In the new development to the upcoming phablet from Samsung, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 may feature 256GB of internal storage.
We say this because, according to the report in The Business Wire, Samsung has begun mass production of 256GB V-NAND Memory chips, which indicates it might feature in Samsung Galaxy Note 8, set to release in August.
Presently, 48-layer 3-bit 256GB V-NAND flash is Samsung’s fastest chip. Compared to 48-layer 3-bit 256GB V-NAND flash, the upcoming 64-layer 3-bit 256Gb V-NAND memory chip is better in four areas.
