Samsung and Apple both heavily promote the novelty of smartphones based on titanium. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and Apple iPhone 15 Pro models use high-strength metal. However, a new technical analysis has shown that Apple surpasses Samsung in terms of the quality of titanium used.
Popular YouTuber Zack Nelson from the JerryRigEverything channel published a video about the Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphone over the weekend. It focuses on the quantity and type of titanium used by Samsung. He examined it with a scanner, which indicated that the phone’s structure is mostly made of aluminum, with titanium located in the external frame. In contrast to Samsung, Apple uses Grade 5 Titanium to make the frame of the iPhone 15 Pro, which is significantly more durable than Grade 2 Titanium used by Samsung in the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Grade 5 Titanium, which is an alloy of titanium, aluminum, and vanadium, is more durable and resilient than Grade 2 Titanium, while being about four times more expensive due to its higher quality. Therefore, it seems that the frame of the iPhone 15 Pro provides greater durability than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Furthermore, Apple also employs a more advanced process of bonding the titanium strip to the internal frame, which is more durable than the method used by Samsung, which involves injecting plastic between aluminum and titanium.
After removing the aluminum and plastic from the Galaxy S24 Ultra casing, the YouTuber notes that Samsung likely uses titanium worth $3-5, whereas Apple possibly utilizes material worth $10-15 in the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro Max. Of course, this does not include the costs of shaping and casting the metal. Overall, Apple seems to use higher quality and more expensive titanium in the iPhone 15 Pro models compared to the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
