Do you miss phones with replaceable batteries? By 2027, you won't anymore because, by law, almost every smartphone will have them again.

I have that device. It's definitely a thick boi but in no way does it not feel "not premium". I vastly prefer the grippy texturized back cover and sides to slippery glass/aluminium. It's one of the few devices that feels great in had without a case.

Premium means different things to different people. Plastic is never premium.

Does it really even matter though? Vast majority of people are going to put it in a plastic case anyways.
