Higher-end models could still using LPDDR6 memory chips.

Samsung's next high-end phones will be the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27+, Galaxy S27 Pro, and the Galaxy S27 Ultra. While initial expectations pointed toward all these models using LPDDR6 RAM, it appears that at least some variants may instead use LPDDR5X memory chips.
The Bell reports that Samsung is conducting quality tests on Micron's LPDDR5X memory built on its cutting-edge 1γ process. It is Micron's equivalent to the 1c DRAM generation from Samsung and SK Hynix. Micron submitted these samples to Samsung in the second half of 2025, sparking speculation that they would debut in the Galaxy S26 series, but they didn't.
Even if Micron's latest RAM passes Samsung's benchmarks, widespread adoption remains challenging due to higher pricing. Micron typically charges 20% to 30% higher for new-generation chips. This time, industry reports suggest the company could quote prices up to 50% higher than Samsung Device Solutions, which is Samsung's in-house memory division.
