Smartphones with 10GB of RAM are fairly new to the commercial market but [Lenovo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-legion) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/find-x5-pro) latest [Snapdragon 855 chipset](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-15s-pro). All of these technical specs put the phone far beyond any contemporary offerings.

The Z5 Pro GT smartphone also features a carbon-fiber-styled case and a unique sliding feature. The sliding nature of the phone reveals the selfie camera, as well as the speaker used to make phone calls. The phone also comes equipped with a 6.39-inch, 2,340x1,080 AMOLED screen, a 24/16-megapixel dual rear camera, a 16/8-megapixel selfie camera, a 3,350mAh battery and an in-display fingerprint scanner.
