Samsung’s flagship phones always rank among the most powerful handsets of the year, but they don’t always have the most RAM. In the case of the standardSamsung Galaxy S24, for example, you get just 8GB. However, the company might offer more RAM in theSamsung Galaxy S25series.

This claim comes from two sources, with the clearest and most detailed of these leaks stemming from@theonecid. They assert that the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus will have 12GB of RAM, while the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will have 16GB.

So, that would be an extra 4GB of RAM for the S25 relative to the S24, and it would be a similar upgrade for the Ultra, as theSamsung Galaxy S24 Ultrahas 12GB of RAM. This wouldn’t be an upgrade for the Plus model, though, as theGalaxy S24 Plusalso has 12GB.

16GB yes！July 30, 2024

While we’d take this leak with a pinch of salt – especially since the source doesn’t have a very extensive track record – we’ve also heard from@UniverseIcethat the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will have 16GB of RAM.

Or at least, that appears to be what they’re saying. They claim thatsomethingwill have 16GB of RAM, and while they don’t name the phone, the majority of their posts on X are focused on Samsung handsets, and this post was sandwiched between two about Samsung software. Go figure.

A likely leak

@UniverseIce also has a much stronger track record than @theonecid, so while nothing is certain just yet, there’s a good chance that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will come with 16GB of RAM. But as @UniverseIce doesn’t comment on the other two models, we’re less sure of the RAM amounts in those phones.

It’s also worth noting that, even if this leak is accurate, there may still be a 12GB version of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with the 16GB version possibly only being available with the top storage capacity or in certain regions.
