There are no reports showing that smartphones with polycarbonate cover have call drops or similar issue. On the other hand, metal smartphones can\u00a0encounter such problems because metal is a magnetic material.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secondly, plastic smartphones come with low price!\u00a0<\/strong>It can&#8217;t be denied that plastic are much cheaper than metal or glass. Plastic are easier to shape, to produce and to recycle\u00a0in large scale! Plastic is the top choice for OEMs who wanna produce budget smartphones. Because they don&#8217;t have to pay much money for the material, they can focus more on the features under the hood! At this point, you may jump to the conclusion that plastic smartphones are the perfect choice.
