Scary: Galaxy S25 Ultra spotted with 8GB RAM, terrible performance
Samsung is working on the new Galaxy S flagship models for 2025. Recently, an alleged Galaxy S25 Ultra was spotted running a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip with 8GB RAM. It’s quite scary input, suggesting a terrible downgrade if true.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra was previously spotted with the upcoming Snapdragon chip with 12GB of RAM. The chipset frequency was different for the US and European models. However, the RAM paired with the SoC was 12GB.
The alleged S25 Ultra was benchmarked on Geekbench 6.3.0. The handset secured 1456 points and 6522 points in single-core and multi-core tests. These scores are quite scary as the 12GB model exceeded 3000 and 9000 points.
Fake listing?
It is indeed possible. Someone may have just trickled the model number to list a fake entry on Geekbench. We can’t assume Samsung could bring an 8GB variant of the Galaxy S25 Ultra as it’s not sufficient on the base model either.
Samsung will be using Snapdragon 8 Elite for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The phone will have at least 12GB of RAM, while a 16GB RAM option is also reportedly coming. If the 8GB RAM listing is genuine, we hope Samsung will abandon it.
The Korean tech giant is currently working on One UI 7, while the S25 series will come pre-loaded with One UI 7.1. There’s a remaining three months left in the launch, hence performance is expected to rise further with software optimization.
