JEDEC has officially announced UFS 5.0 (Universal Flash Storage) in October 2025, bringing a huge leap in speed and efficiency for smartphones, tablets, and even cars.
If UFS 4.0 was fast, UFS 5.0 takes it to another level. It offers up to double the data transfer speeds of the previous generation, allowing apps to open instantly, videos to load smoother, and files to move in seconds.
Aside from raw performance, UFS 5.0 also comes with better power efficiency. That means devices can handle all that speed without draining your battery too quickly perfect for the power-hungry AI features and 8K video recording found in modern phones.
Experts expect UFS 5.0 to start appearing in flagship phones launching in 2026, possibly from brands like Samsung, Xiaomi, and OnePlus. With this upgrade, mobile devices are about to get even faster, more responsive, and more future-ready than ever before.
In short:
●Announced: October 2025 by JEDEC
