Feels finally like a high quality device. Feels like a Samsung phone from the touch and feel. They did a great job. I like the frosted glass.

Excellent feeling build. The 2 XL was nice, but the 3 XL takes it to a new level. The glass melts into the polished metal frame. The glass back is smooth with almost a rubbery type feel in the etched area, a more comforting feel than a normal glass back.

Until you scratch it. That glass scratches like butter.

Bull****. It is Gorilla Glass. People just don't understand the difference between scratch and material transfer. What you see in some of the pictures is material transfer from the object that is supposed to scratch the glass. This is probably pronounced because of the rough surface.

Well it's not iPhone XS Max build quality but it's a damn nice phone. Better than anything Samsung has to offer right now in my opinion. And samsung seems to be kind of hardware for Android at the moment

This is way better than the 2xl. In every sense it's more premium, the display seems much more up to par with other devices, and it's ultra fast.

THIS... Take a little soap and water to it... wash it off.
