Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra to boast titanium frame
Rumors suggest that the highly anticipated Galaxy S24 Ultra may come with a titanium frame, promising enhanced durability and premium build quality.
Samsung's upcoming flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, is rumored to take innovation to the next level by adopting cutting-edge technology, namely a titanium alloy frame. The speculation stems from a tweet by the well-known Samsung leaker "Ice Universe," who posted an image of the periodic table highlighting the number "22," symbolizing titanium's atomic number, fueling excitement about the potential inclusion of this premium material in the phone's construction.

The potential adoption of a titanium alloy frame by Samsung has attracted considerable attention, especially in light of reports suggesting that Apple's iPhone 15 Pro models are also considering using this premium material. Titanium's higher strength-to-weight ratio compared to stainless steel or aluminum alloys makes it an attractive choice for flagship devices.

However, it should be noted that titanium alloy comes with a significantly higher cost than aluminum alloy. Samsung might be testing the waters by introducing the titanium alloy frame exclusively in the Galaxy S24 Ultra model.
According to Sammobile, there is a possibility that Samsung will incorporate "Armor Aluminum" in the Galaxy S24 product lineup while reserving the titanium alloy frame for future flagship models.
The shift towards using titanium alloy in smartphones aligns with the trend already observed in the smartwatch industry, reflecting tech giants' continuous pursuit of innovation and premium materials, exemplified by Samsung and Apple.
If the rumors hold true, consumers can expect a flagship phone featuring a titanium alloy frame, boasting enhanced durability and a touch of luxury. Additionally, Samsung is also working on a new battery technology inspired by electric vehicles, which promises to significantly increase battery performance for the upcoming Galaxy S24 series.
