When
Samsung released its
256GB storage chip,
we were impressed.*
Today,
Samsung has doubled down on that. Literally. The Korean company announced it's begun production of a
512GB chip, the most powerful
chip the industry has ever seen, reports
BusinessWire.*
This
chip will
give upcoming flagship
Samsung phones unparalleled
storage capacity. They'll be able to store 130 10-minute 4K video clips. (A 64GB
chip could store only 13.)

Phones with the new
chip will feature increased speed and performance as well. A full, 5GB HD video can be transferred from
512GB chip to a solid-state hard drive in about six seconds,
Samsung says, which is over eight times faster than it takes to transfer one from a typical microSD card. And the phones will be advanced enough to handle multiple demanding operations at once, such as downloading a video while also searching through big files in dual-app mode.*
