A YouTuber tore down the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra to check its internals, repairability, and the materials that are used in it.
The video shows that Samsung used Grade 2 titanium to make the side rails of the phone's frame.
Grade 2 titanium is not as strong as the Grade 5 titanium used in the iPhone 15 Pro.
Samsung recently launched its flagship Galaxy S24 series. This lineup includes three smartphone models: the Samsung Galaxy S24, the Samsung Galaxy S24+, and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is Samsung’s first handset to use titanium material for the frame and Gorilla Glass Armor protection for the screen. We already know that the Apple iPhone 15 Pro also boasts a titanium frame.
A teardown video has revealed what grade of titanium the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra uses. Let’s check that out.

The video shows that Samsung used Grade 2 titanium to make the side rails of the phone’s frame, which is not as strong as the Grade 5 titanium used in the iPhone 15 Pro.
Grade 2 titanium is a bit more durable than 6061 aluminium but not as strong as Grade 5 titanium. The video also mentioned that Samsung used 6061 aluminium for the rest of the phone’s frame, and used plastic to fuse the aluminium and titanium parts of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The video also showed that Samsung placed the haptic feedback motor inside the bottom loudspeaker of the Galaxy S24 Ultra. They’ve made sure the S Pen slot is sealed to prevent water from getting into the phone. The bottom loudspeaker uses foam balls for better sound depth, but the top one doesn’t. Interestingly, this phone is simpler to repair compared to previous-generation Galaxy S models.
JerryRigEverything also checked if using the SIM ejector pin in the microphone hole instead of the designated slot would cause damage. Surprisingly, it turns out that you won’t harm anything because of the shape of the hole. This is useful information for those who accidentally insert the SIM ejector pin into the microphone hole.
Overall, it appears that Samsung opted for lower-grade titanium in the Galaxy S24 Ultra compared to the iPhone 15 Pro. This might be the reason why Samsung didn’t heavily promote or hype up the material, the report said.
