It looks like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will come with a serious set of specs when the Samsung Galaxy S25 series is unveiled (likely January next year) – including an increase to 16GB of RAM.
This comes from a well-known tipster Ice universewhich says it’s now “100% confirmed” that the Ultra model in the range will come with 16GB of RAM inside. That’s more than 12 GB of RAM in the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
We’ve heard about this bump in RAM before, in July, and from the same source. That the claim is now being repeated and labeled as ‘confirmed’ gives us more confidence that we will indeed see the upgrade.
As reported by SamMobilewe’ve also heard that the quality of the RAM modules will improve as the total amount of memory increases – and that should mean upgrades in terms of performance and efficiency (which means better battery life).
Back to 16 GB
The S25 Ultra will definitely have a 16GB RAM version, this is 100% confirmed, don’t worry.September 27, 2024
This actually wouldn’t be the first time that the Ultra model in a Galaxy S series has had 16GB of RAM. The same level of memory was available in the Galaxy S20 Ultra and the Galaxy S21 Ultra (2020 and 2021 respectively), before the drop to 12GB.
It looks like both the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus will get 12GB of RAM – compared to the current versions, that would be an increase of 4GB for the standard model, and the same level for the Plus model.
Of course, all this extra RAM means more thinking space for built-in AI features. We can expect many of them to be introduced with the Galaxy S25 series. The phones should be released in January 2025, if Samsung sticks to the same schedule as this year.
Let’s hope the annual RAM increase doesn’t impact the phone’s asking price. As our Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra review will tell you, the 2024 flagship went on sale for $1,299.99 / £1,249 / AU$2,199.
