Samsung should stop manufacturing substandard mobile devices again. My experiences with this company have been nasty especially in recent times. I have been using Samsung mobile devices since the advent of mobile telecommunications in Nigeria. I started with Samsung C100 which was exceptionally great then. What I discovered with the so-called high-end mobile devices from Samsung was that "they're bereft of premiums to which they had been erroneously tagged". The issue usually come to the the fore after using them for about one year or so, the back cover will just gape without previous accidental drop(s) to the floor or on any other hard surfaces. I used to wonder how Samsung Mobiles came about IP68 rating for these technologies. I have tried to express this concern but none of the global managers listened since 2019. The best premium mobile devices from Samsung were Samsung Galaxy 6/7. It's not the rollout meter that really matters but the quality of these products

      Now just put it in the Galaxy S23 so people can stop complaining about it being nothing new! lol..

      .. oh well, I guess this confirms that the jump in specs with the S24 will be quite big. Maybe I'll just wait another year!

        When it comes to storage speeds, the "Random Read" performance is probably the most important one, as it affects the OS and Apps but also real-world experience too.

        I haven't looked carefully into storage speeds for a while, I just remembered how slow Android devices were with either eMMC or UFS 2.1 compared to the "custom nvme" storage in the latest iPhones. It seems like Apple has stagnated here for a few years, and UFS 3.0 has mostly caught up, whilst the UFS 3.1 devices have surpassed it.

        A quick google showed, the iPhone 13 getting 200-240 MB/s (random read speed) whilst the S22 Ultra was getting around 240-290 MB/s. This was on their next-tier models, as the base models (ie 128GB units) typically have cheap and slow stuff not worth exploring. Their highest storage options (1TB) probably have the fastest speeds, but I only looked at the 256GB models.

          VoNR, 18 Oct 2022You're actually correct, here's a speed comparis... moreNo, he isn't fully correct. He still has tons of misconceptions regarding the topic. Still, not gonna abuse him because he was also correct somewhat.

          And the video was far away from technical.

Because sequential speeds are totally relevant anywhere lolz. Yeah, my desktop SSD also does 7,2GB/s. Guess how much that matters to OS, games and general use. NOTHING. It's latency and overhead with random reads that makes big difference.

                Kangal, 18 Oct 2022Actually it does, I suspect you don't actually know. ... moreNo it doesn't. UFS and NVMe are INTERFACE interconnects. It's the connection standard between chipset and storage NAND. You can have UFS 3.x and bolt some garbage cheap NAND to it and it will come nowhere near speeds UFS interface allows.

                            Apple cheaps out in many ways on their products, but the chipset is not one of them. The other is the screen and the physical component. These three are consistently the best, or very high standard, when it comes to their devices: iWatch, iPod, iPhone, iPad, iMac, MacBook.

                              But why? The "nerds" on gsma clearly states that RAM speed has absolutely nothing to do with the performance! They claim 1Hz would be enough.

                              Or is this yet another proof that RAM speeds actually do something to the performance. Hmm

                                    here's a speed comparison https://youtu.be/ppBiSrXPfGI (in russian)

                                      Anonymous, 18 Oct 2022Nope Apple uses brutally fast NVME that eats UFS 4.0 for lunch.No it doesn't. AGAIN, both NVMe and UFS are just INTERFACE standards. If they allow transfers of 100 billion terabytes a second doesn't mean the phone will actually achieve those speeds. But people always look at UFS whatever version and declare storage works at those speeds. Hint, it never does. That's like having PCIe 5.0 slot in PC and then placing PCIe 3.0 SSD in it. Interface allows PCIe 5.0 speeds, but SSD won't ever come close to that. That's UFS and NVMe. It's a declaration of possible speed on that interface, not a guaranteed speed.

                                        I guess it will be feature in S23 series (or may be just the S23 Ultra)
