Samsung LPDDR5X DRAM will power the future of Mobile AI
Samsung begins mass production of LPDDR5X DRAM aiming for future Mobile AI. The company officially announced that it has started mass production of the world’s thinnest 12nm-class 12GB and 16GB LPDDR5X DRAM packages.
By optimizing PCB and epoxy molding compound techniques, the new Samsung LPDDR DRAM package is as thin as a fingernail at 0.65mm. Samsung’s optimized back-lapping process is also used to minimize the package height.
Thanks to its extensive expertise in chip packaging, Samsung is capable of delivering ultra-slim LPDDR5X DRAM packages. It can create additional space within mobile devices, facilitating better airflow, and potentially improving on-device AI tasks.
With the new LPDDR5X DRAM, Samsung offers the industry’s thinnest 12nm-class LPDDR DRAM in a 4-stack structure, reducing the thickness by approximately 9% and improving heat resistance by about 21.2% over the previous generation.
This supports easier thermal control, a factor that is becoming increasingly critical, especially for high-performance applications with advanced features such as on-device AI. Meanwhile, Samsung hasn’t confirmed which devices will ultimately use the new DRAM.
“Samsung’s LPDDR5X DRAM sets a new standard for high-performance on-device AI solutions, offering not only superior LPDDR performance but also advanced thermal management in an ultra-compact package,” said YongCheol Bae, Executive Vice President of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics.
Earlier, the Korean tech giant unveiled the next generation of DRAM technology. We guess the Galaxy S25 series could use Samsung’s new LPDDR5X DRAM. It is slated to bring significant improvement to on-device AI capabilities.

Samsung may debut the world’s first rollable screen smartphone in 2025. This comes after the Huawei Mate XT launch which became the first tri-fold device. The company is reportedly gearing up to commence the rollable mobile era.
According to TheElec, Samsung may launch its rollable screen phone in as early as 2025. The device could sport a 12.4-inch panel, reaching the laptop’s screen size. It will be Samsung’s answer to Huawei, countering its tri-fold device.
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 expands to 7.6 inches when unfolded. Going a step further, the Huawei’s tri-fold measures 10.2-inch when entirely unfolded. Beyond that, the Galaxy rollable will likely boast a 12.4-inch screen.
In addition to a massive rollable screen, Samsung’s innovative gadget is said to feature an under-display camera. It will be another upgrade over the Huawei’s Mate XT which has a punch-hole camera for selfies and video calling.
Samsung has been working on several innovative screen technologies. The company’s Display division also showcased rollable and tri-fold prototypes at key events. However, some of the unique innovations haven’t yet been commercialized.
Motorola also showcased its rollable screen concept device. Meanwhile, there’s no information regarding its arrival or tentative launch timeline. Samsung will be the first to debut with a rollable screen phone if any other rival doesn’t enter it.
Apple is also preparing to enter the foldable device market by the end of 2026. Seeing the entry of its biggest rival, the Korean tech giant would surely push the game. Therefore, an innovative produce offering is inevitable from Samsung soon.
