Galaxy S27 Might Drop to 8GB of RAM; Other Android Phones Could Go Back to 4GB
Leakers say rising memory costs could push Samsung’s next flagship lineup to 8GB starting RAM and trim lower-end Android phones to 4GB.
- According to leaker and analyst @kro_roe on Twitter, Samsung's Galaxy S27 base models will start with 8GB of RAM, marking a departure from the 12GB standard maintained over the past two generations.
- Rising memory costs are straining manufacturers across the industry. Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S26 relied on 12GB to maintain performance, but cost pressures are now forcing adjustments downward.
- Higher tiers of the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra may include 16GB of RAM, though those configurations remain 'under consideration.' Samsung might also differentiate UFS storage versions across models to balance costs.
- Consumers should anticipate price hikes, as the leaker warns increases 'may be unavoidable.' Pre-order incentives like doubled storage might also disappear during the launch window.
- As 'RAMageddon' rages, other Android brands are also reducing RAM in their devices to manage rising costs. Industry-wide pressure suggests Samsung is not alone in scaling back memory allocations.
