Samsung secures 2027 DRAM and HBM supply, potentially raising Galaxy S27 prices

Samsung has reportedly secured long-term supply contracts for a significant portion of its 2027 DRAM and HBM production, according to Yonhap News Agency. These five-year agreements are said to reserve approximately 70% of general DRAM and all of the HBM production for the year. This move is expected to drive substantial price increases for HBM, potentially by 150-200%, and double-digit growth for general DRAM in early 2027. The increased procurement costs could impact Samsung's mobile division, possibly leading to higher prices for the upcoming Galaxy S27 smartphone. AI

IMPACT Securing HBM production for AI data centers could influence the availability and cost of AI hardware.
