OnePlus 6 Tipped to Feature Dual-Channel UFS 2.1 Flash Memory Delivering Up to 1.5GB/s Transfer Rates

The OnePlus 6 launch date is nearing and with every passing day, we’re receiving information about the features included in the smartphone. Today’s leak comes from Chinese portal MyDrivers tipping that the OnePlus 6 will feature the dual-channel UFS 2.1 flash memory standard to deliver transfer rates of up to 1.5GB/s. As per Solid State Technology Association (JEDEC), the dual-channel UFS 2.1 will use a single channel to deliver insane read and write speeds, and the OnePlus 6 is going to include that. Most of the smartphones releasing these days are coming with eMMC storage which can deliver up to 400MB/s data transfer rates.

UFS 2.1 flash memory is the highest storage standard available today. Of course, the UFS 3.0 with exceptional transfer rates was slated to arrive in Q1 2018, but that didn’t happen, so expect the OnePlus 7 to feature UFS 3.0 next year, possibly. The OnePlus 6 will be able to deliver 1.5GB/s read and write speeds at the same time and that too in the same channel. Also, with the dual-channel UFS 2.1 memory, applications will load a bit faster and of course, the app installation time will be reduced too.

OnePlus has been using UFS memory on its smartphones for quite some time now. The OnePlus 5 and 5T also featured UFS 2.1 storage itself, but the data transfer rates were around 800MB/s, and that’s going to increase with the OnePlus 6.
