Over the years, manufacturers have increased the RAM in their phones, especially flagships. A lot of flagship phones start at 8GB and go up to 12GB RAM. This year, we will even see phones launch with 16GB of RAM. Ahead of the launch of the Mi 10 series, CEO of Xiaomi, Lei Jun, has revealed that the Mi 10 will start at 8GB RAM.
This is important news as last year’s Mi 9 has a 6GB RAM base model with 64GB of storage. For this year’s Mi 10, the base model will have 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
In a Weibo post made today, the company executive said most users want to buy flagship phones with 8GB or more of RAM, based on the result of a poll he conducted that showed 94% of users want more memory. “Thus this year’s Mi 10 will not have a 6GB RAM + 128GB version but start at 8GB of LPDDR5 memory,” he said.
Even if users were to request for 6GB RAM, it would not be possible as it has been reported that Micron cannot manufacture a 6GB LPDDR5 RAM.
It has also been reported that Lei Jun’s response to a question asking if there will be an 8GB + 64GB version is “There will be no such configuration”.
Based on the above, the Mi 10 series are expected to be available in the following configurations:
- 8GB RAM + 128GB
- 8GB RAM + 256GB
- 12GB RAM + 512GB
- 16GB RAM + 512GB
