It reaches shops worldwide on January 31, however reviewers and influencers have had their arms on the Galaxy S24 Extremely. Which means it is time to see how sturdy this 12 months’s Extremely smartphone actually is, with the assistance of Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything.
Nelson’s sturdiness take a look at is perhaps extra vital than ever this 12 months as a result of adjustments Samsung made to the Galaxy S24 Extremely. First off, it is partly made out of titanium. That’s one thing to look at as a result of Nelson uncovered that the OnePlus Open did not really embrace that a lot titanium alloy in its design. In his teardown of the foldable, solely the screws within the hinge had been discovered to be titanium.
Fortunately, Samsung’s claims look like extra correct relating to the Galaxy S24 Extremely’s titanium body. Whereas the ability and quantity buttons usually are not made from titanium, the body is.

At first look, it regarded just like the Galaxy S24 Extremely scratched evenly on the Moh Scale of Hardness. Upon additional inspection with Nelson’s microscopic digicam, that wasn’t really the case. As an alternative, Nelson suspects that the fabric of his choose rubbed off on the glass, somewhat than scratching it.
Which means the Galaxy S24 Extremely will scratch at stage seven of the Moh Scale of Hardness, with deeper grooves exhibiting up at stage eight. For reference, many smartphones — together with these with Gorilla Glass — scratch at stage six throughout Nelson’s take a look at. Because of this, Gorilla Armor on the Galaxy S24 Extremely seems to be higher poised to withstand micro-scratches than every other cellphone available on the market.
It is also price noting that the smartphone has an IP68 water and resistance ranking, so it’s going to face up to submersion in shallow our bodies of freshwater for transient intervals of time.
The Galaxy S24 Extremely handed the sturdiness take a look at with flying colours, and it reveals that the brand new titanium end and Gorilla Armor cowl materials really make a distinction.
