Samsung has now officially discontinued the LPDDR4 and LPDDR4X RAM solutions. The company has placed a notice on its official website, which reads “This product has been discontinued.”

Recently, supply chain rumors claimed that Samsung is shutting down the production of LPDDR4 and LPDDR4X RAM. Mid-range and budget phones will now feature next-gen DRAM solutions such as LPDDR5 and LPDDR5X.

Rising demand for AI memory led DRAM and NAND flash prices to go up significantly. Samsung has revamped its legacy production lines. The facilities will now produce LPDDR5 series RAMs, rather than LPDDR4.

Additional rumors suggest the Korean tech giant could utilize LPDDR6 RAM in the Galaxy S27 Ultra next year. The product doesn’t officially exist, but it’s in the product pipeline and even teased by Samsung officials.

Utilization of LPDDR5 series DRAMs could lead OEMs to pass increased costs to consumers. It’s a win for consumers, but they might be required to pay more.

The newer generation of RAM would result in better processing and faster execution. It could also improve the battery life and thermal behaviour, given the generational edge.

At present, Samsung has LPDDR5 and LPDDR5X RAM along with UFS 4.0 and UFS 3.1 NAND flash memory chips. UFS 5.0 is also in the works, which could be seen in the S27 Pro and Ultra models in the year 2027.
