Blogger reveals: Flash memory material prices have officially increased, and the storm of popularization of large memory has ended

[Gearbest Technology News]In the past few years, mobile phone manufacturers have been competing fiercely in imaging technology, charging speed and battery life. However, in the past two years, memory capacity has become a new focus of competition. Especially in 2023, the involution of mobile phone manufacturers in memory configuration has become more and more serious. The starting versions of many new models have already come standard with 12GB of running memory, and the highest configuration of storage space has reached an astonishing 1TB.

However, this trend seems to be about to be challenged. Recently, the well-known digital blogger @数码闲聊站 broke the news that the price of flash memory materials has officially risen, and the storm of large memory popularization has ended. It is difficult to see the top-end 24GB+1TB version in new mid-to-high-end models. Instead, 16GB+512GB and 16GB+1TB configurations will become the mainstream top-end specifications again.

Mobile phone manufacturers usually purchase flash memory materials from upstream suppliers. Once the supplier's material prices rise, the price of the mobile phone's memory version will naturally rise. Nevertheless, as the digital blogger pointed out, for most consumers, even the 16GB+512GB or 16GB+1TB memory versions are sufficient. After all, when buying a mobile phone, few consumers will choose the version with the largest memory. Even the memory configuration of the basic version is more than enough for daily use.

This change may be a little regrettable for those consumers who pursue extreme performance, but for most users, it will not affect their experience. In fact, with the optimization of applications and operating systems, and the increasing reliance on cloud storage services, large-capacity memory is no longer the only criterion for determining the quality of a mobile phone. Users are more concerned about the overall performance, user experience and cost-effectiveness of the mobile phone.

In addition, rising memory prices may also prompt mobile phone manufacturers to seek innovations in other areas, such as improving processor performance, improving cooling systems, enhancing camera functions, etc., thereby bringing users a more comprehensive upgrade experience.
