It’s not clear yet if Google is working with other feature phone makers as well (Nokia might be a good candidate).
6)Samsung 512GB memory chips
Samsung has announced its first ever 512GB Embedded Universal Flash Storage(eUFS).The chip consists of eight 64-layer 512GB V-NAND chips and a controller chip.It doubles the density of Samsung’s previous 48-layer 256 eUFS chips and takes up the same amount of space. According to numbers supplied by Samsung, read/write performance is impressive. Sequential read speeds reach as high as 860 MB/s and write speeds are up to 255 MB/s.
