Reballed Memory Hits 9% of Smartphones by 2027

Rising DRAM prices drive smartphone makers to use reballed memory, with TrendForce estimating this reused component will account for 3, 4% of devices in 2026 before reaching 7, 9% in 2027. Currently, 4GB LPDDR4X chips from handsets under CNY 1,299 form the bulk of the reclaimed supply, though higher costs may push adoption into pricier models despite quality risks.
