Galaxy S24 Ultra is equipped with a titanium frame
As we get closer to the possible launch of the Galaxy S24 series, we should expect more reports and rumors about them. Now, a new report confirms that Samsung is using a titanium frame for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, so that it is not different from the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max.
According to A new report from TheElecThe Galaxy S24 Ultra comes with a titanium frame, and apparently it will be the only phone of this family with such a frame. However, Samsung is expected to equip more phones with titanium frames in the coming years.
As you know, Apple introduced titanium frames to the smartphone market with iPhone 15 Pro models. But Samsung has been working on such a frame for two years and now it has decided to use it in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Therefore, either Samsung has been busy optimizing this frame or it has made such a decision for its next flagship due to the release of iPhones with titanium frames.
Titanium frame in Galaxy S24 Ultra
Samsung is said to be working with several Chinese suppliers at its factory in Vietnam. But it seems that in the end, the Chinese company Soloman and the Korean company KH Vatec are responsible for providing the titanium frame of the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Titanium is stronger than aluminum and lighter than stainless steel, however it is more difficult to cut and polish. The yield rate of titanium is lower than the other two materials, and this issue can make the manufacture of titanium frames a costly affair.
Currently, Samsung uses aluminum frames for its phones, the cost of each of which is less than 20 dollars. Of course, the titanium frame has a higher cost and can even have a negative effect on the final price of the phones. Apparently, the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus will still have aluminum frames.
Although the use of a titanium frame in the iPhone 15 Pro models reduced their weight compared to the previous generation, we should not expect the same for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Samsung uses an aluminum frame in its flagships, and titanium is not lighter than that; That’s why rumors say the Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy S23 Ultra weigh the same.
