There have already been some rumours in circulation that the Galaxy S8 could pack up to 8GB of RAM onboard, but as of January 9 major memory manufacturer SK Hynix has announced its new "LPDDR4X" RAM chip which some sources say may be the one Samsung uses in its 2017 flagship.
The architecture uses two 8 Gigabit RAM modules stacked in a dual-channel configuration, equalling 64 Gigabits, aka 8GB of DRAM. The setup takes up 30% less space inside the phone shell than current LPDDR4 memory while also being 20% more battery efficient, according to SK Hynix.
Korean publication The Investor states that the chip may be destined for both Apple and Samsung's 2017 flagships; "SK hynix’s new memory chip is expected to be used in Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and Apple’s iPhone 8, which are forecast to be released in April and September, respectively, this year."
