Samsung plastic design

We'd like to share the different perspectives on how we should look at Samsung's use of plastic on their high-end phones. But, why are people complaining about Samsung's use of plastic? The predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S2, featured less plastic in its body and the Galaxy S3 was often compared to it for not having lived up to its design standards. So why didn't Samsung stick with the design schemes they used on phones like the Galaxy S2 and the Galaxy Nexus? Let's not forget Samsung doesn't do plastic on all their phones; Wave, Omnia and other lines utilized different materials. So if it's not all about the material and it's not all about the glossy cheap feel, then what angers mobile fans from Samsung's use of plastic on their Galaxy phones? Samsung has heavily invested in the design language they are using now for the Galaxy and it's trying to be iconic. Samsung will most likely continue on this design pattern for years to come with only a little improvements along the way.
