JerryRig burns a Galaxy S24 Ultra in a furnace to find out how much titanium was used to build it

05 February 2024
Like with the iPhone 15 Pros, titanium is only used for the shell of the phone, not the internal frame.

atichko, 05 Feb 2024Aluminium, Titanium...it's all just a commercial scam ... moreNope best phones are one with plastic chassis and lightweight like Samsung Galaxy S4

    Aluminium, Titanium...it's all just a commercial scam to attract buyers to pay more than necessary. Titanium is also more expensive and could have better use in other domains, especially when you know it's kind of a rare metal. All this to please a bunch of snobs who even don't know the real difference except for whatever lie is advertised. The best phones are still the plain full polycarbonate ones with a steal chassis plate at the inside. The rest is esthetics and marketing with no added value (besides "maybe" some heat dissipation advantages over plastics). Does it feel different from a, let's say, a metal of aluminium frame? No. Does it feel that much lighter than devices using less exotic materials? No, at least not in real life feel. A few grams less isn't going to be enough to shout "Eureka". So funny to see people are actually soo bothered with how it shows to the outside world when holding it in your hands. Appearance is everything? Nice devices non the less but seriously overkill (and overpriced).

        ohi, 05 Feb 2024Apple has a better Titanium structure than Samsung - End o... moreApple's phone did snap in two, Samsung's didn't. That's all you need to know about "superior Apple manufacturing".
        In the end, titanium grade doesn't matter, neither does the titanium itself, if the phone snaps it can be made out of unobtanium for all the customer cares, it's still a shit build.

          Mills, 05 Feb 2024Grade 2 is still something I guess.You funny.
          They added 3 dollars of titanium and say its a titanium edition.
          So now because of a cooper cambers for reducing heat all phone can be called cooper edition phones right???
          Bro you funny.
          Worth 2 dollars of titanium is nothing but mEh.

              I get told frequently on this site and others how my 15 Pro Max should be burning my hands to ash at every opportunity, often by those who profess they would never use such a device in the first place but it doesn’t. Other than the during the initial set up, I have never noticed it get any warmer than any other smartphone I have ever used 🤷

                I honestly don't see the point of phones having titanium.

                  Anonymous, 05 Feb 2024Well, yeah. It's mid winter. The initial overheating was an iOS 17 Instagram app bug that was patched, there was even a gsmarena article on it..

                    Anonymous, 05 Feb 2024Well, yeah. It's mid winter. Winter with temperatures about +15°C.

                      Apple has a better Titanium structure than Samsung - End of Discussion
                      wait no, i gotta rant - Samsung has been really cheap lately. Devices are more expensive than apple and the build quality is not on par.
                      Love the screen though, still Samsung has been losing to apple only because they are over charging their customers. Way to lose the loyal crowd. You cannot be apple. they know how to market their stuff, they make it attractive, what about you samsung, you got no excuse for those prices.

                        Samsung tried copying Apple's homework but it wasn't even close. LOL they had one job.

                          Darth Caesium, 05 Feb 2024Wait, there were phones that used kevlar? Could you name me... moreJut curious. Did you try googling before asking?
