Samsung equipped the Galaxy S23 series with LPDDR5 RAM and upgraded to LPDDR5X for the S24 models. For the Galaxy S25 series, the company will continue using LPDDR5X RAM, but with a notable change—this year’s flagships will feature RAM chips produced on a smaller, 12nm semiconductor node, improving efficiency. The Galaxy S25 series will reportedly switch to these new, more efficient 12nm chips, supplied by Micron for the initial batch, though future orders will likely feature a higher proportion of Samsung-made RAM.
The shift to 12nm chips is a significant upgrade, as it reduces power consumption, lowering heat generation and improving overall efficiency. This change is particularly important for improving the performance and battery life of the Galaxy S25 models, which will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor across all configurations.
Additionally, the Galaxy S25 series is expected to feature 12GB of RAM in the base model, a key upgrade for the S25, as it was the last flagship in Samsung’s lineup to offer only 8GB of RAM. This increase in RAM, paired with the more efficient 12nm chips, is set to deliver a noticeable boost in performance, ensuring a smoother user experience for demanding tasks and multitasking.
Overall, the combination of the new 12nm RAM and the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite processor is expected to bring enhanced performance and power efficiency to the Galaxy S25 series, making it a compelling option for users seeking cutting-edge mobile technology.
