We’ve made no secret of our disdain for fingerprint-collecting plastics in the past, and have never been shy about pointing it out in the worst offenders, but Samsung’s Propel Pro takes this dirty little trend its peak. This thing just looks gross.
We spied the new Propel – one of the six affordable new QWERTY phones available on AT&T – at Samsung’s booth. And though it has a sort of sophisticated-looking mirror finish from afar, getting close reveals it’s really just a patchwork of greasy prints. Even worse, the finish somehow imbues them with a reflected rainbow tint that makes the effect even more apparent. Woof.
It’s a shame, considering we really liked the original Propel. This one still has the potential to be much more capable, but certainly not prettier.
