Samsung is bringing new 12nm memory chips that will be available in 12GB and 16GB, which was seen as a hint at a possible 16GB RAM for the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
In early August, Samsung announced that it was starting to manufacture the world's thinnest mobile memory chips, designed for on- device artificial intelligence functionality .

Samsung announced that its new 12nm memory chips will be available in 12GB and 16GB options, which was taken as a hint at a possible 16GB RAM for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The last Samsung phone to have that much memory was the Galaxy S21 Ultra from 2021.
But now a tweet from arguably one of the most reliable sources for Samsung, Ice Universe (@UniverseIce), shared on X that the S25 Ultra "will definitely have the 16GB RAM version," adding that "this is 100% confirmed."

So, suffice it to say, given Samsung's announcement of its new memory chip and Ice Universe's claims, the possibility of a Galaxy S25 Ultra with 16GB of RAM is high. In reality, however, it probably won't be particularly noticeable during regular use of the phone, as the Galaxy S24 Ultra is already more than capable with its 12GB of RAM.
Of course, as with this year's Ultra, the S25 Ultra will likely have a large portion of its 16GB of memory reserved for on- device, but it may be able to process them faster than cheaper models with 12GB of RAM (if any).

For now, we only expect the Ultra to come with the memory increase, while the standard Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus will likely remain at 12 GB.
