[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
+1 Huge Thanks for your effort

1. Keep in mind that UFS get's improved. The last version I saw was UFS 2.1 on ads about S? (sorry can't remeber)

2. UFS must be way faster than all the permanent storage we have come across, ecpecially in access time. Otherwise we would never see a fast new phone even at first turn on.

3. I repeat to remind: Apple PERHAPS due to MARKETING (getting more $ by selling larger internal-spaced Iphones) or due to FACT or BOTH resigned of using any kind of external card. Imagine that they even didnt invented a one that works exclusively with Iphone. Why? Cause once again - internal storage speed of smartphone is mega fast - we don't have to check it - think logicly i t must be.

4. Maybe Offtopic: Smartphones use RAM, imagine that they used even the old DDR3 smartphone standard. The best was/is LPDDR4X made by Samsung and sold worldwide to other OEMs like Xiaomi.

5. Fun fact: the speed of smartphone RAM has huge impact on the speed of whole smartphone. In Laptops or desktop PCs the difference in speed are marginal, a typical user wouldn't even notice the change. Only gamer who counts FPS (frames per second) and user that launches RAM benchmark will see a difference but in everyday use it's worthless to invest high speed RAM. The old rule says: always get more slower ram than less faster ram. I can imagine only a one scenario in home computing that could make user notice: an upgrade from lowest frequency DDR3 to highest frequency DDR4 and a point in game where at DDR3 we have 25 frames per second (that's almost good but lags) and after upgrade we have 35 frames per second (human eye sees that as smooth no lagging movement) or better yet over 60 FPS - it is more smooth AND with DDR3 to DDR4 upgrade comes a must with at least two things: newer motherboard and newer CPU (processor). That's the ONLY scenario that I could think of that is worth upgrading ram to faster and look how many things have to be achieved at the same time for user to feel that.

6. In smartphones try taking 2 types of video with your main(back, rear): camera(s): FullHD (1920x1080) @ 30 frames per second and the same resolution at 60 frames per second. The 60FPS video clip will be just awesome, you will love it, especially when the phone supports optical image/video stabilization. Samsung was is and probably still be unbeatable at making best videos of ALL smartphones. That is its BEST feature. With images the other brands are catching up and maybe having even A LITTLE BIT better photos.

7. For the ppl that didn't know: there is a special ranking page that gives points for the sum of image+video quality of a given phone and recently it also evaluates the selfie quality. Experts use it quite often even here on XDA to prove their point of view. The ranking is called DXoMARK - www.dxomark.com - please check out and find your smartphone (bad news: months ago many of the devices were deleted from that ranking - I don't know why). It's sad. If you can't find it on the main page here it is on the right side of the screen - the ranking - https://www.dxomark.com/category/smartphone-reviews/
