Today's fact is that RAM prices have increased 400% compared to October 2025. SK Hynix and Samsung, the world's largest RAM manufacturers, have warned that the memory crisis will worsen in 2027. So be prepared for devices to be more expensive or even unavailable.
Recently, information leaker Kartikey Singh claimed that Chinese device manufacturers are considering canceling certain models or not offering their devices to the global market. According to him, the Xiaomi 18 Ultra has been canceled. Meanwhile, Oppo and Vivo will only market their Ultra devices in China.
The difficulty in obtaining RAM supplies is a factor in this drastic action. Especially when Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo's Ultra devices have received praise for their amazing photography capabilities this year.
Although it is still just a rumor, it is in line with reports that local RAM slots for 2027 at all memory manufacturers have been booked. Apple is also said to have postponed sales of the iPhone Ultra and it will only be offered in the United States due to a shortage of components.
What is certain is that if it happens to smartphones, it will definitely also happen to tablets, laptops, desktops and various other devices that require memory to function.
