Hello, UFS 4.0! Goodbye, UFS 3.1!

After the improvement of various parameters, today's mobile phone performance has been different from before, not only has a strong loading speed, even the optimization ability has been improved, it is almost difficult to see the new machine stutter, frame drop and so on.

However, there are many details in the process of optimization and upgrading, although relying on the improvement of hardware and the optimization of the system can bring a certain degree of improvement, but the most critical is flash memory and memory.

Only by making efforts in many details can we promote today's market, especially in general-purpose flash memory, and the improvement in recent years can really be described as huge.

Hello, UFS 4.0! Goodbye, UFS 3.1!

You know, today's USF 3.1 has been divided into a residual blood version and a full blood version by manufacturers, but it has been delegated to the thousand yuan mobile phone market, which can help the fluency of thousand yuan products to be stronger and the performance performance is better.

However, today's USF3.1 is not fully popularized, and it was thought that it would wait until after the popularization of the new flash memory, but what was not expected was that Samsung recently officially announced the UFS (Universal Flash Memory) 4.0 storage solution, and the program has been approved by JEDEC (Solid State Technology Association).

In other words, in the next new machine, we will see a new flash memory solution installed on the mobile phone product, which is also one of the key factors for the product itself to become stronger.

Hello, UFS 4.0! Goodbye, UFS 3.1!

Because from the official data, UFS 4.0 provides a sequential read speed of 4200MB/s and a sequential write speed of 2800MB/s, which is twice that of Samsung's predecessor UFS 3.1.

And it is very suitable for applications in 5G smartphones that require a lot of data processing, and is also expected to be suitable for future applications in the fields of smart cars, AR and VR, it seems that this time not only has a large increase, but also a very wide area of improvement.

The key is that energy efficiency has also been improved, 46% higher than the previous generation, and a variety of capacity options are available up to 1TB, and mass production is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of this year, which is not particularly long before we meet with everyone.

In fact, in addition to the USF flash memory on the fluency of mobile phone products are related, LPDDR memory is also very critical, LPDDR5 compared to LPDDR4X, comprehensive scene endurance increased by about 10%, play games save about 20%, WeChat video and voice battery life increased by about 10%.

Although there is no news that the LNDDR will be improved, the higher the memory frequency, the stronger the performance, and the better the experience for users who use mobile phones.

It is worth mentioning that the memory specifications are more complicated, such as DDR5, LPDDR5, GDDR5, of which LPDDR5 is usually used in mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, smart watches and other mobile devices; DDR5 is the next generation of memory specifications for computer platforms, which has not yet been popularized; GDDR5 is the previous generation of video memory specifications for discrete graphics cards.

Another thing to say is that many manufacturers are currently using Samsung's USF and LCDDR5, and the mobile phones, computers and other devices we usually use, the core components include flash memory.

However, in the past, the entire market was almost all monopolized by foreign companies such as Samsung, Magnesium, Armor, and Western Digital, but the over-monopolized market was destined to be slaughtered, so they often announced price increases, which would directly affect downstream manufacturers.

Therefore, As early as April 19, Yangtze River Storage officially announced the launch of UFS 3.1 universal flash memory - UC023, which is a flagship high-speed flash memory chip created by Yangtze River Storage.

Hello, UFS 4.0! Goodbye, UFS 3.1!

That is to say, the flash memory and memory used in future mobile phone products may be replaced by localization, but this process still needs some time, and it is difficult to truly solve it in a short period of time.

It is just that in terms of development speed, it may be difficult to surpass Samsung in a short period of time, after all, USF 4.0 is already on the road, so for domestic manufacturers who have just started USF 3.1, the pressure will naturally not be small.

However, competition has gradually emerged, which is also one of the situations that users hope to see, and only in this way will various monopolies be broken in the future.

Hello, UFS 4.0! Goodbye, UFS 3.1!

Finally, I would like to say that the iconic data to measure the performance of a mobile phone in addition to soC performance should be flash performance, as for the gap in operation and storage performance is more reflected in the data, the impact on the user experience is very inconspicuous.

However, the improvement again and again will also make the user's experience better, so what version of the flash memory of everyone's mobile phone products is used? Welcome to the discussion.
