OnePlus Two Will Be Among First Phones With 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM


OnePlus announced that its upcoming flagship device, the OnePlus Two, will come with 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM, beating most of its bigger competitors to a smartphone that has as much RAM as most mainstream notebooks.

Earlier this year, the Asus Zenfone 2 became known for being the first smartphone with 4 GB of RAM, and for being offered at a mid-range price, too. Many people appreciated its multi-tasking capabilities, which were enabled by having so much RAM available for the operating system.

OnePlus claimed that even with the improved power consumption, the OnePlus Two's RAM will still have a 32 GB/s bandwidth, which should be especially useful for slow-motion video, face recognition, and low-latency gaming.

The OnePlus CEO recently stated that the OnePlus 2 will cost under $450. That's about $150 higher than the original asking price of the OnePlus One ($299), but still lower than what most competing flagships go for.

The company promised to share all about the OnePlus Two on July 27, when the device is expected to launch.
