We have talked a lot about the Galaxy S23, the new generation of smartphones that will be presented on February 1 this year, which, as we have already told you, will be equipped with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoCa very powerful chip, which this time will have a slightly improved configuration, which will distinguish the model integrated into the new Samsung terminals from the standard version that will be mounted on other smartphones.

we know that too the price of the Galaxy S23 will be higher to the one that the Galaxy S22 had at the time of its launch and that in this new generation of smartphones, apart from the integration of the rear cameras into the chassis of the terminal, we will not see important changes at the design level (goodbye the island of a different color).

On the hardware level, there will be a clear leap compared to the current generation. In this sense, one of the most interesting changes will be the implementation of the new SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but we will also see another improvement that has not received so much attention, but which is very important, the integration the new UFS 4.0 storage solution from Samsung.

UFS 4.0 storage can achieve sequential read and write speeds of up to 4,200 MB/s and 2,800 MB/srespectively, while UFS 3.1 storage encounters 2,100 MB/s and 1,200 MB/s. The numbers speak for themselves and as we can see, the differences between the two technologies are huge.

If you’re wondering what difference this can make on a smartphone, don’t worry, I won’t leave you wondering. Storage capable of working at higher speeds will improve the overall user experience with the deviceit will offer immediate response and reduce the time of installation and launch of applications.

Ideally, Samsung would use this new storage technology across the entire Galaxy S23 line, but according to new information, it seems that this will not be the case, and that the standard model configured with 128 GB It will be equipped with UFS 3.1 storage. There’s a reason why this terminal won’t come with UFS 4.0 storage and no, it’s not to cut costs because Samsung does not make 128GB chips based on such technology.

The Galaxy S23 version with 256 GB of storage capacity will be based on the UFS 4.0 standard and taking into account the price difference between this and the 128 GB version (only 60 euros) the first option will be more interesting. The storage will be used by the Galaxy S23+ and S23 Ultra UFS 4.0 in all its configurations.
