In India, budget usually takes precedence over other specs when it comes to buying smartphones, regardless, all smartphone makers are squeezing in the best of specs offered at the most affordable prices. Recently, we have seen a rise in the trend of accommodating as much RAM as possible in a device, no matter what the price segment is.
For those looking for RAM monstrosities, we have compiled a list of the phones offering a whopping 6GB of RAM available in India.
Coolpad Cool Play 6
The first in the list has got to be the newly launched Coolpad Cool Play 6. This Chinese smartphone hit the Indian markets with the price tag of Rs. 14,999 and offers 6GB of RAM along with 64GB of internal storage.
Sporting a 5.5-inch display with Full-HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) resolution, the device is internally powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 653 processor. The handset houses dual 13MP rear camera setup while an 8MP camera sits on the front for selfies and video calls. The Cool Play 6 runs on Android 7.1.1 Nougat and is backed by a sturdy 4,000mAh battery.
OnePlus 5
The OnePlus 5 had created quite a stir when it hit the shelves and still remains quite popular among the masses for being a premium smartphone at a fairly affordable cost. The device is available in both 6GB and 8GB RAM versions and comes with 64GB of storage onboard.
Priced at Rs. 32,999, the 6GB variant features a 5.5-inch Full-HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) display and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset, under the hood.

Trusty Samsung had initially released its 2017 flagship Galaxy S8 Plus in India back in April with 4GB of RAM. However, the company introduced a 6GB variant of the gorgeous smartphone in the country, later in July, and priced it at Rs. 74,900. The device recently received two price cuts and now costs Rs. 65,900.
