Blogger Zach Nelson from the JerryRigEverything channel published a video in which the quality and quantity of titanium in the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra was checked.
For this purpose, the smartphone was placed in a melting structure and then compared with an analogue iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Judging by the disassembly of the device, there is a plastic insert between the frame and titanium. It is needed to improve the signal quality, plus it is part of the supporting structure.
Titanium frames are fused into a plastic insert for connections to aluminum. They themselves are as thin as those on the iPhone.
Based on the analysis, the blogger came to the conclusion that the Galaxy S24 Ultra uses Grade 2 titanium (99% titanium). For comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro Max uses Grade 5 titanium (an alloy consisting of 90% titanium, 6% radiant and 4% vanadium).
The back alloy in the iPhone is more expensive, although it is not almost pure titanium. In Samsung, the cost of metal is $3-5, while in iPhone it is $10-15.
