Interestingly, Samsung's relatively simple approach to smartphone-geared metallurgy can serve as an effective counter to Apple's more complicated efforts with the so-called Liquidmetal. Samsung new 'dual-phase' frame fuses an outer titanium layer with an inner aluminum core, bringing superior rigidity and thermal performance to its foldables in the near future The tipster Schrödinger has just penned an interesting post on his Telegram channel, detailing Samsung's latest smartphone-related metallurgy efforts. According to the tipster, Samsung […]
