Samsung could slot UFS 5.0 storage into a handful of next‑generation Galaxy S27 phones, a move that would boost sequential read speeds to 10.8 GB/s.

A South Korean tipster on Naver claims Samsung weighs price and mass‑production costs before choosing which models receive the upgrade. The Galaxy S27 Ultra, already rumored to keep its 200‑MP main sensor, seems the most likely candidate.

Should the Ultra adopt UFS 5.0, users would see noticeably faster app launches and media transfers, while the rest of the S27 lineup stays on UFS 4.0. The decision highlights Samsung’s balancing act between performance and cost as it prepares for a 2025 release.

Ultimately, only the S27 Ultra may benefit from the faster storage, leaving other variants unchanged.
