While in the past years we quite often encountered smartphones made largely of plastic, many manufacturers are now slowly but surely switching to metals. They give the phone body the necessary strength and durability. Last but not least, they deliver the phone at least in terms of appearance, value and luxury. However, their disadvantage is sometimes the weight, which in some cases is significantly greater compared to plastic. Fortunately, however, great progress is being made in this industry as well.

Samsung has also achieved a relatively large step forward. In fact, the magnesium and aluminum alloy "Metal 12" was recently created in his laboratories, which is characterized by excellent resistance and at the same time very low weight. It is not surprising that the South Korean giant wants to use it for many of its products in the future. He even had his name Metal 12 patented by the Office for Intellectual Property. The application then plans to use its alloy for future smartphones and smart phoneswatch indirectly confirmed.

Similar attempts have already appeared in the past

Although the news about the new unique alloy is quite interesting and may affect us to a large extent in the future, it is certainly not surprising. Samsung already tried something similar in the past. Similar speculations arose, for example, even before the presentation of the two-year-old Galaxy S7, whose body was supposed to contain a significant part of magnesium. In the end, however, Samsung abandoned its plan and made it out of proven aluminum. But now the situation is different and there is nothing standing in the way of using the alloy. Samsung even used it in its recently introduced Notebook 9 (2018).

So let's be surprised when Samsung will present us with the first products from the new alloy. It would certainly be interesting if this were already the case with the upcoming one Galaxy S9. However, he will most likely not get a similar privilege yet. Of course, we cannot say that with XNUMX% certainty.
