Smartphones nowadays have more RAM than dedicated gaming computers, and last year we even saw a phone with 18GB of RAM – the amazing Asus ROG Phone 5 Ultimate Edition. The Chinese brand ZTE is not matching this with its new over-the-top phone edition, called the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Aerospace Edition.
Apart from the insane amount of RAM and the badass name, this phone comes with some serious Space connections. The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra Aerospace Edition celebrates the success of The China National Space Administration. The country’s space agency has successfully landed the Tianwen-1 craft on Mars, and also operates its own space station called Taingong.
And if you’re worried about this virtual RAM thing taking up precious storage space, the Aerospace Edition comes with up to 1TB of internal memory.
This virtual RAM trick will also apply to the non-Ultra, non-Aerospace ZTE Axon 5G – this model will also be able to hit 20GB with the help of 8GB of virtual RAM (in addition to its 12GB physical RAM capacity).
The phone will go on sale in China starting November 25 but the pricing remains a mystery. The normal ZTE Axon 30 Ultra costs CNY6,666 (a little over $1,000), so expect the Aerospace Edition to top that.
