Galaxy S25 smartphones may use Micron memory chips, instead of Samsung's native ones, because of better performance
Samsung, the world's largest memory chip maker, may not use its own chips in the next-generation Galaxy S25 smartphone.
Here's What We Know
According to a new report, most Galaxy S25 devices will feature DRAM chips from US-based Micron, which was previously a secondary supplier for Samsung. This is the first time that Micron will be the primary supplier of memory chips for Samsung's flagship smartphone. The reason for this decision was a price and performance comparison between Micron's and Samsung's DRAM chips, which resulted in Micron's chips being more efficient.
Micron's DDR5X DRAM chips from Micron, manufactured using the 10nm process, are reportedly superior to Samsung's chips in terms of efficiency and heat dissipation. The Galaxy S25 smartphones are expected to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor paired with 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and at least 256GB of inbuilt UFS 4.0 storage. The 512GB and 1TB main memory variants of the Galaxy S25 Ultra will use 16GB of RAM, while the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ will feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of inbuilt storage.
