This new technology will allow storage capacities ranging from 256 GB to 1 TB to be manufactured. While mass production is expected to begin in the second half of this year, it may be some time before the first smartphones with Micron UFS 4.0 storage become available.
This means that UFS 4.0 will most likely be available in flagship Android phones by the beginning of 2024, possibly with Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series.
Specifications
Micron’s storage solution is built with 232-layer TLC flash technology, which allows for three bits per cell storage. The company claims that its six-plane NAND architecture improves random read throughput, outperforming previous-Gen storage.
Micron’s UFS 4.0 storage offers impressive sequential read speeds of up to 4,300 MBps and sequential write speeds of up to 4,000 MBps. These speeds significantly outperform Samsung’s UFS 4.0, especially in write performance.
Furthermore, the newly released UFS 4.0 chips have a 25% increase in power efficiency, ensuring more energy-efficient operation. They also promise a 10% reduction in write latency, resulting in faster data storage and retrieval.
