Kioxia is shoving QLC-based UFS 4.1 into phones, betting smaller packages and smarter controllers can offset density downsides.

Product moves at a glance
[LIST]
[*]Kioxia started sending early UFS 4.1 storage units to device makers.
[*]The push targets bigger phone storage without burning extra PCB space.
[*]Capacity tiers roll out at 512 GB and 1 TB.
[/LIST]
Physical footprint shift
[LIST]
[*]Package size drops to 9 by 13 millimeters.
[*]Older footprint sat at 11 by 13 millimeters.
[*]Smaller storage frees routing space for radios, batteries, or cameras.
[/LIST]
Flash tech and controller bets
[LIST]
[*]The parts rely on BiCS FLASH eighth-generation 3D NAND.
[*]Cell design shifts to QLC rather than common TLC.
[*]Higher density leans hard on firmware, controllers, and error correction.
[/LIST]
Performance numbers that matter
[LIST]
[*]Sequential write rates rise about twenty-five percent versus prior models.
[*]Random-read speed jumps near ninety percent based on Kioxia's claims.
[*]Random-write speed nearly doubles, shaping everyday phone responsiveness.
[*]Write amplification drops as much as three-point-five times.
