Samsung to improve build quality due to growing competition

Said to be worried by the build quality of direct rival, the HTC One, Samsung is reportedly putting more effort into sourcing and incorporating premium materials into its upcoming phablet, the Note III.

While Apple, Sony and now HTC all turn to aluminium and quality alloys when building the casings for their flagship phones, up until now, Samsung has used comparatively cheap-feeling polycarbonates to build its phone casings.
