Overview

• Google confirmed that all Pixel 10 variants with 256GB or more storage use UFS 4.0, while 128GB tiers remain on UFS 3.1.
• Pixel 10 Pro, Pro XL, and Pro Fold models with 512GB or 1TB add Zoned UFS, which Google says improves responsiveness and long‑term endurance, with full technical details still pending.
• Reported peak performance for UFS 4.0 reaches about 4,200 MB/s reads and 2,800 MB/s writes versus roughly 2,100/1,200 MB/s on UFS 3.1, alongside notably better power efficiency.
• Reviewers note real‑world gains may be modest for typical users even as the change contributes to a faster and more efficient experience across the device lifecycle.
• This marks the first major Pixel storage upgrade since the Pixel 6 generation, and reports suggest 512GB+ ZUFS configurations may not be available in every market.
