When buying a new smartphone, we usually analyze its processor, cameras, amount of storage and RAM, for example. Despite being fundamental, there are other components that should also be considered, such as UFS technology, present in the flash memory of several models. Below, we will explain what it is and what are the differences between each pattern available on the market.
What is the UFS standard?
UFS is the acronym for Universal Flash Storage, a technology that provides data read and write speeds similar to that of a computer SSD. Thus, it is possible to install applications or transfer files in less time when compared to the standard eMMC.
In summary, UFS plays an important role because it increases the performance of the cell phone, allowing the device to launch and install applications faster, save photos and videos with greater speed and even deliver improved performance in the area of multitasking.

Despite maintaining the read and write speed of UFS 2.1, UFS 2.2 improves on the characteristics of its predecessor. This new standard delivers the technology Write Boosterwhich uses non-volatile memory to speed up writing and, of course, speed up opening apps and transferring files.
Release date: 2020; Some models with this pattern: Redmi Note 12 4G, POCO X5 Pro 5G, Galaxy M33 and Infinix Note 30 Pro.

UFS 3.1 maintained the read speed of its predecessor, but considerably improved the write speed, reaching 1,200 MB/s. The highlight of this version is due to two technologies: Performance Throttling Notification, which tells the system that the drive is overheating; and the DeepSleepwhich manages to increase battery life by activating a low-power mode.
UFS 4.0
