Samsung is now looking forward to considering Micron as its primary RAM provider for its Galaxy flagship devices by increasing the use of Micron memory.
The Korean tech giant has its own memory division; however, despite this, it relies on third-party suppliers, such as Micron, for the RAM in its flagship models. The main reason behind this reliance is the lower yield rates and the heat management issues.
This year, Samsung ditched its in-house 10nm LPDDR5X memory chips and used Micron’s RAM in its Galaxy S25 series. Now, a new report has revealed that the company may increase the use of Micron memory in flagship Galaxy devices going forward.
Reportedly, since the launch of the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung has almost completely relied on Micron for LPDDR5X RAM for the initial few months. However, the firm has recently shaken up the supply chain by lowering Micron’s share to 40%, as it has increased in-house DS division chips to 60%.
Mizuho TMT specialist Jordan Klein revealed that Samsung will raise Micron’s share to 60%. Noticeably, during the third-quarter pricing discussion, Micron demanded a 10% price hike, and fortunately, the Korean tech giant agreed closer to their terms.
A few weeks ago, it was reported that the next-generation Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature faster LPDDR5X RAM, offering a data transfer rate of 10.7 Gbps, which is almost 25 percent faster than the 8.5 Gbps RAM in the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
It will be interesting to see whether Samsung will use its in-house chips or go for Micron’s memory for its Galaxy S26 series.
