Samsung Galaxy S5 to Feature Metal Body

Samsung is reportedly in discussions with suppliers of metal cases, leading credence to the rumor that the next line of Galaxy devices will have metal enclosures instead of plastic.

Samsung is known for plastic phones and tablets but it appears that it will introduce significant design changes in its upcoming devices.  Apple’s devices like the iPhone and iPad feature metal enclosure and some Android devices like the HTC One also use metal enclosures.  These devices are favored by some over the plastic devices from Samsung.  The popularity of Apple devices is probably one of the reasons Samsung is finally using metal enclosures for its Galaxy devices.
