SEOUL, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. unveiled Wednesday two new high-density memory solutions for mobile devices, which will greatly expand its data storage density.
The new storage solutions, a 64-gigabyte (GB) moviNAND memory device and a 32 GB micro secure digital (microSD) memory card, will quench mobile handset designers' thirst for smaller, advanced compact high-density memory solutions, Samsung said.
"Samsung's high-density memory solutions bring the storage capacity levels of computing systems to small, mobile devices," said Dong-soo Jun, executive vice president of memory marketing at Samsung Electronics, adding that "it will usher in a new era of mobile and IT device capacity growth."
The 64GB moviNAND, measuring only 1.4 mm in height, does not require an external memory card slot in mobile devices and is now available in 64GB, 32GB, 16GB, 8GB, and 4GB densities, the company said.
The 32GB microSD card, developed this month, is the industry's highest capacity, production-ready microSD card that only measures1 mm in thickness and just 0.7 mm in height when inserted into a handset, it added.
Samsung's new 64GB moviNAND has been in mass production from December 2009, while the 32GB microSD is now being sampled with OEMs, with mass production expected next month.
