American YouTube blogger Zach Nelson performs under the pseudonym JerryRigEverything videoComparing the titanium alloys used in the production of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max cases.
The blogger disassembled the smartphones to compare the alloys and then separated the titanium-used side frames from their cases. It turns out that the Galaxy S24 Ultra is as thin as the iPhone 15 Pro Max and is attached to a plastic part.
JerryRigEverything then placed the metal components of the smartphones, one by one, into the crucible and melted them. Further analysis revealed that Samsung and Apple use different types of titanium in their smartphones. Thus, a Class 2 alloy with 99% titanium content was found in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and a Class 5 alloy consisting of 90% titanium, 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium was found in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Although Samsung uses purer titanium, the volume of titanium in the smartphone is smaller. Thus, the South Korean company pays $3-5 for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, while Apple pays $10-15.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will be available on January 24, 2024, starting at $1,290, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be available on September 22, 2023, starting at $1,200.
