RAM prices have exploded in recent months owing to demand from AI-related companies. Unfortunately, this has resulted in various tech products seeing price increases, too.<\/p>\n

Smartphones aren\u2019t immune to this trend, either. The recently launched Galaxy S26 phones have seen price hikes, while OPPO, vivo, and OnePlus have all announced price increases in China.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only a matter of time until more phones are affected by these price hikes, particularly in global markets. Here are a few notable Android phones that might be ruined by this RAM crisis.<\/p>\n

Motorola Razr (2026)<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Motorola is the top foldable phone maker in the US, accounting for nearly 50% of the market according to the IDC. That\u2019s in large part due to phones like the competitively priced Razr (2025). The Razr (2026) is on the horizon, but I\u2019m worried that it\u2019ll be ruined by ballooning RAM and component prices.<\/p>\n

The Razr (2025) launched at $699, but still delivered plenty of notable features. This includes a large cover display with fantastic software, a solid rear camera pairing, an IP48 rating (up from IPX8 in 2024), a 4,500mAh battery, and 15W wireless charging.<\/p>\n

However, I\u2019m concerned that Motorola could offer minimal upgrades or even downgrades to maintain that competitive price tag. I really hope it doesn\u2019t downgrade the already middling Dimensity 7400X chipset. The other possibility is that Motorola hides a price hike behind some upgrades, as we saw with the base Galaxy S26.<\/p>\n

Google Pixel 11<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The base Pixel 10 was a significant release for Google, as it was the first Tensor-powered base Pixel with a telephoto camera. Despite that, Google maintained the Pixel 9\u2019s $799 price tag. Will the base Pixel 11 stay at…<\/p>\n
