Hi, this is Technologytodaynow. This article would like to inform you of the latest update on the Galaxy S25 basic RAM capacity.
Galaxy S Series RAM Controversy
Samsung’s Galaxy S series has received a lot of attention every year when it is released, but there has been a lot of controversy over RAM capacity issues. The Galaxy S20 was equipped with 12GB of RAM, but from the Galaxy S21, 8GB of RAM was installed again, absurdly, and it continued to be downgraded to 8GB of RAM until the S24.
At the time, President Roh Tae-moon’s remarks, “If you reduce the cost from 12GB to 8GB, you can save money, but if you use 8GB and go back to 8GB, it’s the same.” For this reason, there have always been complaints among consumers that “RAM capacity is insufficient.”
Galaxy S25 Basic RAM Capacity Upgrade and Benchmark Performance Results
However, the Galaxy S25 base model is finally expected to feature 12GB of RAM. This can be seen in the benchmark results of the SM-S931N model, which was confirmed in the Geekbench browser, and the chipset is also confirmed to have 12GB of RAM along with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor instead of the Exynos 2500.
When looking at the Geekbench score of the Galaxy S25 base model, the single-core score was identified as 2,481 and the multi-core score as 8,658. This reflects the performance of the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, but the score seems to have been measured somewhat lower due to the low clock speed. If software optimization progresses in the future, it is likely to score higher.
Domestic User Expectations and the Importance of RAM Upgrade
In the Korean market, the Galaxy S series is actually the only model that competes with the iPhone.
Samsung Galaxy has always been labeled as a “RAM Scrooge” because it does not provide enough RAM compared to Apple’s iPhone, but with the iPhone showing high optimization performance with just 8GB of RAM, the 12GB of RAM on the Galaxy S25 is expected to ease consumer complaints.
Notably, the Chinese version of the S24 base model comes with 12GB of RAM, which should help ease some of the regrets.
Galaxy S25’s Price Hike Possible
However, if the RAM is upgraded, the problem is that the price hike of the Galaxy S25 is inevitable. While the base model is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and has increased its memory capacity to 12GB, there seems to be no significant change other than weight reduction. Therefore, it is likely that the price hike will change users’ ratings.
Conclusion
So far, we have provided news about the RAM capacity of the Galaxy S25. The 12GB upgrade is promising, but it’s a shame it took this long. I hope that RAM capacity will not decrease in the future.
