Samsung Galaxy S27 Series Tipped to Debut With UFS 5.0 Storage, But Only Select Models Might Get Upgraded

Samsung will reportedly adopt the UFS 5.0 storage to select models in the Galaxy S27 series. The decision is said to be influenced by rising costs and production challenges. Despite this shift, the base storage configurations are expected to remain unchanged. This suggests that the UFS 5.0 will be used in the flagship Galaxy S27 Ultra. For comparison, the Galaxy S26 Ultra was launched with UFS 4.0 storage.
