Along with rumors according to which the Galaxy S7 must submit as early as January next year, the network has information relating to the materials in the product. Currently, the most popular is aluminum, if it is a metal device, of which there are not so little. At a minimum frame almost all flagships is made of metal.

Galaxy S6 was no exception. Do not be an exception and Galaxy S7, which by design is not much different from S6 – there will also be glass and metal. However, if the Galaxy S6 acted as metal aluminum frame Galaxy S7 is made of magnesium alloy. Furthermore, a magnesium alloy is used as the internal structure of the smartphone.

Magnesium is an alkaline earth metal, it is not totally suitable for use in consumer applications, as is very unstable and reactive. Therefore, pure magnesium is almost never used, a magnesium alloy is used mainly with various metals, including aluminum or zinc. For example, a magnesium alloy can be found in laptops, digital cameras, and even some mobile smartphones. Which smartphones question?

Here comes the fun part. To some it may seem that the market for mobile use of magnesium alloy will be something new and unique, which is characteristic of the new flagship of the Koreans.

It is also worth noting feature of magnesium. After all, why use a magnet if any special qualities in comparison with the aluminum he not? Thus, the density of the magnesium alloy is 1.8 g / cc; density of 6013 series aluminum, which is used in S6, equal to 2.71 g / cc; the density of aluminum 7000 series, which can be found in the iPhone 6s, and above all.

Thus, magnesium is 33% lighter than aluminum, the result will be a smaller weight of the unit. And on the physical properties of the magnesium alloy is no worse than aluminum, and in some aspects even better.
