It wasn't that long ago that 8GB of RAM was considered a pretty sizeable capacity, even for a computer. Now, phones with 8GB of RAM are a thing – in fact, phones are even starting to offer 10GB of RAM! While that's arguably an overkill, more RAM is never a bad thing, especially if you plan to keep your handset for several years. More RAM doesn't necessarily mean you're totally future proof, but it certainly helps.
If you're in the market for a phone with 8GB of RAM, you'll be happy to hear there are already quite a few of them to choose from — check out the five best ones below.
Samsung Galaxy Note 9
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 was announced in August and is currently one of the best smartphones you can get your hands on. We here at Android Authority named it the smartphone of the year. It comes with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, although a version with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is also available.
The flagship sports a 6.4-inch display with QHD+ resolution and is powered by the Snapdragon 845 or Exynos 9810 chipset, depending on the region. There's a dual-camera setup on the back with two 12MP sensors featuring dual aperture and scene recognition. It's IP68 rated for protection against water and dust, has an 8MP selfie snapper, and packs a massive 4,000mAh battery.

OnePlus 6T
The OnePlus 6T features 8GB of RAM paired with either 128 or 256GB of storage. However, a cheaper variant with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is also available.
The device sports a 6.41-inch Full HD+ display with a notch and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. It's powered by the Snapdragon 845 chipset and has a dual-camera setup at the back with 16 and 20MP sensors.

The flagship sports a large 6.39-inch screen with curved edges, similar to the ones found on the Galaxy S9 series. It has an in-display fingerprint scanner, a triple-camera setup on the back, and 3D facial recognition.
