With phones now launching with up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, it is only a matter of time before we see models with 2TB of storage like on the iPad Pro 11 (2024). Unfortunately, Oppo has no plans of launching a 2TB model of the upcoming Find X9 series.

While the Oppo Find X8 Ultra (read our review) maxes out at 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, there’s a variant of the OnePlus 13 that has a whopping 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. It is thus not surprising that fans are expecting Oppo to outdo itself by launching a smartphone with 24GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. Unfortunately, that won’t be happening, at least not with the Find X9 series.

The information was revealed on Weibo by Zhou Yibao, the product manager of Oppo’s Find series, when asked if there will be a 24GB RAM + 1TB/2TB model of the Find X9 series. According to a translation of the Oppo executive’s reply, there won’t be a 2TB device version as the hardware is reportedly not mature yet. However, he suggested using Oppo’s cloud service for those who require more storage.

While there isn’t a smartphone with 2TB of built-in storage, there are phones with a MicroSD card slot that support adding MicroSD cards with up to 2TB capacity. One such device is the CMF Phone 2 Pro (available on Amazon.de for € 250.20). Unfortunately, Oppo’s Find X series of smartphones, like many flagships, no longer have a MicroSD card slot.

On the bright side, while Zhou Yibao’s response did dash the hopes of those who want a 2TB smartphone, it is important to note that he didn’t say there won’t be a 24GB RAM version with 1TB of storage. So it is safe to assume one or more of the Find X9 series will have such configuration. However, whether that model will be available outside China remains to be seen.
