SK Hynix Inc., the world’s second-largest memory chipmaker, supplied DRAM chips with the industry’s largest capacity for mobile devices to customers such as Chinese smartphone maker Oppo.
The South Korean tech giant said it has been supplying the 24GB LPDDR5X to Oppo since July. The Chinese company is set to install the chip in the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro, a new flagship smartphone of Oppo’s subsidiary OnePlus Technology Co.
“With the timely supply of 24GB LPDDR5X from SK Hynix, we were able to become the first to launch a smartphone that features the industry’s largest capacity DRAM,” said Louis Li, Oppo’s vice president for marketing, in a statement of SK Hynix. “This new smartphone will allow customers to enjoy an optimized multi-tasking environment as well as extended battery life.” The OnePlus Ace 2 Pro (Captured from Oppo's Chinese website) TO TRANSFER 13 FHD MOVIES IN ONE SECOND

It is crucial to enhance the performance of memory chips for smartphones in order to incorporate artificial intelligence into the mobile devices, the company said.
“Along with a faster advancement in the broader IT industry, our LPDDR products will be able to support a growing list of applications such as PC, server, high-performance computing (HPC) and automotive vehicles,” said Park Myoungsoo, SK Hynix head of DRAM marketing.
