memory prices not stabilizing until 2027

On top of this, US dollar reaches ₹90, component imports will become more expensive, pushing prices up even further

We’re already seeing price hikes:

OPPO, Vivo, and Samsung have increased prices on several mid-range phones by ₹1,000–₹2,000

The main reason is AI

Chipmakers are prioritizing high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI servers and data centers instead of standard DRAM used in smartphones

This shift is creating a shortage of smartphone-grade RAM, driving up component costs

As a result, phone makers are being forced to either cut RAM configurations or raise prices

AI demand for specialized memory is pulling semiconductor production away from smartphones, leading to 20–30% price hikes in high-end DRAM and memory components

Samsung is increasing memory costs to partners by over double. The company has also increased the price of older DDR4 memory too

Samsung May Halt EVO SATA SSD Production

Companies like TSMC, Samsung, and SK Hynix are prioritizing AI infrastructure, which now consumes around 40% of global DRAM output, reducing supply for mobile phones.

The incident was captured on a security camera

realme 16 Pro+ (RMX5131) indeed has a very similar SoC like Snapdragon 7 Gen 4‼️

⚡️ Same clock speed
⚡️ Same GPU

So, it could be another variant of SD 7 Gen 4 with very minor tweaks, as realme is saying better than 7 Gen 4
