Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will be this manufacturer’s biggest claim in advanced technology. It will compete head-to-head with launches such as Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Max or Google’s Pixel 8 Pro launches, and among all the previously announced data about the Samsung terminal, there is one that is particularly striking. …and potentially alarming.

Titanium. As revealed in the Windows Report, the new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will use titanium. In this case, the material that the manufacturer will use for the first time will be used in the side frames. This means that although aluminum remains the main protagonist, it will follow in the footsteps of the iPhone 15 Pro/Max, which also used this material on the sides.

Lights and shadows. This very expensive material is a differentiator in the design and manufacturing of these mobile phones and has both advantages and disadvantages. Its advantages include reduced weight, but some users also note that this material is less resistant to wear marks, scratches and small dents on surfaces. The biggest problem, as some have noted, was something else.

Overheating titanium? What’s actually worrying comes from the accusations Apple has received regarding the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro overheating. Although this doesn’t seem to happen in all cases, Apple has finally realized that this is an issue in iOS 17, and not with the material of these devices. The company released the iOS 17.0.3 update, which apparently fixes these issues.

They will cool down very well in Samsung. We don’t know if future Samsung terminals will show the same issues of sensitivity to scratches, but what the manufacturer is interested in is the cooling of these terminals. In fact, it is said that the S24 Ultra will integrate a vapor chamber that is 1.9 times larger than its predecessor. The aim is to keep the temperatures generated by the powerful SoC, which will theoretically be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, at bay.

A very promising terminal (and very flat). The inclusion of titanium may therefore remain almost an anecdotal, but it can undoubtedly help with this “slimming” in terms of weight. Since the weight of the Galaxy S23 Ultra is not less than 234 grams, any improvement in this regard will be noticeable. There’s an even more striking difference in the design area: Samsung will predictably leave its traditional curved displays behind and use a flat screen.

A photo monster. Doubts about titanium remain in the background if we pay attention to other features of the terminal, such as the 6.8″ screen that supports refresh rates of up to 120 Hz. But its photographic potential is particularly promising: the device’s 200-megapixel main sensor, 12 ultra-wide-angle and dual telephoto lenses: three in one 10 MP with incremental zoom and the other 50 MP with 10x zoom.
