If there’s anything I learned this year from reading a bunch of phone reviews and also reviewing my fair share of phones, it’s that it’s no longer necessary to go on and on about how a phone looks or gush about its “premium” metal unibody. Look, I get it, gadget geeks love sleek metal gadgets (and most tech reviewers are geeks at heart) so we want to drop hundreds of words raving about them. But this isn’t 2013, when a tightly-constructed metal unibody device was still a rarity in the Android world. In 2016, EVERY FREAKING PHONE has a metal unibody, and they’re all well-built. Every review out on the web raved about the HTC 10’s build — and it is awesome — but you know what other phones have the same build quality and feel in hand? Chinese phones that cost half as much. Every phone feels the same now. I don’t care if it’s the latest US$700 iPhones and Samsungs, or $500 LGs, or $300 Chinese phones, they are all superbly-crafted metal devices that feel very sturdy and solid in the hand.
