Good news, new technology for better life

    rizki1, 04 May 2022been waiting this new version for long time... I hope in a ... moreat that price range. no they still use emmc, you can add more money to get ufs

      you have to suffer, 04 May 2022Which phone model will use UFS 4?? can't wait to see Galaxy S23 for sure. Next year. Possibly any of the folding phones released mid year like Flip/Fold 4...

        Wow...sequential read speeds of up to 4,200 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 2,800 MB/s!!!

        Only that.. sequential read / write is meaningless.

        RANDOM read / write is KING, able to read and write fast at small blocks means faster application responses.

        Samesung brag about the wrong specs.

          🥰😁 inovation

            1TB storage!

              been waiting this new version for long time... I hope in a $100 all phones to use old UFS 2.1 and not eMMC anymore.

                Which phone model will use UFS 4?? can't wait to see

                  db102000, 04 May 2022We will still complain in the future about slow opening app... moreThat's because UFS is not a guarantee for speed. That's like saying PCIe 4.0 guarantees I'm going to have 7GB/s speeds with my SSD. It doesn't. PCIe 4.0 just tells the speed of the data bus and bandwidth it gives for SSD to work with. Then it's down to SSD itself to actually deliver those speeds. If I pair some SSD with poor NAND and terrible controller, it may not come anywhere near 7GB/s speeds. It might only do 3 or 4GB/s. Same with phones, you can use UFS 4.0, but if you use cheap slow NAND, it might perform worse than UFS 2.0 in its actual peak performance. Still better than eMMC, but that's a very low bar to beat...

                  Also I don't know what's up with Android phones, but it seems like TRIM is still either broken or just non functional as most phones just get horribly slow over time and that's even when phone is only filled up to maybe 50% of total storage. Everyone keeps saying it works properly, but does it really? Or there is just some other fundamental design flaw in Android that makes storage so slow over time. Something I have yet to observe on my iPhone and it's been 3 years since I last factory reset it and it still feels smooth and snappy as the day I bought it. No Android phone ever worked consistently like that and I wonder what's up with that.

                      now for the future it make sense to put usb 3.0 on this thing

                        We will still complain in the future about slow opening apps, so I don't see the point
