Wireless charging functions better on plastic made smartphones
For Metal
Advantages One of the primary reasons for smartphone vendors to consider metal as a casing is the fact that it adds to the aesthetics of the device giving it a premium touch. Also, the ductile nature of metal allows them to experiment with the design which eventually helps their devices to stand out in the crowd. Furthermore, metal is a good heat dissipator. In comparison to its plastic counterparts, a metal smartphone can disperse more heat generated by the processor and internals of the device. Also, a metal casing offers better protection to the internal components in comparison to the polycarbonate ones.

Disadvantages One of the biggest problems of metal smartphones also happens to be its advantage. Yes, that's right! A metal smartphone, while dissipating heat quickly, tends to get extremely hot owing to the overheating processors. While not many people may care about it, the terribly looking antenna lines on an otherwise clean design may be a problem for some. How is the metal build related to this, you may ask? Well, metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, but also act as great shielding agents against radiation due to the dense molecular construction. So, in order to improve the network reception, the antenna lines have to be placed on the outer side of the smartphone. Also, on metal build smartphones, scratches and dents are clearly visible, unlike their plastic counterparts.

BUT THE MOST IMPOTANT IS THE SPECIFICATION....

plastic > glass > metal

I really don't care about metallic phones because I always use soft plastic cases on all my phones.

Human beings!! Everybody, ok almost everybody was complaining about plastic phones like 2 yrs ago or so, saying it looked cheap and all that. Now, there's a transition to metal and Glass phones, everybody prefers plastic yet again.
