DRAM Crisis: The Return of 4GB RAM Smartphones and microSD Slots

The DRAM shortage is reshaping the future of smartphones. In a recent report, TrendForce predicts a sharp rise in memory prices by Q1 2026, putting pressure on manufacturers. Smartphone makers are considering a comeback of 4GB RAM phones and microSD slots for storage expansion. This move is a response to rising costs and the need to reduce specifications. The impact is felt across the industry, with potential price hikes and strategy shifts. Apple, known for its profitability, may reevaluate iPhone pricing. Android manufacturers target mid-to-low-end segments, where RAM is a key differentiator, and face challenges in maintaining competitive pricing. High-end and mid-range smartphones may see reduced DRAM capacities, slowing upgrade cycles. Lower-end handsets are expected to return to 4GB RAM in 2026. Notebook makers also face adjustments, with potential price pressures and portfolio changes. Stay tuned as we explore the implications of the DRAM crisis and its impact on the tech industry.
