We have seen phones launch with 12GB, 16GB RAM and even 18GB RAM over the past few years and now reports suggest the next target for phone makers is to launch phones with 24GB RAM.

If you were wondering whether the RAM craze with phones is over, it is clearly not. In fact the stakes are just going higher, and as per new leaks this week, 24GB RAM-powered phones will soon be making their way to the market.

Brands like OnePlus and Oppo are the expected names making the rounds and considering what they already offer in the market, we won’t be surprised to see OnePlus launch its phones with 24GB RAM in the near future. The post from the tipster says that 24GB RAM will be the highest model from one of these companies, with the likes of Realme also likely to have a role in this evolution.

Most of you might say that phones with 12GB and 16GB are already an overkill as you still don’t have a major use case where the bulk of the phone’s memory is used for performance boost. The RAM on a phone helps you with improved multi-tasking and allows you to open multiple tabs and use them seamlessly at the same time.

All this has become a piece of cake ever since phones have launched with 8GB and 12GB RAM. So what purpose does 24GB RAM on phones serve other than competing in the numbers game for these brands? Apple has shied away from this competition, simply because iOS has been optimised to run the same way on all its iPhones. But with Android as fragmented as it is, the RAM equation works differently for these phone makers.

In fact, you could make a similar case for the charging battle these days, wherein brands are pushing the W levels from 80W, 100W to 200W or even 300W in some cases. Either way, we are eager to see how these popular brands explain their reason to bring 24GB RAM to phones, and how exactly will that benefit or improve the performance of phones that are already quite capable.
