I'm sorry, but I just have to rant and vent. I am becomingly increasingly disgusted at just how stupid and airhead grown men and women are becoming over smartphones. To me, smartphones are becoming something like followers of Justin Bieber. A teeny bopper performer for an immature audience.
One thing in particular has set me off and highlighted the utter stupidity of all of this. The plastic dimpled backing of the new Samsung Galaxy S5. The amount of ******** and whining by a bunch of children in adult bodies is unbelievable. People lamenting and complaining about how they don't like the look of the "bandaid" backing, and complaining like no tomorrow over the plastic material. Tell me something, have you all forgotten this is after all just a damn phone?!! This is not your house, where you live in. The amount of scrutiny over the back plate on a telephone is like people scrutinising a home. Living space, decor, amenities etc. This is just a damn communications device that either is in your pocket or resting on a table, desk etc. You almost never see the damn back anyway. And heaps of people put the damn device in a cover anyway. These same people are then carrying on and on and on about the uber finish of the HTC M8. Who cares? When you use the phone, the brushed aluminium is hidden by your palm, and you never see it as I said before. Furthermore, good luck when you inevitably scratch that mini fridge door finish. You can't replace the back and you can't just polish out a scratch because of the brushed finish.
Again people, we are not dealing with fit and finish of a house where you live. But a stupid phone.
But what has really upset me over all of this is credit is not being given credit where credit is due. I for one really applaud Samsung for giving people a flagship phone that you can replace easily the backplate if it gets damaged and the battery when it no longer performs optimally. People are just becoming so dumb and teenage like over smartphones they don't recognise a good thing when they see it. Instead of being grateful for these 2 really useful features that no other manufacturer is offering, they are getting bashed. Because the decor of the backing of this phone is just not up to their high expectations.
I don't mind people griping about cosmetic things that are genuine. For eg, griping about say a high gloss backing that is easily scratched or damaged. Or ports that are difficult to open. But some overgrown children saying that a plastic dimpled backing for them is a dealbreaker shows me the sad state of affairs of the current smartphone industry.
I swear I feel like smartphones are being marketed to young teenagers with the ever increasing focus of gimmicky features. And the ever increasing PPI. Honestly, there is no need for "quad HD" displays. If you are not happy with 400-450 PPI on a phone display, then you are just an overgrown child. I don't mind larger screens for web browsing and gaming, I love the ever increasing camera capabilites, I don't mind the increasing processing power which is useful for games, multitasking apps etc.
But getting back on track with my original sentiments. If you personally don't like the plastic backing of the Galaxy S5, that is one thing. But are you such children that you will complain and stomp your feet? Be at least an adult that sees the huge advantage of being able to cheaply replace the backing and battery instead of spoilt children.
Rant over.
