Among many metallic elements, Aluminum is the most common one. Of course, there are some reasons why metal is used. It is true that smartphones with metallic body create\u00a0a very solid and premium\u00a0feeling. In addition, metal is good at conducting heat. Therefore, heat created by the\u00a0processor will be emitted quickly. However, this characteristic of metal is also a drawback. Explaining this, the phone might be hot for users to hold after a long time of using.<\/p>\n<p>Besides metal, recently, some smartphones manufacturers have equipped their products with Corning Gorilla Glass. Glass comes with premium feeling. And it is quite easy to clean. Corning\u2019s Gorilla Glass is\u00a0used to protect the display from scratch and endure the mechanical shake. However, glass is fragile. Not only that, the display will be blurred by fingerprint or sweat. And glass is not as malleable as metal.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Samsung-Galaxy-A9_1.webp 960w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Samsung-Galaxy-A9_1-300x169.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Samsung-Galaxy-A9_1-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Samsung-Galaxy-A9_1.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Samsung-Galaxy-A9_1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Samsung-Galaxy-A9_1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Samsung-Galaxy-A9_1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-30723 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Samsung-Galaxy-A9_1\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>Plastic is the first material used in smartphone design. One big advantage of plastic is the quite low cost. However, there are still some cons of plastic smartphone design.\u00a0In contrast to metal, plastic is not good at conducting heat. Therefore, it holds the heat inside which made the\u00a0processor and other features easily broken. In addition,\u00a0a smartphone\u00a0with plastic body somehow renders a non-premium feeling. That&#8217;s why there are many smartphone companies has shifted from plastic to glass and metal. However, there are still some smartphones comes in plastic design. For example LG G4 or Samsung Galaxy Note 4.<\/p>\n<h3>Smartphone design: a combination of many aspects<\/h3>\n<p>With three most common materials, which are metal, glass or plastic, smartphone makers can solely use one kind of material or combine them.
