Samsung switched to titanium for the body of the Galaxy S24 Extremely, however there’s extra to it than that. Like with Apple’s iPhones, titanium most effective makes up the outside of the telephone. The 2 corporations used other designs for the internal – Samsung went for a mix of aluminum and plastic. Zack from JerryRigEverything took the S24 Extremely aside to learn the way it’s constructed. And by way of take aside, we imply take aside and installed a 1,100°C/2,000°F furnace to split the entire fabrics.
For those who return and watch the S23 Extremely teardown, you’ll see that final yr’s fashion is milled out of a forged block of aluminum. Titanium is a long way too dear for that, so as a substitute strips of titanium are pieced in combination to make up the outside of the telephone. Again to the present teardown to look how this is carried out:
Lots of the interior parts of the Galaxy S24 Extremely are fixed to an interior aluminum body. Injection-molded plastic runs across the perimeter of that and holds the titanium strips in position. Is {that a} sturdy technique to construct a telephone? It seems that so, as the telephone handed the bend check with flying colours.
When you haven’t watched JerryRig’s iPhone 15 Professional Max teardown video, Apple’s means is other. The titanium external is fused to the aluminum interior body. Apple extensively utilized the next grade of titanium, grade 5, in comparison to Samsung’s grade 2 (grade 5 is an alloy this is tougher than grade 2, which is natural titanium).
