@@tannerboy1991 well the main two things are the screen and the battery. S7 is known to have the most fragile screen and cracking it is way easier than any other phone like s8/9 or note8/9. After a month, the battery still holds up as it did when I unboxed it (haven't had the same results with my S7). If ure considering an upgrade, look into s9+ o wait for *S10*. I love the spen as a gimmic more, for me it's useful only when taking sceenshots. The main Note's thing is the screen. It's wider

How to make a phone perfect in 2018: Make the back nearly any material other than glass.

[@serdarcs3373]

Why? Its less durable but it allows for nfc, wireless charging, etc. But take a look at pocophone f1

[@StopChangingUsernamesYouTube]

Plastic also allows all those features. Polycarbonate is extremely durable, looks nice on a showroom, and yields instead of cracking/shattering. Personally, I think aluminium is a terrible choice for a phone body, aside from being a good heat conductor. The second you whoops a phone onto a hard surface, it'll transfer a large chunk of that kinetic energy right into the glass, instead of temporarily deforming and rebounding. With glass, you get something that looks nice on the showroom, terrible after your fingers so much as look at it because no one thinks to put an oleophobic coating on the stuff on the back, and it either looks like it got shot on the first drop, or you put it in a case and negate its sole benefit: aesthetics.
