Samsung <\/b>has announced the development of its fastest Universal Flash Storage<\/b> (UFS) technology, bringing the memory industry to the new UFS 5.0<\/b> standard and delivering breakneck data transfer speeds of up to 10.8 GB\/s<\/b>.<\/p>\nUFS 5.0 is double the speed, at nearly half the power draw<\/h2>\n
For the uninitiated, the current standard for storage memory in premium flagship Android phones<\/u> is UFS 4.1, which has a theoretical maximum bandwidth of 5.8 GB\/s (across two lanes)<\/u>. UFS 4.1 from leading memory brands (such as Kioxia<\/u>, Micron<\/u>, and even Samsung) offers bandwidth ranging from 4.2 to 4.6 GB\/s.<\/p>\n
The announcement introduces Samsung\u2019s first commercial UFS 5.0, which not only adheres to JEDEC\u2019s memory standards for the storage technology but also delivers a bandwidth of 10.8GB\/s \u2014 more than double<\/b> that of its own UFS 4.1 (used in its Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/u> phone).<\/p>\n
To be precise, Samsung said its sequential read<\/b> speed reaches 10.8GB\/s<\/b>, while sequential write<\/b> speed caps out at 9.5GB\/s<\/b>. It did not miss the opportunity to add that these doubled speeds are obviously very good for running demanding, on-device AI applications.<\/p>\n
Beyond speed, Samsung also said it has better power efficiency through clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. It lowers the power required to transfer the same amount of data, which the brand said is up to 40% more power-efficient<\/b> than its own UFS 4.1 storage technology.<\/p>\n
It is also 16.7% smaller<\/b> than UFS 4.1, measuring 7.5 x 13mm, at just 0.9mm thick. These might not matter to many electronic appliances out there, but the smaller footprint is critical to smartphone components that need to maximise every millimetre available within. The reduced size also makes it possible to see the storage made available in previously hard-to-implement form factors, such as smart glasses (XR).<\/p>\nWhen will we see mobile devices with UFS 5.0 storage?<\/h2>\n
Samsung said it will begin mass production in Q4 2026<\/b>. The earliest we\u2019d likely see them on mobile devices is 2027 or later, and that\u2019s still dependent on brands buying and using them.<\/p>\n
