TL;DR Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 series is rumored to feature a RAM upgrade.
While the memory capacity remains unchanged from the Galaxy S25, we might see an upgrade in RAM speed.
With this, Samsung may be aiming to utilize the highest transfer speeds supported by its LPDDR5X RAM chips.
The Galaxy S26 has been leaking left, right, and center, and there’s no stopping. We’ve come to know virtually everything about the new phone series, even with at least two months left to Samsung’s grand Unpacked event.
While the Galaxy S26 may largely resemble the Galaxy S25 series, especially in terms of aesthetics, some of its internal components are likely to receive a significant upgrade. According to leaker Ice Universe, the Galaxy S26 series is slated to feature a minimum of 12GB of memory across its different models. While that specification is identical to the Galaxy S25’s RAM capacity, the upcoming flagship phones could feature faster memory.
Today’s leak is good news:

According to the leaker, the transfer speed of the Galaxy S26’s memory could increase to 10.7Gbps — up from the 9.6Gbps on the Galaxy S25, marking an upgrade of more than 10%. Notably, this change was previously only rumored for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, but it may now be extended across all models.
