Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra might adopt a titanium frame, new rumor claims،
Samsung is gearing up for its next flagship series, the Galaxy S24. The rumor on the street is that Galaxy S24, the Galaxy S24 Plus and Galaxy S24 Ultra are expected to launch in mid-January next year. As word spreads, leaks and speculations surface, giving us a glimpse of what the Galaxy S24 series could have in store for us. According to Korean media reports ELECSamsung is set to introduce a titanium frame body soon. Galaxy S24 series. THE Galaxy S24 Ultra should be the first to adopt this titanium frame. The tech giant reportedly aims to gauge reception and potentially expand the use of titanium frames to other models.
According to reports, Samsung is about to lock the yield rate of titanium frame cases. She partnered with several Chinese case suppliers and her team in the assembly plant in Vietnam. Apparently, Samsung began researching the use of titanium in smartphone body frames about two years ago, but the call to commercialize this technology only came recently.
What changes the game here is the yield rate of the cases. If it’s on the low side, be prepared for a price increase four to five times higher, or so they say. Just to put things in perspective, Samsung’s high-end phones now feature aluminum bodies costing less than $20. The tech giant’s ambitious goal is to produce 15 million units of titanium cases, which mirrors the number of Galaxy S23 Ultra models shipped this year.
Let’s see what’s so special about titanium. First, it is lighter than steel and stronger than aluminum. Not only that, but it stays cool with low thermal and current conductivity. If Samsung opts for titanium for the Galaxy S24 Ultrawe may not see a ~10% drop in weight compared to its predecessor, as we saw with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro, where the 15 Pro lost 9% of weight. weight compared to its predecessor, thanks to the switch to titanium.
The difference is that Apple used stainless steel for its iPhone 14 while Samsung used aluminum for the Galaxy S23 series, which is why the Galaxy S24 series would not be much lighter than its predecessor.
In reality, titanium is about two-thirds heavier than aluminum. However, its inherent strength is a game changer. You can achieve the same physical strength with only a fraction of the amount of titanium compared to aluminum.
Apple has taken the lead in introducing titanium into smartphones with its latest iPhone 15 Pro models, and he hasn’t hesitated to flaunt it in his marketing efforts. If Samsung jumps on the bandwagon, which seems likely given previous rumors supporting the move from aluminum to titanium, we could see a domino effect. The adoption of titanium frames in smartphones may well become a trend.
