Smartphones come in a variety of materials these days. Metal, plastic, ceramic, and glass bodies all have their own pros and cons. When a canceled Surface Duo appeared online, one thing that stuck out was the device’s plastic body. The foldable phone featured a plastic exterior, presumably put in place to reduce the device’s cost.
