Smartphone manufacturers are beating all odds to deliver devices with better cameras and more battery life. But the improvement on camera specs demands for bigger storage to accommodate the photos and videos. This is where Samsung finds a solution.
The company has announced that it has began on mass production of what is likely to be the world’s first 1TB embedded Universal Flash Storage (eUFS) solution for phone manufacturers.
This implies that, if you are patient enough, you next phone could have one terabyte of storage embedded in just a single flash memory chip.
Samsung says that the new chips will make the use of the next generation of smartphones more relative to notebooks. With 1TB of storage on your smartphone, you can store up to 260 ten minute videos at 4K resolution, while making faster data transfer speeds – at up to 10 times the rate of a microSD card.
This is far better than the 64GB eUFS popularly used in many current high-end smartphones which can only afford to store 13 ten minute videos at 4K resolution.
The announcement comes just in time before the launch of the Galaxy S10 device, on February 20th – at the Galaxy Unpacked event in Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress, and rumours indicate that the smartphone could be having a high-end version with 1TB of storage.
Last year, Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9 was dubbed as a 1TB ready smartphone given its 512GB model supported a microSD card of upto 512GB storage.
Now, the company plans to expand its production facilities in the first half of 2019 to fully address the “anticipated strong demand” for the 1TB eUFS from mobile device manufacturers globally.
