While the Galaxy S25 series will continue to support the LPDDR5X RAM standard, that doesn’t mean that the RAM chips won’t offer improved performance and energy-efficiency. Instead of packing its 2025 flagship phones with its own LPDDR5X RAM chip, Samsung is using Micron’s 12GB RAM chip instead. One reason for the improved performance and energy-efficiency is the slight improvement in the process node used to produce the RAM chip. Micron’s chip will be made using the 12nm node while Samsung’s RAM chip was made last year with the 13nm process node.

From its overheating RAM chips to Samsung Foundry’s low yields for its 3nm production, Samsung shot itself in the foot and will have to pay for its mistakes literally. Most likely, Samsung will be compelled to hike prices for the Galaxy S25 flagship line. As a result, Galaxy S25 buyers might notice that their wallets are a little lighter.
