Smartphone Performance Set to Surge with New LPDDR6 Memory Standard
WARSAW, POLAND – The next generation of smartphones is poised for a important speed boost thanks to the forthcoming LPDDR6 memory standard, promising data transfer rates exceeding 10,667 Gb/s.The specification, published by JEDEC in July 2025, could appear in flagship devices as early as the Samsung galaxy S26 Ultra, alongside potential adoption by Oppo, Xiaomi, and Vivo.
This advancement in Random access Memory (RAM) technology directly impacts smartphone responsiveness, multitasking capabilities, and overall performance. Faster memory allows for quicker app loading, smoother gaming experiences, and improved efficiency in demanding tasks like video editing and augmented reality. While it remains uncertain which manufacturers will first integrate LPDDR6, industry analysts predict its widespread adoption will become crucial for competing in the high-end smartphone market. Initial speeds will range from 10.667 Gb/s to 14.4 Gb/s, with future iterations targeting up to 17 Gb/s.
JEDEC, the international standards institution responsible for RAM specifications, detailed the LPDDR6 standard this past July. The new technology represents a significant leap forward, building upon existing LPDDR5 standards to deliver increased bandwidth and reduced power consumption. Potential devices slated to benefit from the upgrade include the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, Oppo Find X9 ultra, xiaomi 17 Ultra, and vivo X300 Ultra.
