As Vlad Savov from The Verge put it, “[w]hen the iPhone doesn’t change, Android phones get weird.” We’ve seen penta-camera smartphones, swivel-camera pop-up smartphones, 21:9 smartphones, wearable smartphones, foldable smartphones, and so much more. But no matter how crazy the designs and cameras of new Android flagships get, we still see the same basic hardware: the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, similar batteries, fast wired charging, and bezel-less displays.

Yet, every flagship phone released this year has featured the same flash storage specification we’ve seen in flagships since 2017: UFS 2.1. With how flagship-focused we all tend to be, it’s easy to overlook the storage types in favor of sto...
