      YUKI93, 09 Oct 2025Not all chip needs UFS storage. Some are still good enough ... moreSure. But, how about after 2 years (or almost) of using a phone with eMMC speed? Wouldn't frequent lag be a problem? Does the phone still usable with those frequent lags?

        Anonymous, 07 Oct 2025Pixels UFS 4 storage is almost three times as slow as Samsu... moreThis could also just be because of a much lower bandwidth than Snapdragon and MediaTek processors. We don't have exact bandwidth numbers for G5, but this is the most likely cause when you also consider the much lower performance of G5

                This article is not about storage capacity, it's about internal storage SPEED (the physical component/chip) inside of the phone. Why some people here keep talking about SD Cards?! Don't they know the difference?

                Anyway, I hope this should be the reason of phasing the emmc out on entry level phones.

                  Pinpin, 08 Oct 2025We finally get UFS 5.0 soon 🙌 Hopefully eMMC 5.1 will be ... moreeMMC is rarely used unless it is for burner-tier phones, otherwise UFS 2.x is still put on cheap phones, even seen on devices around 200s USD price tag...

                      Hopefully eMMC 5.1 will be phased out 🗑
                      Soon UFS 3.1 will be get cheaper for budget phone

                          And it won't get in Pixel for at least 3 years and even then only in the States on select versions.

                            WOKE content, did someone tell you how to think? Imagine being offended by an entire streaming service with this mindset!!

                              LV426, 08 Oct 2025:D only total... Playing on phone. For gaming is pc, not du... moreYes. PC GAMING is the best. But for most of us who doesn't have a fortune to buy an expensive gaming computer. Or doesn't have a Space in the house. Or doesn't have a permanent address. We are forced to buy a Smartphone.

                                  YUKI93, 08 Oct 2025One word: Price. Consider the cost of upgrading the interna... moreYes. Sony could be the winner. Problem is they don't release their Xperia Worldwide anymore. You have to Ordered it outside your country. Which may include shipping cost.

Having a microSD card slot for offline use is definitely useful and never goes outdated. Plus, for the same price as upgrading its rivals' internal storage from 256GB to 512GB, I can easily get a 1TB SanDisk Extreme/Extreme Pro microSD card.

                                      Saherforever, 08 Oct 2025Would you put 2 terabytes of contents in your phone??? and... moreWould I put 2TB in my Phone? Yes. If I lost. I can just buy one. And if its damage. I can just replace it.
                                      Yes. Ordinary Laptops don't have 4TB of Storage because that's how marketing works.

                                        Foxtrot2Novmbr, 07 Oct 2025What's the use of having UFS 5.0 in any Android Smartp... moreOne word: Price. Consider the cost of upgrading the internal storage from 256GB to 512GB or from 512GB to 1TB in today's premium flagship phones. At this point, I would rather see the implementation of the UHS-III microSD card slot. Sony could be onto a real winner if they are serious about it, since they still keep the microSD card slot on the Xperia 1 series.
