Galaxy S26 Ultra's big ace over predecessor revealed
Galaxy S25 Ultra and S24 Ultra | Image Credit - Phonearena The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will reportedly receive a power boost not just from a new-generation chip but also the latest RAM technology. Leaker Ice Universe has revealed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature low-power double data rate 5X (LPDDR5X) memory with a speed of up to 10.7 gigabits per second (Gbps). This component will apparently be sourced from memory producer Micron. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to have faster RAM than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The Galaxy S25 Ultra , like most top Android phones powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite Mobile Platform, comes with LPDDR5X built on Micron's previous-gen 1β (1-beta) process technology and delivers speeds up to 9.6 Gbps. In contrast, the Galaxy S26 Ultra 's RAM will be based on Micron's 1γ (1-gamma) DRAM technology. Galaxy S26 Ultra's memory chip will be faster and more power efficient. | Image Credit - Micron Micron claims that its 1γ LPDDR5X offers the industry's fastest RAM speed — 10.7 Gbps — which makes it ideal for AI use cases and data-intensive apps. Users can expect faster response and result delivery times. 1γ LPDDR5X also enables up to 20 percent power savings compared to 1-beta LPDDR5X memory. This means that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will burn through its charge at a slower rate than the Galaxy S25 Ultra . The new component will also take up less space, coming in at just 0.61mm, potentially freeing up room for other components such as a larger camera sensor or a bigger battery. Alternatively, Ice may be hinting at Samsung's 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X DRAM, which was announced last year. It's based on the 12nm process technology and is also faster and more power-efficient, and space-efficient than the previous-gen tech. Last year, Samsung allegedly ran into some overheating issues, which is why 60 percent of Galaxy S25 devices featured Micron-made components. Though Samsung allegedly successfully fixed the LPDDR5X process issues, a June report said that it was testing Micron's LPDDR5X for the Galaxy S26 series. Regardless of which supplier the company goes for, buyers can look forward to similar benefits. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is also expected to feature an upgraded design and a thinner profile. This Galaxy S25 is doing quite well and an improved Galaxy S25 Ultra with speedier performance will help the company build on that success.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra's RAM type revealed
Ivan, 08 August 2025 Renowned Samsung insider Ice Universe shared the RAM details of the upcoming S26 Ultra in a post on X. He shared that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X RAM, the same type as the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It's unclear if the capacity will change as that hasn't been upgraded since the first Galaxy S20 Ultra in 2020. Now, 12GB is more than enough, and it's unlikely that you'll run out of RAM on your phone under normal circumstances. But in recent years, competing Android flagships have normalized 16 GB of RAM as a base, and some go as high as 24 GB. So, if the S26 Ultra will indeed have 12GB, it will look underpowered compared to the likes of the Xiaomi Ultra, the OnePlus 15, Google's Pixel 10 series, and other rivals. Currently, only the iPhone is still using less than 12GB at 8GB. Source (since deleted)

Galaxy S26 Ultra leak hints at a serious upgrade for power users
Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A new leak claims the Galaxy S26 Ultra will use LPDDR5X RAM running at 10.7 Gbps. This would be around 11.5% faster than the Galaxy S25 Ultra's 9.6 Gbps RAM. The speed matches Micron's latest LPDDR5X chip, which is up to 20% more power-efficient than its predecessor. A new leak suggests Samsung's next Ultra flagship could get a boost to both performance and battery life. If accurate, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will ship with cutting-edge LPDDR5X RAM that not only runs faster but also consumes less power than the memory in its predecessor. The claim comes from tipster Ice Universe on X, who says the S26 Ultra will use LPDDR5X at 10.7 Gbps. That figure matches the top speed of chip-maker Micron's 1γ (1-gamma) LPDDR5X, announced in June, which also promises up to 20% better power efficiency than the company's last generation. The specific top speed and timing make it likely this is the chip behind the leak. That would be a step up from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which never disclosed an official RAM speed but was confirmed by Micron to use its 1β (1-beta) LPDDR5X. That chip is rated for up to 9.6 Gbps, so even if the S25 Ultra pushed that top speed, the jump from 9.6 Gbps to 10.7 Gbps works out to an 11.5% bandwidth increase, along with the extra efficiency gains of the 1γ design. This is great news for power users. More bandwidth means the phone's processor can move data in and out of memory more quickly, which can help with demanding tasks like 8K video capture, high-frame-rate gaming, and running AI features directly on the device. The improved efficiency could also translate into less battery drain during those workloads, particularly as on-device AI becomes a bigger part of Samsung's Galaxy experience. This rumored RAM upgrade would come alongside other rumored S26 Ultra upgrades, including a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip sourced from TSMC, a slimmer frame, and a slightly larger display with narrower bezels. While Samsung hasn't confirmed any of these details, the combined leaks suggest a phone with meaningful generational upgrades across multiple components. Follow

Innodisk Introduces DDR5 and LPDDR5X CAMM2 Memory Modules for Rugged Industrial Applications
TAIPEI, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Innodisk, a leading provider of industrial-grade memory solutions, officially releases its new DDR5 CAMM2 and LPDDR5X CAMM2 (LPCAMM2) memory modules. With 60% less space and blazing speeds up to 6400 MT/s and 8533 MT/s, respectively, Innodisk's CAMM2 series marks a strategic leap into the rugged device and compact system market. Innodisk's new CAMM2 series features a distinctive design. DDR5 CAMM2 and LPDDR5X CAMM2 consolidate dual channels on a single module, effectively combining the capacity and performance of two separate SODIMMs into a compact footprint. Despite handling a greater signal load, the modules feature a more simplified PCB routing that enhances signal integrity, resulting in cleaner and more reliable data transmission. Additionally, the new motherboard design, paired with the CAMM2 module, eliminates signal stubs caused by unused DIMM slots in traditional stacked configurations. The flat, board-hugging installation improves thermal contact and frees up space for customized cooling solutions. Powered by DDR5, Innodisk's CAMM2 delivers speeds of up to 6400 MT/s. The LPDDR5X version further boosts performance to 8533 MT/s, maintains the same 128-bit data width, and lowers operating voltage to 1.05 V. This advanced design improves power efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and extends system working hours. These features align well with the needs of Compact PCI, mini PC, rugged laptops, and fanless system s that demand high performance in compact, power-efficient designs. Furthermore, to facilitate easy maintenance and modular scalability, both CAMM2 and LPCAMM2 adopt a screw-lock design, which not only secures mechanical attachment but also improves vibration resistance and mechanical durability, making them well-suited for rugged environments such as aerospace and mission-critical applications. Additionally, LPCAMM2's modular LPDDR5X architecture eliminates the need for full motherboard replacements, addressing the limitations of soldered memory designs. As a pioneer in bringing CAMM2 technologies to the industrial sector for embedded applications, Innodisk reinforces its commitment to enabling industrial AI at the edge. To support the adoption of the new form factor, Innodisk provides comprehensive after-sales service and flexible customization options. A stable and long-term supply further ensures that customers can integrate CAMM2 solutions with confidence. The Innodisk LPDDR5X and DDR5 CAMM2 modules will begin sampling in Q4 2025.
