Samsung may cut Galaxy phone output by 30% on memory costs

Samsung is reportedly planning to reduce Galaxy smartphone production by up to 30% by late 2026, according to Korean media cited by 9to5Google and Wccftech. The main reason is skyrocketing memory prices: the cost of 12GB RAM has climbed 175% since last year, hammering profits for Samsung's smartphone division. Some models may still be profitable, but overall, reports say the business is operating at a loss.

Why it mattersMemory prices are squeezing even Samsung—despite being a top memory maker itself. If the world's largest Android phone brand is struggling to turn a profit, expect further price hikes or fewer upgrades in future models.
