On April 18th, digital blogger "iIceUniverse" tweeted that Samsung's next-generation flagship phone, the Galaxy S25 standard version, will still start with 8GB of RAM.
Currently, even budget Android phones in China come with 12GB or 16GB of RAM, with some models boasting up to 24GB.
However, Samsung's flagship Galaxy S series continues to stick with 8GB of RAM as the starting point, giving the impression of being "unambitious." Therefore, some netizens have criticized that Samsung's memory, like Apple's, is considered "gold standard."
If next year's standard version of the Samsung Galaxy S25 continues to start with 8GB of RAM, even if higher specifications are adopted, its appeal to consumers will be greatly diminished.
According to previous reports, due to the performance gap between its in-house Exynos processors and Qualcomm's offerings, Samsung will continue its dual processor strategy, with Qualcomm Snapdragon processors still appearing in the S25 series.
The S25 series will be equipped with either the Exynos 2500 or Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor in different markets, while the highest-end S25 Ultra may only offer the Qualcomm processor version.
