| Model | UFS Storage | |---------------------|-------------| | Honor Magic 5 | UFS 3.1 | | Honor Magic 5 Pro | UFS 4.0 | The Honor Magic 5 Pro is equipped with UFS 4.0 storage, while the Honor Magic 5 offers UFS 3.1 storage. UFS 4.0 is the latest edition of the UFS standard, delivering significantly faster performance than UFS 3.1. For instance, UFS 4.0 has a peak sequential read speed of 4200 MB/s, in contrast to UFS 3.1, which reaches a max sequential read speed of 2108 MB/s. This implies that applications will load more swiftly, file transfers will be quicker, and games will run smoother on the Honor Magic 5 Pro. Moreover, UFS 4.0 is more power-efficient than UFS 3.1, indicating the Honor Magic 5 Pro should achieve superior battery life overall. If the highest possible performance and battery life are your priorities, the Honor Magic 5 Pro is unequivocally the optimal choice.

Storage type should be UFS 3.1, not UFS 4.0.
