Just a couple of months after Google Pixel finally adopted faster UFS 4.1 storage in select Pixel 10 devices, the UFS 5.0 standard has been announced with storage that\u2019s twice as fast, and the reason for that speed boost will hopefully catch Google\u2019s attention a little sooner.<\/p>\n
UFS 4.0 was announced <\/a>back in 2022 with a big speed boost to 4.2GB\/second, up from UFS 3\u2019s roughly 2.1GB\/second. But, with the upcoming UFS 5.0 standard, a much bigger jump is in store.<\/p>\n JEDEC, the organization in charge of the UFS standard, has announced that UFS 5.0<\/a> will see increased performance of up to 10.8GB\/second. That\u2019s nearly a 160% increase over UFS 4.0. <\/p>\n Why the huge leap? JEDEC specifically says that the faster performance will \u201cmeet AI demands.\u201d<\/p>\n \tAdvertisement – scroll for more content<\/p>\n With that in mind, hopefully Google is listening. Pixel phones have been stuck on UFS 3.1 since 2021\u2019s Pixel 6 series, but the Pixel 10, at least<\/a> in its higher storage tiers, finally moved up to UFS 4.0<\/a>. The difference in performance hasn\u2019t been tremendous, but it\u2019s been an overdue change nonetheless. But with AI being the reason for the massive leap that is UFS 5.0, we can only hope that Google is taking a closer look at the tech for future Pixels, as AI is kind of Google\u2019s whole pitch.<\/p>\n As for when UFS 5.0 starts hitting production, that\u2019s not been mentioned.<\/p>\n The list of highlights for the UFS 5.0 standard includes:<\/p>\n Increased sequential performance up to 10.8 GB\/s to meet AI demands *<\/p>\n Integrated link equalization for more reliable signal integrity*<\/p>\n Distinct power supply rail to provide noise isolation between PHY and memory subsystem, easing system integration*<\/p>\n Inline Hashing for greater security<\/p>\n More on Android:<\/p>\n Follow Ben:\u00a0Twitter\/X<\/a>,\u00a0Threads<\/a>, Bluesky<\/a>, and\u00a0Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
