Samsung announces smaller and faster 64 GB memory chips for phones and tablets

Samsung just announced that it has created a 64 GB eMMC unit with the 10nm technology, that is 30% faster than the current solution, yet takes much less space inside your phone or tablet, leaving room for other things...

Thanks Samsung, because there are things that you don't want to put in storage clouds... Keep your secrets and or dirty laundry at home...

Plus, with the carriers wanting to limit your data and charge through the nose for overages ( now that they finally offer enough speed to actually use the cloud), it'll pay to keep as much stored locally as you can.

"Space for more things" had better mean the battery or a bone-conduction speaker. I'd like to see THAT in a mass-produced, high-end smartphone.

Yeah better speakers would be a nice next customer demand product to work on Samsung... I want the upgrade to that Note III to come with a Galaxy Blaster Sound, sound... hehehe good one... :)

Useless. The current chips are fast enough. And small enough.

Exactly. They should work on real innovation, like new types of rounded corners for rectangles.

Maybe they should make a parallelogram to avoid the "rectangular" device problem.

Faster, denser and more energy efficient memory. No surprise that it's from Samsung as they've been doing such things for what seems like forever in the computing space. Currently got a set of low profile DDR3 sticks for my desktop.

Yeah yeah yeah new technology yadda yadda yadda.
Listen Samsung! These things cost you like 5 dollars, so how about starting internal mobile storage from 128GB up to 512? OWN the competition with larger storage out of the box, I mean you want us to believe that cheap $200 netbooks come with hundreds of GBs of storage and you can't put 2 small, cheap 64GB flash memories into a $600 phone? Technology in mobile phones is 22th century, storage however is so 20th.

I think you are way off here. Their products are always right there with price/performance. Why do you think they are so succesfull ? I always feel like I get my moneys worth with Samsung products, but maybe I am just a fanboy.

No, I'm not way off here. The cost and space flash memory takes is almost non-existent compared to overall size and price of the product, there is nothing competitive in the way these companies rip you off in the name of storage.
It is ridiculous that computer alternatives such as tablets start at 16GB, many SD slot free, and you pay hundreds of dollars more to get 48GB more which costs companies a full $15. There's absolutely no way you can defend them bottlenecking highly advanced mobile computers with 1990s storage. Cloud would be a great thing if mobile data wasn't just as badly overpriced.
Time to end the nonsense and add proper storage to devices that cost as much as a mid-range full-feature laptops. With hundreds of gigs. You know I'm right.

To forever push the limits of technology.
if they came up with 1/2 tb, we'll ask for 1 tb. We should ask for more and they should deliver more.

We are already in the terabyte era, so starting at 128 gigs in the pricey ultra-hightech phones and tabs is pretty much a legitimate ask.

Yeah, maybe a few years down the road. But criticizing Samsung for putting 64GB instead of 0.5 TB is a bit far considering 64 GB is very high end these days.
I don't about you, but I don't need to store about 500 movies on my phone at all times. 64 GB is a welcome addition.

New SDXC Cards can hold up to 2TB. Happy with that?

I'm sorry to say this, but Samsung is just so much more awesome than Apple for this reason. The thing they do make more sense. Apple, "here is iCould, you can store anything there." But I'm sorry, sometime I just don't have wifi or cell signal. On broad storage is important for this reason.
