the main differences between the F2FS and EXT4 file systems so we won’t go too deep into them here, but in a nutshell, F2FS is a newer system which was initially developed by Samsung itself.

enthusiasts should be aware that the foldable phone employs UFS 3.0 too, and in light of this new Tab S6-related finding, it’s fairly safe to assume that the Fold might also rely on the F2FS file system.

There’s not much known about the Galaxy S11 at this point, but the series is definitely a prime contender.
