Leaked OnePlus 5 screenshot points at 8GB RAM

05 May 2017
We're still on the fence whether we believe it - OnePlus 3T already has more RAM than early 2017 flagships.

Sort by:

I am just worried about oneplus 3T as like oneplus 2, they will stop supporting op3t, I won't be surprised if it doesn't get oreo :/, pls oneplus improve that, or may have to rely on custom roms not much good are out for op3t right now

    That 8GB RAM better be managed well
    Given the 3T still reloads sometimes, I have bigger hopes for another flawless multitasking here

    This phone has 2GB more than twice the RAM of my 2007 Windows 7™ Ultimate PC, yet I can open any number of stuff and none will reload at all

      2u2, 05 May 2017If so then why companies add more ram to their flagships ar... moreBecause Android, and even iOS becomes more RAM demanding each year
      Remember back when Xperia flagships with only 3GB RAM have flawless multitasking? Now those running on Marshmallow won't even keep 1 of 15-20 apps (given they're random with intensive apps, games, basic stuff, etc.)

      Great RAM Management doesn't just rely on RAM capacity, but more importantly how the software take advantage of it and play with that capacity.
      For instance, 6GB of RAM is more than enough to handle Nougat with so many apps without reloading any single of it, yet XZs carrying only 4GB of RAM handles multitasking even better

      Even Google themselves can't manage a perfect multitasking as the one themselves who created the OS - easily losing to the XZs

          XZs has 4GB of RAM, XZ has 3GB of RAM
          And he's right, XZs destroys the 3T in multitasking

I'm the one of those owners of OnePlus 3T, but my Z3 still kicking and I love it. If I were rich I 'd get XZs' slo-mo camera coz I like snowboarding....

              Frequent software update, clean UI, brisk response, headphone jack unlockable bootloader, yadda yadda...
              I prefer Sony, but OnePlus has gotten everything right since OnePlus 3.
              I hope they broaden the availability so that penetrate isheep-infested countries.

                Tann Hauser, 05 May 2017Just nope. XZs with 4gb ram outclasses OP3T with 6 gb ram... moreThat is a complete lie because OP3 and OP3T with the later actualizations have better multitasking than Xperia XZ. Please conform yourself because OPT3T and the future OP5 are or will be better products than your beloved Sony Xperia XZ. And for better prices. Sony is finished, is over.

                    Pointless. Whats the point of having more battery draining ram when software optimization is the key to a superior lag free experience? Just look at Apple....I own a 6s with a measly 2 Gb ram and have yet to see the slightest lag/stutter. Software!!!

What makes a flagship is a stellar performance, a good camera, a premium build and all those things. Basically being the best at what every phone can do. That's what Oneplus trying to aim from the very start : delivering a flagship grade phone with almost half the price of other flagship.

                            8gb on phone is utter nonsense, as 6 gb already is.
                            No really, utter. For people easily impressed with nonsens numbers

                                To be frank, I rather have 8GB RAM than a lousy pointless gimmicky curve screen on that Samsung S8.

                                  At least this one has more ram (SD835 is exynos 8890 level of performance so it's nothing exciting).

In this world OP3 won handily those phones (and basically any 2016 phone). Not having to reload your apps is huge in every day performance, much more I portant than loading times (you only load once in those phones).
