JEDEC announced the UFS 3.1 specifications in January 2020, and the updated UFS 4.0 standard has been available for more than two years. It claims to be twice as fast as the preceding UFS 3.1 standard. Samsung has launched UFS 4.0 storage, which enhances data transfer rates and power efficiency over UFS 3.1.
BREAKING: Samsung has developed the industry's highest performing Universal Flash Storage (UFS) 4.0 storage solution, which has received JEDEC® board of director approval. What is UFS 4.0 and what does it mean for the future of storage? Read on to learn more. pic.twitter.com/4Wxdu0J2PD

With maximum data transfer speeds of 23.2Gbps per lane, this new flash storage standard outperforms UFS 3.1. According to Samsung, this is double the 11.6GBps maximum rates of UFS 3.1 and will let 5G handsets to process AR and VR more effectively
The sequential read speed of UFS 4.0 is 4200MBps, while the sequential write speed is 2800MBps. For your information, UFS 3.1 can provide sequential read speeds of up to 2100MBps and sequential write speeds of up to 1200MBps. That's more than double the speed of UFS 3.1!!
Samsung has significantly enhanced the UFS storage standard is power efficiency. The UFS 4.0 standard uses 46% less power than UFS 3.1 while providing double the performance. That implies your next flagship smartphone will have considerably quicker storage without sacrificing battery life. It can effectively give a sequential read speed of 6.0MBps for every mA.
Samsung's UFS 4.0 storage has a maximum size of 11mm length, 13mm width, and 1mm height. Samsung has also stated that the 4.0 standard would support capacities of up to 1TB (UFS 3.1 only supported capacities of up to 512GB), which is more than enough for portable devices.

The mass manufacturing phase will begin in the third quarter of 2022. The Q3 production timetable suggests that certain premium phones releasing around the end of the year, such as the Pixel 7 series or the next Galaxy Z Fold, may include UFS 4.0, but we'll have to wait and see.
