Samsung confirmed that it uses Micron’s DRAM and UFS 4.0 storage chips for the Galaxy S25 series over its in-house DRAM & storage chipsets.
Initially before the Galaxy S25 launch it was rumored that Samsung is planning to ditch its in-house RAM and storage chipset over Micron’s for the upcoming Galaxy S25 series. Now, a month after the Galaxy S25 launch, Samsung confirmed that the newly launched high-end devices don’t use in-house RAM & storage chipsets.
An American memory chip maker, Micron, announced that each variant of the Galaxy S25 series uses its LPDDR5X DRAM and UFS 4.0 storage chips and also shared a text post on X, claiming that it is a primary memory chip supplier of the Galaxy S25 series. Micron Technology’s new and improved version of UFS 4.0 is the most compact UFS package in the world, measuring only 9 x 13 mm, which is quite better as compared to the previous version, which measured 11 x 13mm.
Micron also states that its LPDDR5X DRAM chips are based on the advanced 1-Beta process technology and have design optimizations, making them compatible with running at lower voltage levels than competing chips and also resulting in upgraded battery breath on devices that use those chips.
The Galaxy S25 series is the first flagship Galaxy series that uses RAM from a different brand as all older Galaxy S and Z lineup’s smartphones have in-house DRAM and storage chips.
