Qualcomm’s 4G/5G Summit at Hong Kong saw some pretty interesting announcements. However, one announcement made by Samsung’s head of mobile memory product planning, Jay Oh, really stole the show. The announcement was with regards to the next generation of File Storage. The company has now confirmed that Unified File Storage 3 (UFS 3) will be arriving soon, in the first half of 2019. UFS is storage which is commonly used in smartphones. So, does this mean that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 could possibly come with UFS 3.0? Well, this is a shot in the dark as no official announcement was made regarding it be used in the Samsung Galaxy S10.

How The Samsung Galaxy S10 Could Better Perform with UFS 3.0

UFS 3.0 will be available in three storage variants, ranging from 128GB to 512GB. Well, if that doesn’t seem like enough, Micron is the one for you. It has stated that the first wave of phones with 1TB internal storage will start making an appearance in 2021. This means if you want more than 512GB of UFS 3.0 on a smartphone, you’ll have to wait a few more years till it arrives. Before your mind floats to the Smartisan smartphone which is equipped with 1TB of storage, remember that it consists of two 512GB modules and not an entire ITB block.
