Samsung confirms Galaxy S25 series uses Micron RAM and storage

Samsung has many subsidiaries, many of which manufacture components used in mobile devices. So it is usually expected that its phones will feature the components it manufactures. However, that isn't always the case as Samsung sometimes has to use components from rival companies in its products. The Galaxy S25 (available on Amazon for $799.99) series is a perfect example as it features key components from rival companies.

One of Samsung's subsidiaries is Samsung Semiconductor which manufactures RAM and storage. However, it didn't supply the RAM and storage used in the Galaxy S25 series. It turns out that these two important components were supplied by its rival, Micron Technology, and the info comes from Micron itself.

According to a post made on X by the American company, it supplied the LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.0 storage used in the Galaxy S25 series. The post adds that these two components allow for top-notch AI capabilities and power efficiency. They also help users keep their data secure.

The post by Micron was also quoted by the official Samsung Mobile account, with the Korean giant expressing its gratitude to Micron for helping (to) make the Galaxy S25 series even more powerful.

Prior to the official confirmation by Micron and Samsung, it was revealed back in January that Samsung would not use its own memory chips in the Galaxy S25 phones due to overheating issues which affected the performance of the devices.

It was also stated then that Samsung will turn to Micron to supply these components for the initial volume of the Galaxy S25 series. This means, future production batches might actually have Samsung's own memory and storage chips. It has also been reported that this is the first time Samsung is turning to a rival for these specific components as previous Galaxy flagships are equipped with Samsung's own memory and storage chips.
