Unibody smartphones: the drawbacks

First up, because they come with a unibody construction, the battery are NOT removable! So if there’s any problem with the battery or the battery is dead after long time use, there’s no way you could replace it with a new battery. In that case, the only thing you could do is to buy a brand-new smartphone! That also happens when there are some hardware problem.

Another bad thing that goes with unibody smartphones is that they often cost higher. This is easy to understand. It takes more effort to produce a unibody smartphones. Moreover, such smartphones are a big trend right now. And we already know that everything trendy is often more expensive than ordinary things! At this point, you may think why unibody smartphones are so popular while they feature such bad things?

Unibody smartphones: the good things

Well, we can’t deny that smartphones with unibody look more beautiful. I personally want my phone to have a seamless case. And I’m not the only one for sure! Unibody smartphones often come with a more luxurious and premium appearance, not to mention that the majority of them are metal! That is the reason why people tend to opt for a smartphone with unibody construction.

Another good feature we can have from unibody smartphones is the waterproof function! Obviously you cannot ask for that function from a non-smartphone! This function will save you a lot of money to repair your phone when you accidentally drop it into the water. So I would rather pay some extra money for that protection instead of spending that money on preparing my water damaged phone.
