OnePlus 3 is the first widely available smartphone to feature 6 GB of RAM

OnePlus today announced its fourth smartphone - the OnePlus 3, which succeeds the OnePlus 2 and OnePlus One, and joins the OnePlus X in the company's line-up of attractive, yet affordable devices.

Available to buy starting today in many markets around the world, the OnePlus 3 costs $399 (or €399 in Europe), and offers a set of features that's impressive at this price, including a Snapdragon 820 processor, 64 GB of internal memory, and 6 GB of RAM. While there are plenty of other handsets with Snapdragon 820 CPUs and 64 GB of storage space out there, you'll have a hard time to find one with 6 GB of RAM. In fact, the only smartphone with 6 GB of RAM that can be bought right now is the Vivo Xplay 5. However, the Vivo phone is available only in China, so the OnePlus 3 is the first global handset to offer this insane amount of RAM (as you may know, most Android flagships currently have 4 GB of RAM).

We must note that, besides OnePlus and Vivo, Asus and ZTE also announced smartphones with 6 GB of RAM: the ZenFone 3 Deluxe and the Axon 7, respectively. Both these devices were officially unveiled last month, but they haven't been released anywhere yet.
