Summary
Samsung is now rumored to leave LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage out of the Galaxy S27 Ultra, reversing earlier expectations that at least the Ultra would get the next-gen parts.
Lanzuk says the shift reflects cost pressure and limited supply, with LPDDR6 and UFS 5.0 more likely reserved for low-volume “limited edition” flagships from other brands.
UFS 5.0 had been expected to lift sequential speeds to 10.8GB per second, but Samsung reportedly worries the upgrade would raise both retail pricing and mass-production costs.
The pullback could extend beyond memory and storage, with online talk suggesting Samsung may freeze other major Galaxy S27 upgrades, including cameras and display materials.
