Samsung officially introduced the UFS 4.0the next generation of its flash storage technology that promises better performance and energy efficiency. Samsung revealed on Twitter the new specifications of its ultra-fast memories that they will not only arrive with faster read and write speedsbut also with greater autonomy for the iPhone battery and other Android smartphones.
According to the South Korean UFS 4.0 offers speed of up to 23.2 Gbps per lane, double that of the UFS 3.1 standard found in today’s mobiles. “That bandwidth is perfect for 5G smartphones that require a lot of data processing,” the tech said on her Twitter account.
Samsung claimed that UFS 4.0 is supported by its 7th generation V-NAND memory and a proprietary controller. In terms of performance, the memory of your future iPhone or Android It will reach read speeds of up to 4,200 MB/s and write speeds of 2,800 MB/s. In practice, your mobile will access files or applications in less time and will have no problem handling a high amount of data.
With UFS 4.0, Samsung promises better mobile performance without sacrificing battery
Although the numbers don’t say much to an average consumer, the implementation of UFS 4.0 marks a considerable leap from UFS 3.1. Not only are data transfer, read or write speeds twice as good, but also energy efficiency.
Currently the UFS 3.1 offers sequential read speeds of 3.2 MB/s per mAh, while UFS 4.0 reaches 6 MB/s per mAh. The optimization ensures that the memory chip will be more efficient and consume less powerextending the battery life of your mobile.
Samsung confirmed that memory UFS 4.0 will come in a compact package with maximum dimensions of 11 mm x 13 mm x 1 mm. Are measurements are lower than current memory chipswhich opens the door for manufacturers to integrate new components.
The South Korean revealed that will begin mass production of its UFS 4.0 chips during the third quarter of 2022. The good news is that we will not have to suffer for storage space, since Samsung promised capacities of up to 1TB.
The first smartphone with this technology could be the Samsung Galaxy S23, followed by other high-end models from the company. Other manufacturers are expected to start integrating it into their models in late 2022 and throughout 2023.
