Earlier on, we have introduced about an on-progress project, in which Samsung will be mass producing a new chip that support up to 6GB RAM for smartphones. This new chip will bring certain advantages for future smartphones launched in 2016. (For detailed information about the 6GB RAM chip developed by Samsung, please refer to our previous article here)
