Insider claims the Galaxy S26 line will ship with 10.7 Gbps LPDDR5X RAM and at least 12 GB, but questions remain over Exynos 2600 support and market parity.

Insider Ice Universe shared upbeat news for Samsung fans: the entire Galaxy S26 series, he said, will be equipped with the fastest RAM on the market — LPDDR5X rated at 10.7 Gbps — and that memory is already in mass production. The minimum configuration is said to be 12 GB, a shift that signals a noticeable performance bump over the current Galaxy S25 models.
There’s a wrinkle, though. Tech blogger Abhishek Yadav raised the question of whether the in-house Exynos 2600 can actually handle that level of bandwidth. The Snapdragon 8 Elite, after all, tops out at 9.67 Gbps, while full 10.7‑Gbps support appears only in the next generation, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
If the Exynos 2600 indeed can’t drive LPDDR5X at full speed, Galaxy S26 devices could end up with different memory behavior depending on the market. Samsung traditionally ships Exynos in Europe and South Korea and Snapdragon in the US and China, which once again brings the question of performance parity between versions to the surface.
Samsung has not commented on the leak. If the details hold, the Galaxy S26 family would become the brand’s first lineup with this new-generation memory — a change that promises not only a snappier interface but also the headroom to unlock the potential of upcoming flagship processors.
