Today Samsung Electronics have announced that, they started mass producing the industry first 512GB eUFS 3.1 storage chips for use in flagship smartphones. The latest chip offers three times the write speeds from the previous generation 512GB eUFS 3.0 mobile memory, and is said to break the 1GB/s performance threshold in smartphone storage. The write speed is improved to over 1200MB/s, boasting more than twice the speed of SATA-based PC featuring 540MB/s, over ten times swift than a standard UHS-I microSD card with 90MB/s speeds and also 60 percent faster than the widely used UFS 3.0 storage. Samsung have also promised 256GB and 128GB options to be available for flagship smartphones, that will be launched later this year.
With our introduction of the fastest mobile storage, smartphone users will no longer have to worry about the bottleneck they face with conventional storage cards. The new eUFS 3.1 reflects our continuing commitment to supporting the rapidly increasing demands from global smartphone makers this year, said Cheol Choi, Executive Vice President of Memory Sales & Marketing at Samsung Electronics.Source: SAMSUNG Newsroom
