Shortly after the Google Pixel 9 series was announced, internet rumors started to swirl that, once again, the phone would ship with UFS 3.1 class storage instead of cutting-edge UFS 4.0. So we asked Google and can confirm this is indeed the case.
The Google Pixel 9 and Pro models all come with UFS 3.1 storage, even if you pick one of the expensive memory options. By contrast, Samsung only uses UFS 3.1 for its most affordable 128GB Galaxy S24 but ships faster UFS 4.0 storage on its 256GB and larger models.
