Galaxy S25 Series Specifications Disappointing
However, there is one thing that is regrettable about this announcement. It is the RAM capacity of the ultra model. With the news that the ultra models released in the U.S. and Europe will have 12GB of RAM, many users are disappointed. It is very regrettable that 12GB of RAM seems to have been confirmed in Korea except for the jet black model that is available in Samsung dotcom and Samsung Gangnam.
