HBM chip prices are expected to jump between 150 and 200% next year, while DRAM prices are also expected to see a double-digit price increase in Q1 2027. All of this means that Samsung’s Device Solutions (DS) wing is raking in record profits riding the global memory chip shortage.

But it’s not all good news for Samsung users, as the rising RAM prices will almost certainly mean higher manufacturing costs and more expensive devices. Samsung’s mobile experience (MX) division will have to compete with Samsung Device Solutions (DS)’s clientele for the DRAM chips. So those Galaxy S27 series phones will almost certainly come with price hikes.
