However, soon after we got dual-core CPUs and 2GB RAMs and over the years these numbers have only grown, giving us eight-core monsters such as Qualcomm¡¯s Snapdragon 888. And now, a phone by ZTE becomes the first-ever phone to offer 18GB of RAM -- the highest in a smartphone.
The device is named ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Aerospace Edition. Launched only in China, for now, this special edition smartphone is essentially a tribute to the spirit of space exploration as well as Chinese astronauts who have spent hours in space, developing their newest space station, ¡®Tianhe¡¯, which means Harmony of the Heaven.
The smartphone gets a 6.67-inch FHD+ curved AMOLED panel with support for HDR10+. The device also has a refresh rate of 144Hz.
Taking a peek under the hood, you¡¯ll find the device powered by the mighty powerful Snapdragon 888 paired with the gargantuan 18GB RAM and 1TB of storage space.

For selfies, you get a humble 16-megapixel shooter. Powering the whole device is a 4,600mAh battery and supports 65W fast charging capabilities.
And with all the bells and whistles, comes a hefty price tag, with the special Aerospace Edition ZTE Axon 30 Ultra priced at 6,998 Yuan, which is around Rs 82,000. In comparison, a non-special ZTE Axon 30 Ultra with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage sells for 4,698 Yuan which is around Rs 55,000.
