From OnePlus 5 to the recently launched Honor 8 Pro, here are the best smartphones with 6GB RAM in India.
As smartphones are getting smarter and smarter, the demands the device are increasing. Today, more than a brand, buyers also look at specifications of the smartphone, with the amount of RAM being one of them. A high RAM is automatically equated with better, lag-free performance and speed. Though the processor and the other hardware play an equal role, the conception that a higher RAM means a smoother experience has somehow stayed on. With manufacturers packing in higher and higher RAM in their devices, some of this year’s smartphones boast 6GB RAM or more.
While the 6GB RAM trend has just entered the Indian market, most of the devices that sport the high number are flagships and come at a price. However, many mid-range smartphones have also started providing higher RAM in their smartphones. The devices now come for as low as Rs 30,000. And while the trend is soon shifting to even higher 8GB RAM, there is still some time before the trend catches up in India. At this speed, smartphones will soon be able to match up to laptops and personal computers.
