  The DDR ram costs more than the phone now. Wish I was joking. =3

    Pretty much, but you would be surprised at just how low some of these phone RAM setups can go.
    I had a low end Oppo 'something', I remember the RAM had a 16bit data bus, the whole thing had a peak theoretical bandwidth at just over 4GB/sec. That phone sauntered through the workload at the best of times. The Mediatek chip was probably not the weaklink for once.
    On the upside the battery could go well over a week between charges.

    China already has domestic Flash and Dram fabs that are growing rapidly.
    Xiaomi and Huawei will likely adapt their supply chains accordingly. =3
