Looks like be in their budget phones like a52 5g this will be interesting , be like virtual memory.

I still prefer flagship Samsung that has more actual memory, but this might be good for users of budget devices.

Agree !

Well, if it offers any performance increase at all and help mitigate any lag then...yay!

Oy issue with this is that the internal NAND flash is gonna wear out much quicker... PC SSDs are one thing cause they're designed for that, but this... It's kinda like using a USB stick or SD card for virtual memory... All flash memory has a finite number of timea you can write to it.

Samsun may be doing something with the NAND flash to make it more durable. Who knows?

Even your PC SSD will wear out writing to it repeatedly.

Its going be interesting what issues arise in the real world usage.

Yeah but SSDs usually have much more durable flash than a cell phone. One thing would be if they released new phones with this and some better flash, but updating old ones is not the best IMO. This type of virtual memory stuff stinks of those memory extenders I had to use on my first Android phone that had only 512MB RAM, but I used a replaceable SD card for that. Internal storage is not replaceable.
