Oh, how things have changed since our poll more than two years ago asking you whether you are more interested in phones with premium build, rather than a plastic chassis. Samsung has been lambasted for its plastic $600+ flagships for so long, that all of a sudden it changed course late in 2014 with the start of the metal Galaxy A-series, then came the metal-and-glass Galaxy S6, and it seems that most every maker since followed suit.
That is why we wanted to ask you today whether you think that metal is slowly turning into the new plastic. Granted, it is harder, feels more solid, and ia sometimes shiny, but if everyone and their low-enders employ it, can we really call it a "premium" design anymore? Tell us your opinion in the poll below, and pile on in the comments.
