The smooth operation of your smartphone is highly dependent on its built-in RAM. It is responsible for multitasking and keeping background tasks running smoothly. But if you thought 16GB of RAM on a smartphone was enough, OnePlus will make you think twice. The highest memory variant we've seen so far is the Asus ROG 6 Pro with 18GB of RAM. In light of a recent leak, it seems that your smartphone will come with more RAM than your computers. Continue reading to find out more.

Prominent tipster digital chat station revealed via Weibo that the next high-end OnePlus smartphone will come with 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM out of the box. And this trend will not only remain limited within the OnePlus range of devices. Manufacturers like Oppo, Realme, iQOO and all other brands under the BBK Electronics umbrella are expected to follow suit. The tipster further adds that the standardization of 24GB of memory on a smartphone means that the base variant will have 16GB of RAM as standard.

Based on this reveal, we can expect the OnePlus 12 slated to arrive at the end of this year to be the first device to come with 24GB of RAM. The OnePlus 12 may come with a 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz OLED 2K Samsung curved display and the advanced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. There may be a 5,000 mAh battery with support for 150W SUPERVOOC fast charging. The device will also carry Hasselblad branding for its 50MP Sony IMX9 primary camera with a 50MP wide-angle lens and a 64MP periscopic telephoto lens.

The upcoming OnePlus Ace 2 Pro might also be the first to get the huge RAM count but nothing is concrete right now. Eventually, other Chinese manufacturers were able to bring the same. While this seems like a big performance boost, especially for gaming, we're not sure if this is something we actually need!
