SK hynix introduces the world's first 321-layer UFS 4.1 TLC NAND flash for smartphones, which is faster, more efficient, and thinner.
The new storage chips offer 15% higher random read and 40% higher random write speeds compared to the previous generation with a max sequential read speed of 4.3GB/s.
The NAND package is 0.85mm thick, down from 1mm, making it suitable for slim phone designs like the Galaxy S25 Edge.
The 321-layer UFS 4.1 design is 7% more power efficient, contributing to improved performance and reduced heat generation, expected to be available in 512GB and 1TB capacities.
