Recent reviews by several digital bloggers have claimed that the Huawei Mate40 Pro's flash memory read and write speeds are superfast, and they speculate that this could be because Huawei has optimized the UFS 3.1 technology to the max. However, the newly released teardown report shows that this is not the case.
A Chinese tech reviewer first spotted the flash memory with the HiSilicon logo on it after the Mate40 RS Porsche design was torn down, which seems to have indicated that Huawei already has its own flash memory.
Other users have claimed that Huawei's Mate40 Pro, 40 Pro+, and Mate40 RS Porsche designs use a new type of flash memory (possibly sfs 1.0) that Huawei has developed in-house.
However, Huawei has never publicly mentioned this technology, nor did it mention it at the launch, so technical details are still unclear.
However, measurements have already shown that the Huawei Mate40 Pro's flash memory performance is extremely strong, with the Huawei Mate40 Pro achieving sustained read and write speeds of 1,966MB/s and 1,280MB/s respectively.
For comparison, the Mi 10 Supreme Edition reads and writes at 1772MB/s and 789MB/s, respectively; the Samsung Note 20 Ultra at 1750MB/s and 736MB/s.
Evidently, the Huawei Mate40 Pro flash memory write improvement is very obvious, an increase of more than 70%.
The Mate40 Pro's random reads are 383MB/s, and random writes are an exaggerated 548MB/s, almost double that of a typical UFS 3.1 model.
