| 2Q26 Mobile DRAM contract price updated on 5/4/2026, click here for details. | ||
Smartphone Mobile DRAM contract prices are maintaining their strong upward momentum in 2Q26. Samsung and Micron were the first to issue quotes, whereas SK hynix and CXMT have only provided tentative pricing so far, with final negotiations expected to conclude in May. Following steep price hikes for two consecutive quarters in 1H26, smartphone brands are finding these cost pressures increasingly difficult to absorb. Consequently, not only are 2026 smartphone production targets facing downward revisions, but brands may also fail to fulfill their previously negotiated LTA bit procurement volumes. Looking ahead, as AI servers continue to crowd out production capacity, smartphone brands must optimize their memory requirements at the software and system architecture levels. This approach is essential for maintaining operational resilience while caught between soaring costs and softening end-market demand.
While most smartphone brands have not yet officially initiated price negotiations for 1Q26 mobile DRAM, market signals indicate that the upward trend will persist this quarter, with momentum exceeding that of the previous quarter. US-based clients have already finalized negotiations, while Chinese clients are expected to settle theirs after the Lunar New Year. With overall DRAM supply remaining tight, product profitability has become the decisive factor in securing resource allocation. On the end-market front, rising memory prices are causing a decline in smartphone and notebook shipments, as well as extending replacement cycles. Facing this high-cost environment, brands are compelled to rethink their strategies to control BOM costs and maintain price competitiveness.
