- Samsung could switch to titanium for the backplate of the rumored Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim.
- Until now, the company has used stainless steel and carbon fiber reinforced plastic for the backplates of the Z Fold line.
- It’s said Samsung is considering switching to titanium because the Slim model doesn’t support S Pen recognition.
Titanium phones seem to be all the rage these days, at least for Samsung and Apple. Samsung has made a big deal about the Galaxy S24 Ultra being made with the material, and now reports claim the company may also use the metal for the rumored Galaxy Z Fold 6 “Slim.”
According to The Elec, Samsung’s parts suppliers say the firm is making the final decision on whether to use stainless steel or titanium for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim’s backplate. This would be the first time the tech giant has used titanium for the backplate on any of its foldables.
