http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/07/samsung-3gb-phone-ram_620x340.jpgWe hope you weren't just getting used to having 2GB of RAM in a smartphone (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/03/lg-optimus-lte2-2gb-ram-true-hd/), because Samsung is already moving on. The company is now mass-producing 3GBLPDDR3 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/30/samsung-20nm-4gb-lpddr3-ram/) packages whose 0.8mm (0.03in) thickness can accommodate most device sizes. The capacious, 20nm-class memory should also be quick when there's a pair of symmetric channels to keep data flowing. The first smartphones with 3GB of RAM should ship in the second half of the year; Samsung isn't revealing which phones will have the honor, but it's not hard to make some educated guesses (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/28/samsung-official-confirms-note-III/).
