A few rumors have clamored that Samsung intends to keep several areas of the Galaxy S25 Ultra unaltered compared to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but the specifications bit might be another story.
One tipster mentions that the Korean giant will finally introduce a RAM upgrade to its top-end flagship in 2025, but the internal storage might not change.
Like the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to ship with 256GB internal storage for the base model Samsung may have realized that several Chinese smartphone brands are eating into its shipments, negatively impacting its global market share, which is why Sawyer Galox has mentioned on X that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will see its RAM count increased to 16GB.
Samsung did introduce a 16GB RAM version with early flagship models, such as the Galaxy S20 Ultra and the Galaxy S21 Ultra, but went in the opposite direction with the newer handsets.
The company did not formally provide a reason for taking a step back in the specifications department, but it may have to do with increased component costs.
