The only way to explain it's faster could be because the case was making the phone overheat. The chipset is made to protect itself by lowering the clockspeed (calculations per second) to avoid damage by heat resulting in being slower at performing tasks.
So maybe the case was isolating the phone so much it overheated constantly and after removing the case it could breath again and keep its original speed.
If you had a chunky case then maybe a sleeker design could offer enough cooling and still some protection. Best of both worlds :)
So this summer it was like 30°C / 85°F at home and whenever I used TikTok or YouTube on my phone it would get really hot so I took off the case whenever I used it. My phone fell down one time (I'm not used to it being so slick!) and that's why it's now broken. In the back. Because for some stupid reason it's made of glass or something.
Note to myself: my next phone should be one of these unbreakable military grade phones.
Your first mistake was using tiktok.
Lol, kinda dumb to use a heavily insulating material such as glass to slap on both sides of the phone.
Inductive charging doesn’t work very well (if at all) through metal.
And plastic is apparently a dirty word (one-time use plastic should be, mind you), even though most iPhone owners are also buying I plenty of Patagonia micro plastic fleeces.
I miss the times where plastic was used in phones. Glass cracks and feels clumsy and insulates. Metal transfers energy from impact to the components inside. Plastic just cracks but at least absorbs some of the energy. And is easily replaceable and feels way better.
How many people actually use wireless charging?
It doesn't feel like a premium material and it accumulates scratches and imperfections faster. Glass is either fine... or completely broken. Not a good heat conductor either.
I'd disagree. My pixel 3a feels really nice, when I got it I honestly wasn't sure for a moment whether it's plastic. It did get a few nicks and scratches, but it looks pretty alright for beeing used every day for three years without case, and me dropping it twice. Can't say the same about the screen glass
Yeah, I really liked the feel of the Pixel 3. Turns out that to make a plastic coat not feel cheap all you have to do is to not use cheap plastic
