Samsung reportedly tests Micron 1γ LPDDR5X for Galaxy S27

Samsung Electronics is reportedly testing Micron's 1γ LPDDR5X memory for potential use in the Galaxy S27 family, according to DigiTimes Daily. The report says higher costs for advanced-process chips and the prospect of further mobile-DRAM price increases are influencing the company's supply decisions. If selected, the component would represent another instance of Samsung considering an external supplier for a flagship mobile-memory configuration. It would also reflect the importance of sourcing flexibility as advanced LPDDR pricing rises. The report describes testing rather than an approved design win. No final supplier decision, memory capacity, shipment volume, or product launch timing is confirmed, so the development should be treated as an early sourcing signal.
