According to a report published yesterday, Samsung is expected to launch the new generation Galaxy S24 series in the USA on January 17, in line with previous rumors. Sources reveal information about the upcoming flagship devices of the South Korean brand. Now a new report from the company’s home country confirms an important detail of one of the S24 devices.

Galaxy S24 Ultra will be the first model with a titanium frame

Citing unnamed sources, South Korean publication The Elec has revealed that Samsung will join the fray to offer a titanium frame on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Apple was the first to do this with this year’s iPhone 15 Pro models. Later, Xiaomi also joined the Cupertino-based technology giant by offering the Xiaomi 14 Pro in Titanium Special Edition.

The report also states that next year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra will be the first device with titanium material. Depending on how well it is received, the company may apply the same method to other models. The latest development refutes a report last month that claimed the entire Galaxy S24 series would feature a titanium frame. The South Korean brand has also set a target of producing 15 million titanium frames, which will initially coincide with the sales figure of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. This potentially suggests that the company may introduce titanium only in the S24 Ultra model.

Samsung reportedly started working on incorporating titanium into its smartphones about two years ago, but the decision to commercialize it only came recently. Modern aluminum frames cost the company $20. Moreover, the low efficiency of using titanium can increase the price by four to five times.
