Samsung announces the 1TB chip that mobile phones will use this year

[Blexfraptor]

Samsung takes a while behind having mobile phones with 1TB of capacity. With the Note 9, the company created its "first mobile capable of reaching 1 TB", with up to 512 GB of internal memory expandable with another 512 GB of microSD card. However, this year we are going to find phones with 1 TB of internal memory capacity, plus another 512 GB of external thanks to the new chip they have created.
Samsung creates the first 1 TB eUFS 2.1 mobile chip

This was announced today by Samsung, which has begun to mass-produce the first 1 TB of eUFS 2.1 memory chip, allowing mobile storage capacities that exceed what many laptops offer. In fact, Samsung says they expect to bring closer an experience more similar to that of a laptop with their phones, especially thanks to features like DeX.

The arrival of this chip occurs one year and two months after the 512 GB eUFS 2.1 chip that was launched in November 2017. This chip reached sequential reading speeds of 860 MB / s and 255 MB / s of writing. The new 1TB chip reaches speeds of up to 1,000 MB / s of sequential read and up to 260 MB / s of sequential write. As for random, it reaches 58,000 reading IOPS and 50,000 writing. As we can see, the sequential reading is almost twice as fast as that offered by an SSD at present.

Thanks to this great speed of reading, making backup copies of the videos that we have on our mobile phone is done much faster. If we copy to an NVMe SSD, we will find that a 5 GB file will be copied to our PC in just 5 seconds. In addition, thanks to this great speed you can get to record 960 FPS videos without speed problems.

The 1TB memory chips will be available to mobile manufacturers in the coming months

With a 1 TB chip, Samsung says that 260 videos can be stored in 4K of 10 minutes each, equivalent to about 43 hours of video. With a 64GB memory like most high-end mobiles have as the "only" base capacity, 13 of those videos can be stored.

Mass production has already begun, and Samsung plans to expand the production of these fifth-generation V-NAND chips of 64 GB each during the first half of 2019. This chip will be ready in principle for its high-end early-stage mobile phones. year, in addition to the Note 10 that will be released after summer. They also expect a high demand for this chip from other mobile manufacturers on the market around the world.
