The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the very first smartphone from the company to use titanium. The phone comes with a titanium frame, just like the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The thing is, unlike the two iPhones, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is not any lighter because of it.
Titanium didn’t help the Galaxy S24 Ultra lose weight, and that’s perfectly normal
The Galaxy S24 Ultra weighs 232 grams, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra weighs 234 grams. The difference here is only 2 grams, which is basically not noticeable. For comparison’s sake, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max weigh 187 grams and 221 grams, while their predecessors weigh 206 grams and 240 grams. That’s a considerable difference right there.
The battery is also the same in regards to the capacity, so… what’s the gist? Well, you have to keep in mind that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max used stainless steel instead of aluminum for its frame. The Galaxy S23 Ultra uses aluminum and a lighter version of aluminum at that.
So, the jump from already light aluminum to titanium is apparently not as considerable as some of you thought. A jump from stainless steel to titanium, however, sure is. I hope this clears it up, as some people seemed a bit disappointed by the Galaxy S24 Ultra weight.
The company announced its new flagship smartphone series a couple of days ago
As many of you know, Samsung announced three smartphones a couple of days ago, and one of them was the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ also arrived. Those two phones kept the aluminum build, however. They’re very similar to their predecessors when it comes to weight as well.
All three phones are fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy in the US. In Europe, however, the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ come equipped with the Exynos 2400 instead.
All three phones have a matte glass finish on the back, and all three have seen slight design changes. The frame is completely flat on the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+. The two phones also have slightly thinner bezels and slightly larger displays. The Galaxy S24 Ultra, on the other hand, now has a flat display, and its top and bottom sides are entirely flat.
