Update to ZTE Axon 30 makes it the first Android phone with 20GB of RAM

An update released on Friday by ZTE increased the amount of RAM on the Axon 30 by 8GB to reach a total of 20GB. The technology uses some of the phone's idle ROM for RAM operations. With the 8GB of virtual RAM added to the 12GB of LPDDR5 memory that comes with the handset, the Axon 30 becomes the first Android phone to carry 20GB of RAM.

The ZTE Axon 30 features a 6.92-inch OLED display sporting an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2460 and an aspect ratio of 20.5:9. The phone's screen updates 120 times each second making for a buttery smooth scrolling experience with improved animations. Under the hood is the 7nm Snapdragon 870 chipset and the version with 20GB RAM features 256GB of storage (UFS 3.1).
