This is quite a big deal. UFS in the past has typically lagged behind NVMe slightly in real world implementations. It's good to hear that the alternative (UFS) can be even faster.
Wait, iPhones use NVME?
Yes. This is how the storage is presented to the operating system. It's an internal interface however. You certainly can't install your own NVMe storage into an iPhone.
I mean, of course. Can you imagine a financially accessible Apple product letting you make hardware changes?
And all that speed will be wasted on Samsung bloatware. I'm so happy I stopped using Samsung products years ago, it turned into yet another HP, riding the customer goodwill to squeeze every dollar out of people
Getting a non carrier Samsung phone is fine. Doesn't come with any social media or media bloat and can easily disable or uninstall Samsung dupe apps outside of Samsung pay. Was the case on my S20 and my wife's S23 isnt bad either
One tip that I'd like to add: you can connect ADB and user disable packages even if you can't uninstall them in the GUI. This helped me slim down an S21. I recommend doing this when you first get the phone rather than later in case you disable something important, so you can reset and be on your way before you really get set up.
I always prefer a leaner system, but it can be quite serviceable.
I dont know, I'm pretty happy with my S22 running OneUI 6.1 and it feels really fast. Also, the native apps like Health, Notes, Mail and Calendar are really good, and I don't use Browser because it doesn't have a desktop app to share bookmarks like Firefox.
