The Samsung Galaxy S4 will keep its plastic casing

Galaxy S4 arrival notice

Many have been the leaks that have occurred to date regarding the Samsung Galaxy S4 -and those that remain- but today there is news that is not exactly a rumor and that confirms that the material with which this new phone will be manufactured is plastic. Therefore, speculations on the use of aluminum are not true.

This is what is understood in a statement by the company's executive vice president YH Lee in which it comes to defend the use of this material against others considered more "premium", such as polycarbonate or glass. As indicated in Talk Android, one of the most important reasons in the choice is the ease of manufacture, even in large quantities. In this, the manager is not lacking reason, everything must be said but it is true that the use of plastic is not differentiating today.

Other reasons that come into play

According to Lee himself, a good quality plastic offers very good durability and impact resistance, as has been seen in previous models, so there is no reason to vary this on the Samsung Galaxy S4. Of course, with an improvement of this to offer the best that can be found.

This could also mean that, as expected, the device's battery is interchangeable ... so plastic is a more suitable choice for manipulation, since aluminum and glass suffer excessively with continued or aggressive manipulations ... as has been seen in other devices (even, with problems not to have problems between small impacts).

In short, if there was any doubt regarding the manufacturing material of the Samsung Galaxy S4 ... there is no more, and plastic is the choice. It is true that, as we have said, it is not exactly a differentiating element ... but its efficiency has been proven in previous terminals. What do you think of this days after the presentation of the phone?
