Samsung announces new SW to boost mobile phone memory

Samsung has announced some new software that will boost the built-in memory on it’s Smartphones. The memory in question is the embedded flash memory portion within devices (i.e. OneNAND, Flex-OneNAND and moviNAND).

Apparently the “boost” is that of performance – as we know, with any kind of request/retrieve operation to memory (be it solid-state or other), there is a lag time (albeit usually tiny) involved.

In effect, says Business Wire, those data movements within the memory, that are given instructions by the operating system, are speeded up. The new file system/flash driver combination, when working with any of the memory chips and the operating system, will boost performance through faster booting, downloading and searching.

So there you go! Will we notice it? Probably not explicitly, but anything that reduces those pauses that all devices occasionally have when processing user commands will be a good thing……
