Samsung Galaxy S8 Has Slower Storage

Samsung Galaxy S8 comes with a built-in UFS 2.1 storage, which is the fastest flash storage for the company's mobile devices. But recently, it was discovered that the smartphone manufacturer has deleted the UFS 2.1 storage from the phone's specifications page.

According to reports, Samsung Galaxy S8 page initially announced that the device is shipped with UFS 2.1 storage, although there was a line that says "may differ by country and carrier." Nevertheless, Samsung has completely removed the UFS 2.1 part since, which the buyers eventually discovered.

Samsung Galaxy S8, which is powered by Snapdragon 835 processor has slower UFS 2.0 storage instead. Reports suggest that it is the Samsung' version in the US that features 800MB sequential read speeds, which is 300MB faster compared to UFS' 2.0 performance. BGR reported.
