Galaxy S9 could blow the iPhone X away with 512GB of next-gen eUFS storage
Samsung has announced that it is mass-producing the industry’s first 512GB embedded Universal Flash Storage (eUFS) solution, leading many to believe that the Galaxy S9 will ship with the high-capacity module.
As we don’t know how long the firm’s been holding onto the technology, it’s tough to say whether it will make the cut – but if it was on the assembly line before the Galaxy S9 entered production at the beginning of last month, it could very well be on board.
There are a number of reasons why Samsung would want to rush to bake the 500GB+ non-removable chip into the Galaxy S9.
512GB is double the storage offered by the most expensive iPhone X (£1149), for one, so Samsung could conceivably offer twice the capacity and improved performance for the same (or even a lower) price than Apple’s flagship.
It would be something of a coup for the South Korean firm so soon after the iPhone X’s release, and one that would potentially help undecided buyers make their mind up in Samsung’s favour in early-2018. It could also help the Galaxy S9 become the company’s best-selling smartphone to date.
