Samsung is working on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which is no surprise. What might be surprising are some of its specs, namely a pretty huge RAM upgrade that should please enthusiasts.
As reported by SamMobile, reliable leaker @UniverseIce has claimed the Galaxy S25 Ultra has a variant with 16GB RAM, which would be nearly double the rumoured 8GB RAM of the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
While UniverseIce didn’t explicitly name the S25 Ultra, their recent history on X (formerly Twitter) heavily suggests that’s what they’re talking about. A recent report from Ajunews also claimed Samsung is beefing up the mass production of LPDDR6 RAM for further evidence. The higher RAM would make Samsung’s devices not only better at multitasking but also at tackling AI tasks.
This wouldn’t be the first time a Samsung Galaxy phone has featured 16GB of RAM, as both the Galaxy S20 Ultra and Galaxy S21 Ultra did. But since the S21 Ultra, every other Ultra iteration has only featured 12GB of RAM.
Apart from the RAM upgrades, during its second-quarter earnings call, again reported by SamMobile, Samsung revealed a bit more of what to expect from its S25 line, apparently bringing a variety of upgrades.
During the call, Samsung MX Vice President Daniel Araujo stated,
“We’ve consistently upgraded the hardware in our S Series to deliver industry-leading experiences to customers, and we’ll continue to enhance key experiences as well (as) upgrade hardware so that we can offer top performance. For camera and display specs in particular, where we’ve been leading, the S25 at launch will have top-of-the-line upgrades. And we’re also preparing industry-best APs and memory to boost AI performance and offer an overall premium experience.”
There’s currently no expected date for the Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra, but the company typically does new reveals in January, meaning we’ll likely see the S25 line in January 2025.
