That's true, but the Forma has plastic body basically all over, including the front of the display, not just it's backing. The Oasis has an aluminium body and has probably kept the front of the display as glass to keep a more "premium" feel to it.
Again, it's all just a guess from me since nothing else has really changed on the specs or on the outside that I can see.
