The previous release phone PRO5 anounced that it's using UFS2.0 storage, so, what is UFS?

Wikipedia it:

"Universal Flash Storage (UFS) is a common flash storage specification for digital cameras, mobile phones and consumer electronic devices.This could bring higher data transfer speed and increased reliability in flash memory storage, thus reducing market confusion and the varying number of adapters for different number of cards"

And the official anouncement:

"UFS 2.0 adopted by PRO 5 is honored as the future of flash memory technology. It adopts 16nm process technology and supports simultaneous read-write. However, eMMC 5.0 can only perform one-way reading and writing. It is also endowed with the random access performance which can be compared with an SSD and is 4 times that of eMMC 5.0. The volume is the same as eMMC 5.0 and the power consumption is very low. With such a powerful read-write function, the speed for opening the application with PRO 5 is greatly improved. The photo album can be browsed directly without waiting and the 4K high-definition video will be smoother.   "

Performance comparation:

Seems UFS2.0 is very powerful, it highly enhance the writing and reading spead of mobile phones, thus when shooting 4k video or play a high definition movie, it will get better performance, hope to see more phone with UFS2.0 storage.
