Why the Pixel 10’s UFS 4.0 storage upgrade won’t actually speed things up

Our Pixel 10 AMA was filled with great questions, but a couple of them stood out to me regarding the upgrade to UFS 4.0 storage. If you missed the news, Google has finally ditched the aging UFS 3.1 flash storage type for the far more impressive data speeds of UFS 4.0 and Zoned UFS (ZUFS) technology to improve age-related wear and tear.

That is, as long as your new phone has 256GB of storage or more. The 128GB Pixel 10 and 10 Pro still have UFS 3.1 memory, just like all of last year’s Pixel 9 models. So, is it worth upgrading to the more expensive Pixel 10 models with UFS 4.0?
