    [deleted post]I did check the link you posted. What is even more impressive about the Sony, though, is the dual periscope zoom ranges in the camera. I am guessing that by next year, the majority of flagships will have dual or multiple (3?) zoom ranges within each periscope camera module. Which can free up substantial amount of space, and perhaps allowing for bigger battery or a larger processing unit or heatsink or something else.

      Motherboard need new CPU slots.
      Ram need new versions DDR3, DDR4, DDR5
      HDD most likely need to wipe, because Windows complain too much hardware changes, plus the main cause of your LAG over the days.
      GPU get outdated.
      Casing need to change.

      Basically, when you change, you most likely change everything anyway.

        I know it will became cost friendly but what if you just need to increase the ram only.

          And we all know this constantly promised "frees up more internal space"

          WILL NEVER BE USED FOR A LARGER BATTERY 🔋!!!!

          The new internal space will be used for:

          -2mp macro and depth sensors
          -Headphone jack removal

            Anonymous, 15 Jun 20211iii uses this, but from american company Micron. Maybe that's the reason they were able to fit bigger battery in virtually identical body

              Integrating RAM and flash will help save space, make it much faster and also save battery, due to the process architecture.
              It had a lot more benefits than a random first glance.

                At the beginning I though that the integrated UFS 3.1 part, will work like a fast swap partition for when the actual RAM is full or because the RAM is needed for something important and the low priority stuff are moved to the swap partition.
                I thought of this with the idea that it will be cheaper to make 6/8GB LPDDR5 RAM + 10/8GB UFS 3.1 swap, instead of pure 16GB LPDDR5 RAM.

                    İ do appreciate innovation.
                    however if Sony experia 1 mark III;
                    Has adopted this technology, why we would not see any difference, on the Benchmarks compared to other sd888 phone ?

                      I hope this series of memory will come in phones early next year.

                        25 GB/s, so this RAM is the speed of SD 810, and half the speed of SD 888.
                        Maybe it's because both the RAM and storage are on the same cheap, there's no room for quad channel?

But you can do it know, buy, buy! Premium, premium!

                                    Imagine you go to build a computer and your system drive and RAM are on the same DIMMs. That would be pretty sick.
