Please refrain from spreading misinformation. Nubia has info on its GLASS back panel on their brochures since their z50ultra. It is etched to give it a special texture. If you did some research, for example dropping your z50ultra, z60ultra, z70ultra/...

It's actually neither glass nor plastic, but fibreglass, a popular flagship material in recent phones.
