Alongside a bunch of flashy upgrades like a new ultrawide camera, more powerful processor, and faster wireless charging, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra will introduce some understated yet impactful improvements. One of the key changes that could go under the radar involves the RAM technology. Not just more RAM, but the company has allegedly upgraded the RAM manufacturing process for better performance and efficiency.
Galaxy S25 Ultra features more efficient LPDDR5X RAM
A few days ago, the Korean media reported that Samsung had signed up Micron as the primary RAM supplier for the Galaxy S25 series. The company’s sister firm (its own chip division) had a heating issue with its advanced RAM manufacturing technology, leading to this decision. A new report coming from Korea says it has resolved these problems and is now vying to reclaim some of the RAM orders from Micron.
Additionally, the report reveals that the Galaxy S25 trio will feature LPDDR5X RAM, the same as the Galaxy S24. However, Samsung has upgraded the manufacturing process for the RAM chips from 13nm to 12nm. It effectively improves the power, performance, and area (PPA). While it may not be a massive upgrade, the new flagships launching on January 22 should offer enhanced RAM performance and power efficiency.
The Galaxy S25 lineup may also feature more RAM. The base S25 and S25+ are expected to come with 12GB RAM as standard, with no 8GB option — well, we are still awaiting confirmation on that as some rumors hint at the existence of an 8GB RAM variant in select markets. The Ultra, meanwhile, may come in 12GB and 16GB RAM variants. Storage options may include 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.
As mentioned above, Samsung will unveil the new flagships on January 22. The company has already opened pre-reservations for the phones. If you plan to buy a Galaxy S25, S25+, or S25 Ultra, you can pre-reserve now to score additional freebies at launch.
