Samsung plans to double its highest built-in storage for smartphones from 512GB to an industry’s first 1TB smartphone storage.
Say goodbye to “insufficient storage space”, Samsung wants to give you a PC-level storage on your mobile devices. The Korean firm’s storage unit just announced that it has begun the mass production of 1-terabyte embedded Universal Flash Storages (eUFS), doubling the Samsung Galaxy Note 9’s 512GB storage model, to be the highest the company has ever produced.
“Smartphone enthusiasts will soon be able to enjoy storage capacity comparable to a premium notebook PC, without having to pair their phones with additional memory cards,” Samsung said.
Not only will users get to enjoy a wider memory space limit, the new tech would attain transfer speeds of upto 1,000 megabytes per second (MB/s) – making it possible to transfer a 5GB sized full video in five seconds, at 10 times the rate of a microSD.

Samsung further disclosed that increased memory will also enable better quality high-resolution video shooting, thanks to a faster random read speed.
Rumours have surfaced that we may likely have the next-generation Samsung Galaxy S10 having 1TB of storage, alongside four rear and two-front facing cameras.
Samsung says it plans to roll out production of these facilities in the first half of 2019, to address the strong demand for the 1TB eUFS.
