Details about Samsung‘s upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, have been gradually emerging. Today, a new piece of information suggests that Samsung might be planning an upgrade in RAM capacity.
Reliable tipster @UniverseIce made a post on X (formerly Twitter) mentioning just “16GB” RAM and no specific phone model. However, given the timing of the leak and Samsung’s history with this source, it strongly suggests this refers to the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
This wouldn’t be Samsung’s first time offering 16GB of RAM; the Galaxy S20 and S21 Ultra also had similar options. However, Samsung scaled back to 12GB with the S22 Ultra and has maintained this as the maximum RAM option for its flagships since then.
If true, the 16GB option for the Galaxy S25 Ultra will likely please multitasking enthusiasts, as more RAM can benefit users who run demanding applications simultaneously. The increase in RAM could also be for improved efficiency in AI-related tasks. Google is also rumored to be increasing the RAM to 16GB in the Pixel 9 Pro XL for similar reasons.
This memory will be paired with Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip, featuring custom Oryon CPU cores similar to those found in Snapdragon X Elite-powered laptops. There are also rumors of a significantly more powerful GPU, making the phone a strong contender for mobile gaming.
On the camera front, it’s suggested that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will have a 200MP primary sensor, along with a 50MP ultrawide, a 50MP telephoto (with 3x optical zoom), and a 50MP super telephoto (with 5x optical zoom).
Disappointingly, battery life and charging speeds seem to remain unchanged, with the S25 Ultra reportedly sticking to a 5,000mAh battery and 45W fast charging.
Samsung is likely to unveil the Galaxy S25 lineup in January 2025, pre-loaded with Android 15 and the company’s custom One UI 7 interface. The new software is rumored to offer a redesigned user experience, with details about it slowly leaking over time.
