The recent "price freeze" on the Galaxy S25 series has generated some buzz leading up to the official Unpacked event. However, it appears the excitement might be short-lived, particularly for enthusiasts in the US and Europe. A well-known social media leaker has reportedly shared that the highly anticipated Galaxy S25 Ultra with 16GB RAM is likely exclusive to a select few Asian markets.

Is 12GB RAM Still Sufficient Today?
The Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus will feature 12GB RAM, a memory count that Samsung deems adequate for most users. Despite a generally positive response from current S24 Ultra users, rapid advancements in AI technology might change the expectations of potential buyers.
While most S24 Ultra owners seem satisfied, the tech landscape is evolving swiftly, pushing individuals to consider whether more RAM may soon be essential. Google’s recent inclusion of 16GB RAM in the new Pixel 9 Pro and its variants further emphasizes this trend.
Brands like OnePlus have merged RAM options with competitive features, offering models that reach up to 24GB RAM, sparking a conversation around Samsung's decision with the S25 Ultra.
All in all, it is disheartening for potential buyers to hear that the anticipated Ultra variant of the Galaxy S25 may skip the US and Europe, especially given the previous release patterns of the Galaxy S21 Ultra.
