Smartphones with 10GB of RAM are fairly new to the commercial market but Lenovo is ready to up the ante with its Z5 Pro GT smartphone with a whopping 12GB of RAM. Announced at a recent event in Beijing, the new Android-powered devices will also feature 512GB of storage and Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 855 chipset. All of these technical specs put the phone far beyond any contemporary offerings.
