Samsung has increased RAM prices significantly, potentially leading to higher costs in 2026.

According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo in October 2025, memory price increases are more impactful than anticipated, affecting consumers as the supply chain adjusts. Devices with substantial storage capacities are expected to become increasingly costly. This prediction aligns with earlier reports of rising memory prices, recently corroborated by new smartphone releases. LPDDR5X (RAM) prices are notably increasing, with industry forecasts projecting a 20-30% year-over-year rise in memory costs for flagship models next year.
