IT Home reported on August 21 that Korean media The Elec reported yesterday (August 20) that Samsung W25 (sold in the domestic market) and Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim (sold in the Korean market) will be made of titanium. This is also Samsung’s first folding screen mobile phone made of titanium.

It is reported that Samsung has contacted several suppliers and is considering whether to use stainless steel or titanium for the back panel of the Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim. If it is the latter, it will become Samsung's first folding screen phone made of titanium.

IT Home Note: The back panels of Samsung's first-generation Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z Fold2 phones are made of stainless steel. In the Galaxy Z Fold3 and subsequent models, in order to identify the S Pen (the digitizer is used to identify the stylus, and the metal back panel will interfere with the recognition), carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) was used.

It is reported that the W25/Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim phone does not support the S Pen stylus, so there is no need to consider the interference of the metal back panel, so Samsung uses metal as the back panel again.

Compared to stainless steel, using titanium as a back plate material is not as simple as you might think. Titanium is stronger and lighter than stainless steel, but it is also more difficult to process.
