Once the most classic Huawei mobile phone, was exposed to cancel?
At the beginning, let's ask everyone, what is the material of the mobile phone and back cover in your hand?
The Huawei P60 series released in March this year has a "Rococo white" color scheme.
The original condensation mother-of-pearl process makes each mobile phone present a different pattern.
This design is really amazing.
But it is estimated that some friends have found out, why didn't Huawei play plain skin this time?
Recently, a blogger exposed a photo of the engineering machine of Huawei P60 Pro.
It turns out that roar, this generation of P series was originally a vegetarian version.
Moreover, it is a splicing plain skin that compares design skills.

On the left is a relatively fine gray plain skin, and on the right is a melanin skin with a more obvious texture.
There is a saying, if you polish more, it is estimated that the texture is still in place.
But why he gave up this plain skin in the end is unknown.
But then again, it is Huawei that really carries forward the plain leather material.
Plain leather material
At that time, the Supi on the Mate 30 debuted, and I only had one thought in my mind:
"This thing has to be expensive, right?"
After all, the leather back cover before this was only used on some relatively expensive mobile phones.
For example, Vertu, 8848, which specialize in high-end design.
Of course, there are leather back covers that are closer to the consumption level of our ordinary people, such as Moto X.
But the leather cover of the Moto X has to be customized for 100 yuan.
So when this plain leather material first came out, it gave the impression of being quite advanced.
Later, many manufacturers followed up with the back cover made of plain leather.
For example, the Xiaomi Mi 11.
And the OPPO Find X2 Pro and more.
But the early plain skin back cover, there are really many slots.
Let's not mention that vegetarian leather is essentially a layer of polyurethane synthetic leather on the surface, which is two things with traditional genuine leather.
But in terms of durability alone, early plain leather is much more delicate than other materials.
Not resistant to scratches, no high temperature, afraid of chemicals, dyeing, sun exposure, and even alcohol.
The most serious cases of peeling off the skin must be counted.

Don't get me wrong, it's not about Huawei here...
Most manufacturers' vegetarian models have users who have reported similar situations.

Of course, as long as most people use the machine normally, they will not have such outrageous peeling.
And now mobile phone manufacturers have also improved the problem of fragile vegetarian skin.
For example, choose a better quality vegetarian skin, or add various membranes to make the vegetarian skin more durable.
Like the "technology nanoskin" on the Xiaomi 13 series.
Even if you apply the paint directly, you can wipe it clean with a few hard strokes with a paper towel.
Glass material
In addition to plain skin, the current mainstream back cover material also has a glass back cover.
Compared with Supi, you can only change colors and play with splicing, and the pattern of the glass back cover is more.
The first glass had to count the iPhone 4 of that year.
Revolutionary front and rear double-sided glass, truly hin delicate.
After that, many manufacturers began to try to work on glass.
Like the earliest ones, play with the coating process directly on the glass.
Bling bling's gradient color was quite fresh at the time.
But over time, users began to stop catching a cold.
In order to make gradient colors better rendered, most of these machines use glossy glass.
Easy to get dirty, fingerprinted, and greasy.
In order to solve this problem, through the etching process, the glass is made into AG glass with a frosted feel.
Although AG glass is now being done by everyone.
But to play this thing magically, it has to be Oga .
Like the silk glass craft of OnePlus.
Crystal diamond process on the OPPO Reno series, star diamond process.
In the design of AG glass, the green factory really has enough careful thinking.
Of course, there are processes such as photochromic and electrochromic coloration, which are also counted in the glass material, so they will not be counted one by one.
Although the two mainstream materials of plain leather and glass have their own merits, in the past two years, many manufacturers have only made vegetarian leather on their flagships.
This makes many friends who don't like vegetarian skin feel very headache.
However, the good news is that in the second half of the year, more and more flagships began to abandon the vegan strategy.
Instead, take the route of both materials.
The little partner who is not cold to the plain leather material can finally change the machine spicy now.
Plastics and metals that are no longer mainstream
Before glass and plain leather became the mainstream back cover, plastic and metal were actually the choice of more manufacturers.
One thing is said that both materials are more durable than glass and plain leather.
After all, there used to be much more news about "mobile phones blocking bullets" than now (just kidding).

But there are still many problems with plastics and metals.
At that time, Nokia and Samsung, playing plastic back cover that called a 6.
The former is engaged in one-piece polycarbonate, and the appearance is still in place.
The latter simulates metal brushed and leather textures on plastic, and you won't find it to be plastic if you don't touch it.
Samsung Galaxy J
But plastic is ultimately difficult to make texture (unless it costs a lot of money to design).
Soon metal replaced the "supremacy" of plastic.
With its thin, light and textured characteristics, aluminum alloy material has achieved many classic models.
Like HTC One, iPhone 5, etc.
The fruit even broke through technical problems and made a glossy metal on the iPhone 7.
But unfortunately, as Lei Jun said, the metal back cover not only affects the signal, but also does not easily achieve various color effects.
Coupled with new technologies such as NFC and wireless charging, they will be limited by the metal body.
Metal is also gradually being abandoned by mobile phone manufacturers.
Of course, there are also ceramics that feel first-class heat dissipation, but are full of weight;
A sufficiently unique bamboo back cover;
Aramid fiber back covers with high strength, wear resistance and light weight, etc.
Most of these relatively niche materials are difficult to be widely used by manufacturers because of their high cost.
Although I don't know if there will be other materials to replace the current status of glass and plain leather.
But I still look forward to domestic manufacturers continuing to do more flower work.
Which material do you prefer?
