OnePlus Technology announced that the price of the bamboo version of the OnePlus mobile phone has increased by 100 yuan and will no longer be sold separately. OnePlus mobile phones initially attracted the attention of many users with their special mobile phone back shells. Many mobile phones released in China this year have made a fuss about the material of the mobile phone, and professional terms such as "austenitic stainless steel" have also appeared frequently. In today's homogeneous mobile phones, unique mobile phone shells can indeed add a lot of color to the mobile phone, but some "magical" mobile phone shells are also unacceptable to users.

In April this year, a mobile phone named "OnePlus" was launched. What attracted people was not the background of the founder, but the bamboo material of the back cover of the phone. When the phone was first launched, OnePlus Technology carried out large-scale publicity for the bamboo version, and deliberately held the press conference on the same day as Xiaomi to highlight the personalized texture. According to the official statement, users' popularity of the bamboo version exceeded expectations, but due to the problem of craftsmanship, the yield rate was reduced, and the bamboo back cover was no longer sold separately.

Although Samsung phones are the most powerful in the Android world, users are not satisfied with the appearance design of Samsung phones.

Many media and users complained about the unchanging phone cases, and the plastic material easily left fingerprints and oil stains. Some users also complained that they bought high-end Samsung phones, but the appearance always looked cheap and "toxic".

The media directly complained that the plastic body is "cheap kitchen utensils". Samsung added glass fiber to the plastic material of the new S5 mobile phone to make a "rich gold" color. Users also saw its efforts and joked that "Samsung tried hard to

"We can make plastic look like metal."

Although users always dislike Samsung's plastic material, Nokia Lumia proves that there is nothing wrong with the material. The key is to look at how to design it. The Lumia series chooses carbonated polyester, taking advantage of the flexibility of this material molding, and provides a variety of colors for users to choose from. Many users say that it feels good and the multi-color is very attractive.

Do you remember the classic iPhone 4 from the Steve Jobs era? At the launch event, Apple said that the front and back of the iPhone 4 were made of special glass, which was 30 times harder than plastic. However, according to media reports, a tech blog editor found scratches on the back of the iPhone 4. It is rumored that third-party phone cases are the cause of the cracked glass shell of the iPhone 4.

As a successful marketing representative, Xiaomi 4 uses the professional term "austenitic 304 stainless steel" as a selling point. Although it sounds like a high-end professional term, we often come into contact with it in our daily lives. Such an ordinary material is packaged as a high-tech material by "the artistic journey of a piece of steel plate". Many users feel bored after knowing the true face of austenite, and complain that it is as boring as "a top student studying materials shows off professional terms to ordinary people".

When Xiaomi was popularizing "austenitic 304 stainless steel", Meizu said that it had played with "austenitic" a few years ago. This year, Meizu also launched a new model, which uses aviation aluminum alloy, the same material as the iPhone 5s. In the invitation letter before the press conference, Meizu used aviation magnesium aluminum alloy, the same material as the body. Compared with the previous generation of mobile phones, many users who have experienced the real machine said that it feels better and is lighter.

Many manufacturers have chosen leather back covers for their phones, which are both visually and tactilely stylish. Whether it is a thousand-yuan smartphone from a domestic mobile phone manufacturer or a high-end model produced by international manufacturers such as Samsung, Motorola, and BlackBerry, leather back covers can be seen. Leather usually gives people a high-end and atmospheric feeling, especially the handbag leather mobile phone that BlackBerry once customized with Porsche, which embodies the luxury of the mobile phone to the extreme.

Motorola launched a customized version of Moto X in August last year. The wooden back cover of the phone is very attractive, not only because of the special material, but also because the phone can be highly customized. Not only can you choose a variety of colors, but you can also choose materials including teak, ebony, and rosewood. I wonder if users who customize this phone will be confused about whether they are buying a phone or furniture?
