The Samsung Galaxy S7 will feature a magnesium alloy monocoque

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Gold Cover

The Samsung Galaxy S6 has been one of the most innovative phones in design within Samsung. Replacing the classic plastic back cover with the aluminum frames and the glass casing, it is a smartphone with a great design. However, the new Samsung Galaxy S7 will have an even better design. It aspires to be lighter, and more resistant, thanks to a magnesium alloy monocoque.

Magnesium alloy

Specifically, the new information tells us that the smartphone will have a new design, in which the key will be in the new magnesium alloy. This is a novelty, because the Samsung Galaxy S7 does not even have an alloy case, but rather an aluminum frame, and a glass back cover. Thus, in the new Samsung Galaxy S7 there would be two novelties. One of them would be that Samsung would change the frame + casing structure for the unibody design. And on the other hand, it would not be aluminum (only aluminum), nor glass, but this would be magnesium.

Lighter and stronger

Actually, it is not the first time that we speak of magnesium as the manufacturing material of a new Samsung smartphone, since this possibility has already been discussed on several occasions. However, it would finally be the Samsung Galaxy S7 that would have a magnesium monocoque. Now, what windows does magnesium alloy offer us? For example, it does not have the problems of the Aluminum 6000 that the iPhone 6 Plus has and that made it relatively easy to fold. That is why Apple decided to make the new iPhone 6s Plus with Aluminum 7000, which is more resistant, very difficult to bend, but which results in a smartphone that weighs more and is larger.

The magnesium alloy would stand out for two advantages. On the one hand, a magnesium monocoque will not bend like Aluminum 6000, but at the same time the smartphone will be lighter than mobile phones with Aluminum 7000. In addition, it achieves a surface that is just as smooth as aluminum, so when In the end, the finish and the quality of the mobile would be equal to or higher than that of an aluminum mobile.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 would be launched in February, according to the latest information. Although, yes, before this could arrive the first Samsung mobile with a folding screen.
