Samsung roadmap reveals the UFS chips coming to the flagship Galaxy S25, S26, and S27 traces

After utilizing its personal Common Flash Storage (UFS) 4.0 chips for the flagship Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24 traces, a roadmap launched by Samsung Semiconductor reveals what the producer has deliberate all the way in which up by way of 2027. UFS gives a quick and dependable storage choice for smartphones that may also load apps shortly, entry information sooner, and ship an general higher expertise than earlier storage choices used a decade in the past equivalent to Embedded MultiMediaCards (eMMCs).

In Might 2022, Samsung launched UFS 4.0 noting that it provided a bandwidth of as much as 23.2Gbps per lane, double that of UFS 3.1. On the time, Samsung stated that UFS 4.0 is “excellent for 5G smartphones requiring enormous quantities of knowledge processing.” UFS 4.0 options sequential learn speeds of as much as 4.2 GB/s and sequential write speeds of as much as 2.8 GB/s. 

Samsung’s 2024 foldables, due out this summer time, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, will each in all probability use UFS 4.0 as they did in 2023. The 2022 foldables (Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4) employed UFS 3.1.

Samsung Semiconductor’s roadmap exhibits that UFS 4.04-lane is coming subsequent yr and there’s a good chance that Samsung’s Galaxy S25 flagship collection could possibly be the primary smartphones to debut the UFS 4.04-lane. A graph launched on the social media platform Weixin (by way of SamMobile) by the Samsung subsidiary exhibits that sequential learn speeds will almost double to 8GB/sec. The identical UFS 4.04-lane chip can be used on the Galaxy S26 collection.

Mass manufacturing of the UFS 4.04-lane will start earlier than 2025 and can mix two UFS controllers for sooner sequential learn speeds. Bettering UFS storage capabilities and rising UFS velocity will assist Samsung provide extra AI capabilities for its smartphones which is shortly changing into a significant promoting level within the market.
