“Dang, I really like how the OnePlus Nord 4 had a metal back design. Shame they gonna change it with the Nord 5. In a sea of glass or plastic backs, it was refreshing to see metal phones that was popular back in 2016.”

Heating was a big issue for the Nord 4, due to its metal frame. Plastic is better for heat management.
