Samsung is less than two months away from announcing its next-generation flagship smartphone. And several features of the upcoming device have leaked over the past few months. Some rumors claimed that Samsung would eventually upgrade the RAM on its high-end devices, but a new rumor negates those claims.
Galaxy S24 series phones will have the same RAM as the previous generation
According to what is usually reliable Tipster Ice Universe (@UniverseIce), the base Galaxy S24 only comes with 8GB RAM, with no option to upgrade memory on more expensive versions. However, the Galaxy S24+ also comes in a version with 12GB RAM, while the entry-level version still uses 8GB RAM. Rumors also say that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will continue to come with 8GB RAM in the entry-level model and 12GB RAM in high-spec mode.
If this information is correct, it doesn’t bode well for Samsung, at least from an optical standpoint. Consumers won’t like Samsung cutting costs and not offering additional RAM to its flagship smartphone lineup for the fourth year in a row. This comes as these devices are expected to offer on-device AI that requires more memory. It looks terrible, especially when compared to all the other smartphones from competing Android brands that come with 16GB RAM, or up to 24GB RAM in some models.
