Not to be confused with the Unix filesystem of the same name, UFS chips, are the spiritual successor to eMMC chips used in laptops and phones.
UFS In The Real World
One of the first mass market phones to use a UFS chip for their data was the Samsung Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge. These phones occupy a strange place in the market, as they use the newer type of chip, but didn’t ship with encryption turned on. This leaves them still recoverable by chip-off techniques. Future Samsung phones from the Galaxy S7 onwards feature encryption that makes chip-off recovery impossible in most cases, even though they use similar storage chips.
