If you've ever wondered what companies pack into their devices, there's always those teardown videos you can refer to. One of the latest teardown video for the Huawei Mate 40 RS revealed some interesting things. In the video, you get to see a storage chip that's different from the standard UFS used in most phones.
According to Gizmochina, a Chinese tech blog took apart the Mate 40 RS to find out what's inside. The general layout of the internals is similar to the Mate 40 Pro, but there are differences. Most notably, the camera module has an additional 3D ToF sensor and infrared temperature scanner. The phone also has more thermal paste and the NFC area is also larger.
More importantly, you get to see the HiSilicon-developed SFS memory chip for internal storage. It's said that this chip can deliver read speeds of up to 1966MB/s and write speeds of up to 1280MB/s. For comparison, UFS 3.1 has read speeds of about 1800MB/s and write speeds of around 700MB/s. If the numbers are accurate, SFS would have nearly double the sequential write speeds of UFS 3.1, which can be great for taking burst shots with the camera.
Of course, the numbers above have not been verified, so do take the news with a grain of salt. Having said that, is the storage speed of a smartphone important for you? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more news.
