Galaxy S27 Ultra may feature LPDDR6 RAM with first Pro Snapdragon chip
Samsung may equip the Galaxy S27 Ultra with LPDDR6 RAM, thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset. A new leak sheds light on support for next-gen DRAM technology when paired with the upcoming Qualcomm chip.
LPDDR5X is the refined, high-performance memory standard, which delivers fast data rates, solid efficiency gains, and enough bandwidth to handle demanding tasks like gaming, 4K video, and multitasking.
LPDDR6 represents a more meaningful shift, bringing higher speeds, significantly improved bandwidth, and a redesigned sub-channel architecture. These changes allow data to move more efficiently across the system.
It also pushes efficiency further with smarter power management. Simply put, LPDDR5X feels like a polished peak of the current generation, while LPDDR6 is being built as the backbone for the next wave of mobile computing.
Advanced RAM may result in higher component costs. Prices of DRAM and NAND flash memory have already skyrocketed. The next wave of memory components may cost even more than the present iteration.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro
Qualcomm is working on two variants of its next Snapdragon: standard and Pro. There will be a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro. Samsung may utilize the latter in the S27 Ultra for peak performance.
It was recently revealed that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chips could feature a tri-cluster architecture with a 2+3+3 setup. That said, there could be two price cores, three performance cores, and three efficiency cores inside.
Samsung is also working on Exynos 2700 and even the Exynos 2800. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S27 Ultra may exclusively use a Qualcomm chip. The non-Ultra models may utilize even more Exynos than the S26 series does this year.
