Faster RAM in 2025 Android Phones May Give AI Edge Over iPhones
-
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset expected in 2025 Android phones may support faster LPDDR6 RAM, which the iPhone 16's A18 chip may not.
-
LPDDR6 RAM would allow smartphones to handle more AI tasks on the device rather than relying on the cloud.
-
On-device AI is faster, works offline, and raises fewer privacy concerns than cloud-based AI.
-
More on-device AI could allow the Galaxy S25 to have more AI skills than the iPhone 16.
-
Whichever brand gets LPDDR6 RAM support first could have an edge in smartphone AI capabilities.
