The development of smart phones is changing day by day, various brands of cell phones continue to introduce new, increasingly powerful features, face value is also increasingly high, to say which is the strongest cell phone face value? From the front, it's a bit like the Miss Korea pageant, it's really hard to distinguish between them.

Let's take a look at the back, look at the back cover of the phone, talk about the back cover of the phone material yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Plastic

In the early days, the most common cell phone back cover, is made of plastic, this material is inexpensive, malleable, low technical difficulties, favored by various cell phone manufacturers. In order to tear off those "low-end", "cheap" label on the plastic, good at "messing with the machine" manufacturers to make a variety of attempts. Among them, polycarbonate ((Polycarbonate, PC)), with excellent transparency, high impact strength at room temperature, high temperature resistance and high rigidity characteristics, the most widely used. Polycarbonate can enhance the texture at the same time, but also through the surface treatment to achieve a different sense of touch, Samsung and Nokia are its loyal fans.
