According to leaker Ice Universe, the Galaxy S26 series is slated to feature a minimum of 12GB of memory across its different models. While that specification is identical to the Galaxy S25\u2019s RAM capacity, the upcoming flagship phones could feature faster memory.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s leak is good news:<br \/>The entire Samsung Galaxy S26 series will use the highest-spec LPDDR5X 10.7Gbps memory currently in mass production, starting with 12GB.<\/p>\n<p>According to the leaker, the transfer speed of the Galaxy S26\u2019s memory could increase to 10.7Gbps \u2014 up from the 9.6Gbps on the Galaxy S25, marking an upgrade of more than 10%. Notably, this change was previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-ram-leak-3585480\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">only rumored for the Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a>, but it may now be extended across all models.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_Em\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Even without an increase in memory size, the enhanced transfer speed could facilitate better results in on-device AI processing on the Galaxy S26, while also improving performance in demanding tasks such as gaming or video recording. We can also expect slight improvements to everyday usage.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the 10.7Gbps figure aligns with the peak transfer speed supported by the LPDDR5X DRAM module produced by <a href=\"https:\/\/semiconductor.samsung.com\/dram\/lpddr\/lpddr5x\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Samsung\u2019s Semiconductor division<\/a>. For that reason, we can anticipate that Samsung will fulfill the entire requirement in-house, rather than relying on other suppliers, such as Micron \u2014 as it did in the case of the Galaxy S25.<\/p>\n<p>While this upgrade certainly raises our expectations about performance on the entire Galaxy S26 series \u2014 not just the Ultra, we\u2019re unsure if these transfer speeds remain constant across both Snapdragon and Exynos models. That parity would be necessary, as Samsung plans to power the base <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s26-exynos-snapdragon-countries-leak-3614927\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Galaxy S26 and the S26 Plus with the Exynos 2600 in most markets<\/a> \u2014 except for a few, such as the US. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to sport a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 globally.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
