    Frankly, if people are shelling out for higher end phones that break that easily, that’s at least partly on them.

    Like, I’ve been buying mid-tier Androids for about 10 years now, and I can’t recall the last time I’ve had one shatter, and I’m clumsy as all hell. I’ve accidentally punted this thing across the office once, not a scratch. And as I’m so routinely told by the iPhone and more elitist Android spaces, this thing is supposedly a cheap plastic piece of shit.

    It’s so weird they settle for something more expensive but also more breakable. Makes sense if you’re buying glass wear or something, I guess, but a device you keep in your pocket or hand all day? Shouldn’t it be nigh indestructible at that price point?

      True, I’ve been using the same mid-tier Samsung for 5 years now. It looks a bit rough but it still works just fine and I’ll continue to use it until it breaks
