OPPO Find X to get 10GB RAM version, spotted at TENAA
There have been rumors of a 10GB RAM smartphone in development for a while now. Vivo's yet unreleased Xplay7 was rumored to come with 10GB RAM and the ASUS ROG Phone was also supposed to come with 10GB of RAM. It appears OPPO will be the first to launch a 10GB RAM phone judging by an updated TENAA listing of the Find X.
The Find X originally comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage but Chinese leaker @UniverseIce shared a photo of an updated listing that shows the Find X will get a new 10GB RAM + 256GB ROM model.
We were able to confirm that the leak is genuine as the full TENAA specs listing for the Find X (PAFM00 model) now has a 10GB RAM variant. The update to the listing was made yesterday. The rest of the specs will remain the same as the other variant.
TENAA is China's phone regulatory body.

"Who the fark cares?".
A) Does it do what I want quickly? Can I afford it? If yes, buy.
B) Does it make up for a RAM shortfall via a faster CPU/modem, or vice versa? Don't care, go to A.

So, I doubt it.

Agreed, the thing I absolutely hate about smartphones is how it's virtually impossible to run anything but some flavor of android on 99% of them. Then there's a very sizable portion that not only will only run the stock ROM, but won't give you root access. Evil. Android has twisted Linux into something hideous that spits in the face of everything Linux represents.
