Samsung Galaxy S9 it will be officially presented in a month and less than a half, but as we get closer to the event, all kinds of new information about the novelties brought by the phone continue to appear. More precisely, according to some recent information, the Samsung Galaxy S9 case could be produced using a new type of material developed by the Korean company, which has the name Metal 12, a rather descriptive one.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 could have a case made of this Metal 12 material, this is far from certain, but anything is possible since Samsung constantly wants to innovate in its platform. This Metal 12 would be a combination of magnesium and aluminum, the number 12 in the name being taken from the periodic table of elements, where magnesium has the same number, so everything would be a good marketing opportunity for the Samsung Galaxy S9.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 would not be the first product of the Korean company that would have a case made of a combination of magnesium and aluminum, the laptops of those in South Korea being made of exactly the same type of material. So far, Samsung has not used this material in any smartphone or tablet launched on global markets, but the Samsung Galaxy S9 could be the first mobile phone in which this material could be used.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 could have a reduced weight, without affecting the resistance, thanks to this new type of material created by the Koreans, and this could bring joy to many of the fans. We are talking about a material that is surprisingly resistant, although it is lighter than simple aluminum, but no one knows how much the weight of the Samsung Galaxy S9 could be reduced: the new metal that could be used in the case if this new type of terminal for the case, but we are probably talking about a few grams.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 will not bring many important changes for customers, the small reconfiguration of the camera location and the integration of a dual camera in the Plus model being the only big design changes. Even if the Samsung Galaxy S9 had a case made with this new Metal 12, no one would notice just by looking at the phone because this change has little chance of being felt even when the phone is held in the hand.

Samsung Galaxy S9 has the presentation scheduled by the Korean company for Mobile World Congress 2018, an event that will most likely be organized on February 26 in Barcelona. The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S9 could take place on February 16, but of course this date would not be "nailed down" at this moment.
