Last year, Samsung’s semiconductor business struggled on several fronts. Much has been said about the company’s 3nm process issues that prevented the mass production of the Exynos 2500 SoC. However, there were also problems with its memory chips that were being outpaced by the competition. Now, it has been confirmed that the Galaxy S25 series does not use Samsung’s RAM and storage chips.

Micron supplies the Galaxy S25 series’ RAM and storage chips

Micron Technology and Samsung itself confirmed that the Galaxy S25 series uses both its LPDDR5X memory and its UFS 4.0 storage chips. The American company Micron is a direct rival of Samsung in the memory and storage chip segment. So, it must have been a huge financial blow for the South Korean giant to have had to turn to an external supplier for key components. The company already had to pay Qualcomm to include the expensive Snapdragon 8 Elite chip in all Galaxy S25 models instead of just the Ultra variant.
