Samsung's Galaxy Fold and Samsung Galaxy S10 5G are expected to be the first phones shipped with UFS 3.0 storage, but OnePlus is likely to beat them to the limit, at least in most markets. CEO Pete Lau tweeted earlier today the confirmation by Twitter that the company 's next 7 phones series will feature a super fast UFS 3.0 storage.

In case you do not master the specifics, the UFS 3.0 specification offers more than twice the theoretical maximum bandwidth of its predecessor, up to 2.9 GB / s. It consumes less power and is faster than UFS 2.1 (1.2 GB / s) and substantially faster than the old eMMC that we had to endure for years – even though, unfortunately, some cheaper phones are still delivered with.

Fast storage (especially fast random speeds) can greatly improve the anecdotal feeling of speed when using a phone. Even some older OnePlus devices, such as OnePlus 3, have a reasonable level of security against 2019 standards, and this is partly due to OnePlus software, but this is also due to the company's insistence on storage. faster based on UFS 2.0, even under these conditions. The inclusion of UFS 3.0 is therefore a good omen for the performances of the upcoming OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro.

From a certain point of view, Samsung has not started mass production of its UFS 3.0 storage until earlier this year. This product is so brand new and should be as fast as you can have it, even if it still remains to be seen precisely. How quick. We will have to wait to find out more on the 14th, when the company should unveil its latest flagship product.
