When buying a smartphone, we usually pay attention to the processor and camera specifications, but the flash memory chip that controls the file transfer is generally ignored by the user. Recently, Samsung announced that it has completed the development of a new generation of UFS 4.0 flash memory, which is 1 times faster than the current UFS 3.1.
According to Samsung, UFS 4.0 Flash delivers speeds of up to 23.2 Gbps per channel, with built-in 7th Generation V-NAND technology delivering up to 4200 MB/s read speeds and up to 2800 MB/s write speeds. Compared to UFS 3.1, the maximum read speed is 2100 MB/s and the write speed is 1200 MB/s, which is more than double the speed.
In addition to being faster, UFS 4.0 is also smaller than UFS 3.1, with the largest UFS 4.0 1TB storage space of 11 x 13 x 1mm, which is 11.5 x 13 x 1mm than the 512GB UFS 3.1 storage space.
Samsung UFS 4.0 flash memory will start production in the third quarter, and it is still doubtful whether it can be used in time for the flagship machine in the second half of the year. But it is estimated that the flagship machine Samsung Galaxy S23 series launched next year will definitely be adopted.
