Samsung Wants to Put 128GB of Fast Storage in Your Next Phone

It's No Longer Hard to Get a Hefty 128GB of Storage in a Smartphone but, that Doesn't Mean you'll Enjoy it. What's the Point of All that Extra Space, if your Phone Chugs Handling Huge Games and 4K Videos ? Samsung has Clearly Anticipated this Problem, though -- it just Outed the 1st 128GB Flash Memory Chip Based on the Speedy Universal Flash Storage Standard. The Part Uses Tricks like Command Queuing and a Serial Interface, to Give you the Kind of Breakneck Performance you'd Expect from a SSD in a PC, Not a Device that Fits in your Pocket. It's about 2.7 Times Faster at Random Data Reads than the Flash you See in Many High-End Phones, while its Sequential Speeds are "Up to SSD Levels".


And that's while Using 50% Less Power -- you Won't Have to Take a Hit to Battery Life. Samsung Hasn't Named Customers for the UFS Chip, which is also Available in 32GB and 64GB Forms. With that Said, it Doesn't Take a Genius to See Where it Might Go. It Won't be at All Shocking if this Storage Ends Up in High-End Samsung Phones (Whether it's the Galaxy S6 or Something Else) and it Wouldn't be a Stretch to See Interest from Other Top-Tier Companies that Use Samsung's Flash, like Apple. Whoever's on Deck, you're Likely to See More (and Better) 128GB Options, the Next Time you Go Phone Shopping.
