This year's model has a titanium frame - like Apple's iPhone 15 Pro - which Samsung says allows for better durability. Unlike Apple, Samsung hasn't used the material in an attempt to make the phone lighter; titanium is heavier than aluminum, but it's more durable so you can use less of it. In this case, Samsung has just gone for the durability factor.
There's another hardware shake-up on the back of the phone: Samsung swapped the S23 Ultra's 10-megapixel 10x zoom for a 50-megapixel 5x. It uses a lossless crop zoom to get to 10x, and even though it's no longer a native focal length, several Samsung representatives told me the image quality at 10x should actually be improved compared to the S23 Ultra.
