I keep seeing these posts about being the first to titanium. The essential phone used titanium before all of them but because the brand died I guess they don't count anymore.

This seems like it's going to be the next fad. I just hope we don't get reviews that say, "this phone is terrible!!! It isn't even made of titanium!!!!!! Everything else is amazing, though." Like when phones where switching from plastic about 10 years ago.

Are there any actual benefits to titanium in a phone?

If you implant it in your body by accident, titanium is biocompatible.

Better strength-to-weight ratio than aluminium.

Funny, Apple is expected to release an all titanium iPhone 15 Pro and now suddently every brand decides to do it.

Yes, but at the time didn't pick up. Apple is doing it out of necessity, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is very heavy (pretty much as heavy as a Samsung Fold 4 when you put a case on it).
