Samsung develops UFS 5.0 mobile storage for on-device AI
Samsung announced its UFS 5.0 mobile storage solution using ninth-generation V-NAND, with data-transfer bandwidth up to 10.8 GB/s for next-generation on-device AI workloads.
Why it matters
Higher storage bandwidth and improved power efficiency are intended to reduce data-access bottlenecks for local AI workloads, but Samsung said mass production would begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, so the June announcement was a development milestone rather than a volume-production start.
