We could see titanium frames and bigger screens introduced to different Samsung Galaxy S24 models when they arrive early next year, says the leaker Ice Universe.
First off, the Galaxy S24 Ultra model could use titanium for its side rails, as IU eventually explained after initially just posting an image of the Periodic Table.
Titanium is an excellent material for premium smartphones, at least in theory, because of its high strength and light weight. Apple seems to agree, as we're apparently seeing the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max get titanium frames themselves later this year.

Display upgrade rumored for Galaxy S23 Plus
That's not all that Ice Universe had to tell us. He's also alleging the Galaxy S24 Plus could have a larger display, moving from the Galaxy S23 Plus 6.6-inch panel to a 6.65-inch one instead.
A larger display could mean a larger body for the S24 Plus, which could in turn mean a larger battery, or at least extra space for other features Samsung may want to add. Currently the S23 Plus differs in display size, battery size, minimum storage capacity and charging speed to the basic Galaxy S23, so having some more features, perhaps borrowed from the Ultra models, could help differentiate the mid-sized Galaxy S phone more from its little sibling.

We've not heard too much about other upgrades for the Galaxy S24 series yet. From what the rumor mill has told us so far though, we should look out for faster charging, the same selfie camera (at least in terms of the sensor), and possibly the reintroduction of Snapdragon and Exynos versions depending on where in the world you buy the phones.
Samsung's likely to launch the Galaxy S24 series next February, if it sticks to its usual timings. That gives us plenty of time to hear more rumors pre-launch, including if other sources back up these claims of Samsung using a new material for the Ultra and a larger display for the Plus.
