“the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is the new king of RAM and storage, offering 16GB of RAM across all its variants, including the 1TB model. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 (1TB) is the ultimate foldable for power users, but only if you choose its 1TB storage version to get the 16GB of RAM. The Galaxy S25 Ultra remains a phenomenal device with massive 1TB storage, but it is equipped with 12GB of RAM as standard.”
Summary
The Galaxy S26 Ultra provides 16 GB of RAM only on its 1 TB model; its 256 GB and 512 GB variants have 12 GB. There is no current evidence that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 1 TB version includes 16 GB of RAM. The Galaxy S25 Ultra ships with 12 GB of RAM as standard, with optional RAM‑Plus features. Consequently, the overall claim is inaccurate.
