The $1,200 Galaxy Z Flip 8 has a plastic back

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGTGAkNOjCU TL;DR Samsung has quietly confirmed that it’s using a plastic back on the $1,200 Galaxy Z Flip 8. The company says this is a “Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer” and has previously been used on the Galaxy Z TriFold. Plastic is seen as a less premium material than glass and is more prone to scratches, but it’s also lighter and more drop-resistant.
