Samsung is planning to enhance the design of its flagship smartphones by adopting titanium frames in the upcoming Galaxy S24 series, according to recent reports.
Previous reports indicated that Samsung would use a titanium frame in manufacturing the Galaxy S24 Ultra edition. However, other sources confirm that the Korean company is testing the new frame in all versions, including the standard and plus models.
Titanium alloys are commonly used in the aerospace industry and spacecraft construction. Titanium is renowned for its strength-to-weight ratio, making it lighter and more durable compared to steel, and twice as strong as aluminum.
Moreover, titanium boasts excellent resistance to heat and corrosion. However, it has low thermal conductivity and dissipates heat less efficiently, and it is a high-cost material.
It’s worth noting that Apple recently introduced the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max with external frames made of titanium, significantly reducing their weight.
However, Apple used aluminum for the inner frame and structural core to harness the benefits of titanium while avoiding its drawbacks. Samsung is expected to follow a similar approach with the Galaxy S24 series, mirroring Apple’s strategy with the iPhone 15 Pro.
Samsung has officially unveiled the Exynos 2400 processor, which it intends to use in the upcoming Galaxy S24 smartphones scheduled for early next year.
