As per yesterday’s report, Samsung is expected to unveil its next-generation Galaxy S24 series on January 17 in the US which falls in line with previous rumors. Leaks have been revealing information about the upcoming flagship devices from the South Korean brand. Now, a new report out of the company’s home country confirms a key detail of one of the S24 devices. 

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will be the first to adopt titanium frame

South Korean publication The Elec citing unnamed sources revealed that Samsung will join the bandwagon of introducing a titanium frame on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This was done first by Apple on this year’s iPhone 15 Pro models. Later Xiaomi also joined the Cupertino-based tech giant as it offered the Xiaomi 14 Pro in a Titanium Special Edition. 

The report adds that next year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra will be the first device to sport a titanium material. Based on how well it is received, the company may eventually adopt the same on other models. The latest development refutes last month’s report that claimed the entire Galaxy S24 series will come with a titanium frame. The South Korean brand has also set a tentative goal to manufacture 15 million titanium frames initially which matches the sales number of Galaxy S23 Ultra units. This potentially indicates that the company may indeed introduce titanium on the S24 Ultra model only. 

Samsung reportedly started working on titanium adoption for its smartphones around two years ago, however, the decision to commercialize this materialized recently. The current aluminum frames cost $20 to the company. Additionally, the low yield rate of titanium adoption could shoot up the price by four to five times. 

Leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra have revealed a familiar design like its predecessor and reduced screen bezel on the front. The next-generation S24 series is also confirmed to be available in Snapdragon and Exynos processor variants depending on the market.
