Galaxy S6 carrying DRAM capacity up to 3GB, soothing Q2 DRAM price decline.

Say goodbye to the Galaxy S4 and S5 sales of recession, this year's MWC Samsung launched its flagship Galaxy S6 and double Galaxy S6 Edge, which S6 Edge double curve side of the screen to become the largest suction eye focus, while the other parts of the specifications compared to Galaxy S5 also has improved. Trend Force smartphone analyst Wu-ya Ting said, because the launch of Samsung's specifications so that the public stunning, S6 and S6 Edge better than expected second quarter shipments will grow more than 5 million, driven by annual shipments of 55 million raised to support level , compared to the original estimate shipments grew more than 20%.

Wu-ya Ting said that, Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge memory using the latest generation of mobile memory LPDDR4, the capacity of 3GB. Currently three DRAM makers were really able to import production LPDDR4 Samsung Semiconductor manufacturers only one, so the Samsung Galaxy S6 models semiconductors for mobile only memory suppliers. Galaxy S6 high concern in the market, shipment forecast upward adjustment under the premise of Samsung handsets to the semiconductor sector has increased LPDDR4 department for pellet feeding. According to TrendForce's memory storage career at DRAMeXchange estimates of March throughout the second quarter, Samsung just part of the supply increase, the multi-cast films digest nearly 20K a month, and in addition to the existing mobile memory capacity and more is tight, but also a little too much to digest the current standard memory capacity.

On the other hand, by the next Galaxy S6 models shipped better than expected impact, DRAMeXchange estimates in the second quarter of mobile memory decline has slowed down, quarter decline may be less than 3%. The third quarter benefited from the introduction of new aircraft and iPhone MediaTek new platform MT6735, will bring long-lost smartphone Distribution tide, mobile memory prices will be more stable.

As part of standard memory, in the capacity of marginalized expected quarter decline is likely to shrink from the original forecast of 7-9 per cent to close to 5%. In addition to Samsung, the other 810 chip powered by Qualcomm's flagship models include millet Note (top version 4GB) and HTC One M9 (3GB) also uses LPDDR4 solutions. Wu-ya Ting said that, Galaxy S6 shipments enhance DRAM prices will slow the decline in value of the magnitude of the off-season, but also advance the battle unfold LPDDR4 supplier prelude.
