Google has officially confirmed that all Pixel 9 models will be equipped with UFS 3.1 memory, although many were expecting UFS 4.0.< /p>
This turn of events is unlikely to please buyers, because UFS 3.1 is usually found in devices of the mid-range price segment to reduce costs.
The test results showed that the reading and writing speed of the Pixel 9 significantly inferior to competitors. For example, the basic model reaches a speed of 980 MB/s, and the Pixel 9 Pro XL — 911MB/s, while the Zenfone 11 Ultra with UFS 4.0 boasts a speed of 2130MB/s.
Of course, in general, users won't notice the difference between UFS 3.1 and UFS 4.0. Most likely, the search giant hopes for good optimization and a well-developed interface that can compensate for the shortcomings of using the outdated UFS 3.1 memory.
