The OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition could have 10GB of RAM and 256GB of storage

Earlier this week, OnePlus blamed us with the announcement of its launch with performance car manufacturer McLaren for a launch on Dec. 11, and leaks indicating an edition of OnePlus 6T McLaren have now surfaced .

According to sources According to MySmartPrice, the supposed phone would have 10 GB of RAM and a considerable storage of 256 GB.

To date, the variant OnePlus 6T high-end consists of 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. precise, the amount of RAM would not only be a first for the company, but also a world first in a phone makes it one of the first phones in the world to offer after the launch of Mi Mix by Xiaomi 3 last month ( Tip: Ian S ).

The launch event scheduled for December 11th is called "Salute to Speed". A rumor suggests to see a device with 10 GB of RAM. Not too surprising – however, we wonder if it's really necessary.

Tons of RAM, but is it necessary?

While increasing RAM improves multitasking, heavy tasks and helps devices avoid bottlenecks in performance, smartphones have a higher limit than they do. can do.

Some of the best performing smartphones from 2018 only 4GB of RAM (handsets such as iPhone XS, XS Max, Google Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL and Samsung Galaxy S9) and our in-depth reviews of these combined show that there is no obvious performance defect.

Galaxy S9 Plus (6GB) and Galaxy Note 9 (8GB) have more RAM, but only Xiaomi has reached the 10GB mark so far.

With the 4 GB still prevalent in flagship fixtures, it is obvious that if OnePlus speeds up with 10 GB in the OnePlus 6T McLaren edition, that may not make a noticeable difference to the l? screen.

And if the 10GB of RAM will be a key selling point for a handset that will likely cost more than the high-end handset currently at $ 629 / £ 579 (as we have seen with the prices of Porsche and Lamborghini special editions of Huawei and Oppo, respectively) this can be difficult to justify.

Of course, this last rumor must be interpreted with a pinch of salt, because nothing is yet official, although it is one of the most credible leaks we have seen.
