Android phone has more RAM than a Macbook Pro

Both pretty silly for different reasons

The new Nubia RedMagic 8S Pro+ features support for up to 24GB of RAM -- the same amount of RAM found in a 13-inch top-spec M2 MacBook Pro.

Now while most people can't think of a use for more than 4GB of RAM on their phone the base model of the RedMagic 8S Pro+ starts with 16GB of RAM and can be upgraded to 24GB which is the most amount of memory ever in an Android phone.

It also comes with 1TB of storage which is a little more logical if you are taking lots of pictures or have a long trip with lots of movies to watch. This 24GB version of the phone appears to be a China-exclusive and costs $1,034, which is a lot for a phone in China.

Other specs include a new "Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2" variant, which appears to be the same higher-clocked version that Samsung gets for the S23. This runs at 3.36 GHz as opposed to the normal 3.2 GHz. There's a 6.8-inch, 120 Hz 2480x1116 OLED display and a 5000 mAh battery with a blazing-fast 165 W charging that can fully charge in 14 minutes.

The M2 MacBook Pro can manage 24GB of RAM too if it is maxed out but you will need a king's ransom to buy it and the increased memory is not much use either.
