Latest smartphones with 8GB to 12GB RAM

The amount of RAM included in smartphones has increased to a point where 6GB and 8GB RAM doesn’t turn heads anymore. Now, phones with 10GB and 12GB RAM are also a thing. While we are still pondering over what we can do with so much RAM, it’s never a bad thing to have more than you need. Who knows, maybe in the future, there could be applications and games that will demand more RAM. Presently, the minimum RAM you’d require to ensure smooth performance in general is 4GB. Anything above that is ensuring you have enough resources available should you need it while multitasking. More RAM also ensures your system doesn’t have to sacrifice resources to make a game run smoother. With at least 8GB RAM, you can swiftly minimise your game, make a call, take a photo and then go back to the game, while with 10GB RAM and above, you can actually keep your game minised for long hours. We do that regularly with the OnePlus 7 Pro where PUBG Mobile is kept pinned to the recents menu and loads straight to the lobby when we select the game.

If you’re in the market for a phone that can handle intensive tasks like gaming and multitasking, these are the 8GB, 10GB and 12GB RAM phones you should look at —

Smartphones with 12GB RAM

12GB is presently the most amount of RAM you can get in a smartphone. Presently, there are only a handful of phones that offer 12GB RAM but we expect this space to fill up as the year progresses.
