Samsung begins mass production of UFS 4.0 flash memory

After announcing the development of the industry’s first UFS 4.0 storage product in May this year, Samsung announced at the Flash Memory Summit 2022 on August 3 that UFS 4.0 flash memory entered mass production this month. .

Samsung said UFS 4.0 will first be used in flagship smartphones to address the need for higher data rate speeds when processing high-resolution images and intensive gaming. In the future, UFS 4.0 will also be popular on more mobile, AR and VR devices.

The industry’s first UFS 4.0 mobile storage, developed by Samsung in May, is expected to go into mass production this month.
