONG time

There’s a wide range of plastics, it gets a bad rap because of the cheap shit that’s often used, but there’s absolutely a “high end” plastic side of the scale that can beat glass and not nearly as fragile
