    LoL, we got Oppo Find X9 Pro with 16GB of RAM here in Europe.
    How can Samsung compete with its 12GB of RAM?

      Hopely Samsung S26 Ultra more lighter and RAM have 15Gb Memory 1 TB.

        gozdii, 18 Nov 2025Whats the point of having 16GB of RAM? I'm pretty sure... moreFrom than S26 Ultra is casual and entire S26 series is casual? 🤣 You paying top price for them. 16GB or go home very simple. 12GB is not acceptable anymore in 2025.

          Just pathetic. Going backwards. 12GB RAM in modern flagship it's abysmal. 16GB of RAM was already norm back in 2023.

                      Out of 8 GB ram, 5 is occupied, pretty normal. All newer one ui versions are just trash.

                            yay "will make people choose an S26 with 12GB over a Chinese device with 16GB." it gives us consumers very neede "upgrade"

                              gozdii, 18 Nov 2025Whats the point of having 16GB of RAM? I'm pretty sure... moreBecause samsung's BloatUI is incredibly resource intensive. You need at the very least 8GB of ram to even have a chance of it running it with any amount of stability. Also all the useless AI gimmicks require a ton of ram to function properly

                                So 128 base finally gone for phone without microSD? Interesting how price for base model goes up too. And if Samsung bring some useful codecs and protocols for Bluetooth (not only "amazing" codecs to tie you to their ecosystem). Like is LC3 with full TMAP protocol can be done there?

                                  Hope s27+ gets 1tb/16gb version. And a little faster charging.

                                    Boiling hot take: 12gb of RAM is still OK for a flagship smartphone in 2026. Especially with memory costs soaring, this is the best way for Samsung to be able to maintain their price parity with Apple. Most AI features are still going to be running in the cloud, so you won't miss out on much.

                                      Don't know what people expected of Samsung. I mean, they won't even upgrade the hardware that matters to more people smh

                                        Cpt.Power, 18 Nov 2025Unless they wont start give atz least 24GB ram its useless.... moreYes that's right
