Just about every article around has been giving the upcoming
Samsung Galaxy S III generally good reviews except for one downside: the
casing. Everyone, including us, were convinced that the Galaxy S III was using
a plastic case, but we just got word from Samsung that the phone is better than
you think. There had been some confusion over the Samsung Galaxy S III casing,
but the word straight from Samsung is that the case is in fact made of
polycarbonate, not just regular plastic.
The word that we got straight from Samsung was that the
Galaxy S III casing is in fact polycarbonate, but we wanted to make sure that
mean the entire case, including the battery cover, and it took a bit of time
for the confirmation to come back, but here it is direct from Samsung:
Polycarbonate is used
on the battery cover. Polycarbonate is lightweight, solid and is already being
widely used in the mobile industry. It was chosen as the best material to
represent the minimal organic design of GALAXY S III. Using three layers of
high quality, pure and clear polycarbonate, not only is the phone’s aesthetic
elevated, but the durability and scratch resistance is maximized.
This is a pretty big deal because once you get past the
flowery marketing language given by Samsung, the basic fact is that the case is
polycarbonate and not plastic.
