UFS 3.0 is crazy fast with 10x writing speed compared to UFS 2.1

UFS 2.1 (Ultra Fast Storage 2.1) is the storage technology that is being used on most of the flagship smartphones of 2018. In 2019, UFS 3.0 is expected to take over the UFS 2.1, which will offer better read and write speeds, which enables smartphones to record high-resolution 8K videos and to read and write big files.

According to a leak, a smartphone with UFS 3.0 storage has been spotted online, which suggests a phenomenal upgrade in the rear and write speeds compared to the UFS 2.1 storage module. This leak reaffirms that the upcoming flagship smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S10 will come equipped with UFS 3.0 storage modules.
