ZTE Axon 30’s 20GB RAM Makes it the First Android Smartphone to Carry One

ZTE Axon 30's up to 20GB RAM support makes the latest flagship smartphone of the Chinese giant the first Android mobile device to carry such a feat.

ZTE Axon 30 5G

The ZTE Axon 30 5G officially launched last July 28, boasting its improved under-display selfie camera--which is still the only smartphone to feature one--alongside its Snapdragon 870.

The Axon smartphone series has been heralded for its introduction of a seamless fullscreen display experience. It is due to the absence of the punch hole or notch provisions that other counterparts use for their cameras and sensors.

It is worth noting that the Chinese giant initially introduced the under-display selfie shooter last December 21, 2020, via the ZTE Axon 20.

However, some users and critics complained that the camera does not take impressive photos. Thus, the phone maker boasted the improvements for its successor.

ZTE Axon 30 5G's 20GM RAM Support

During the launch, ZTE mentioned that its latest flagship is introducing a way to increase the RAM capacity by up to 5GB, using the storage space of the device via the next-generation fusion tech.

Nevertheless, the Chinese phone maker issued a new update involving the expansion of the RAM support of the Axon 30 5G, saying that it could now go up to 20GB.

It is made possible by the aforementioned fusion tech, which uses the idle ROM of the Android smartphone.

As per PhoneArena, ZTE announced that the additional memory could reach up to 8GB, making the 12GB LPDDR5 memory of the flagship handset go up to a total of 20GB.

GizChina further noted that fusion tech in other smartphone brands could only possibly go up to 5GB, but the ZTE device impressively squeezed in another 3GB.

Thus, the tech that utilizes the additional idle storage of the Axon 30 marked another milestone for the phone maker, as it became the first Android phone to achieve such RAM support.

The under-screen selfie shooter that the Axon 30 highlights is at 16MP, whereas the rear camera with an LED flash carries is 64MP. Meanwhile, the phone further features an 8MP Ultra Wide snapper, a 5MP macro, as well as a 2MP depth sensor.

Under the hood of the device, the Axon 30 comes with a built-in MyOS11 that carries an Android 11 underneath. Plus, the Octa-Core Snapdragon 870 with 7nm SoC powers the flagship device, contrary to earlier reports saying that the ZTE device is getting a Snapdragon 888.

Lastly, the flagship also sports a 6.92 inch Full HD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate that provides a fullscreen experience, thanks to the under-display front-facing camera.
