Yes, the type of storage used in a phone can make a difference in performance:

These differences may not be drastic but can be noticeable, especially when compared to devices with other storage solutions.
- Flagship vs Budget phones: Most flagship Android phones utilize UFS-type storage, providing better performance, while budget phones often come with cheaper eMMC-type storage, which may offer slower performance.
- Apple’s NVMe-type storage: Apple uses faster and more expensive NVMe-type storage in its devices, which is commonly found in computers. This type of storage typically offers superior performance compared to UFS or eMMC storage used in many smartphones.
