Samsung Galaxy S26 Extremely, the corporate’s next-generation of non-foldable flagship smartphone, might get a serious RAM improve. As per the report, the machine might be geared up with the ten.7Gbps LPDDR5X RAM, which was first introduced by the South Korean tech big’s semiconductor division in April 2024. The brand new RAM is claimed to extend the efficiency of the cellphone by 25 % whereas bettering the facility effectivity by the identical proportion. The handset is anticipated to be launched alongside the Galaxy S26 Professional and Galaxy S26 Edge fashions.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Extremely Might Be Extra Energy Environment friendly
In line with a SamMobile report (by way of tipster @UniverseIce’s now-deleted put up), the Galaxy S26 Extremely might characteristic a LPDDR5X RAM with 10.7Gbps knowledge switch velocity. This DRAM was unveiled by Samsung in April 2024. It was manufactured utilizing a 12nm course of expertise, making it the smallest chip dimension amongst present LPDDRs.
Within the announcement post, the tech big claimed that the ten.7Gbps LPDDR5X DRAM will enhance efficiency by greater than 25 %, and capability by over 30 %, in comparison with the earlier technology. Moreover, it is usually mentioned to spice up energy effectivity by 25 % as nicely.
Whereas SamMobile claims that the Galaxy S26 Extremely would be the first Samsung cellphone to be geared up with this chipset, a conflicting report from GSMArena claims that it was additionally used within the Galaxy S25 Extremely. Because the firm doesn’t formally reveal the RAM kind, it’s tough to make sure which is the case.
Nonetheless, in the identical announcement put up, the South Korean tech big mentions, “Mass manufacturing of the ten.7Gbps LPDDR5X is scheduled to start by the second half of the 12 months, following verification with cellular software processor (AP) and cellular machine suppliers.”
If this timeline is to be thought-about, the ten.7Gbps LPDDR5X RAM wouldn’t have been able to be added in a tool until late 2024. By that point, the Galaxy S25 Ultra would already be too deep within the manufacturing part, and the brand new RAM would have been unlikely to be geared up into it. Nonetheless, that is merely a hypothesis, and nothing might be mentioned for certain except the corporate confirms this.
