Mobile phones with a glossy back cover
Glossy
— glossy surfaces are the ones which are very smooth and have a signature sheen. Such a surface can have a cover made of almost any material (see the corresponding list), with the exception of rubber; however, gloss is most popular in glass and plastic panels.The main advantage of glossy panels is stylish and eye-catching appearance — it is achieved both due to gloss and due to the fact that many colours (red, yellow, blue, etc.) look especially bright in combination with such surfaces. On the other hand, fingerprints and other dirt are very noticeable on such panels, and they are also the most prone to slipping out of hands.
Note that some devices from this category are also available in versions with a matte back panel (see the relevant paragraph).
