Current trends indicate JEDEC UFS has made it first to market leaving its other counterparts MIPI CSI3 and MIPI DSI2 behind in the race to harness the advantages of MIPI UniPro and MIPI M-PHY.

At Arrow Devices, recently a casual lunch conversation turned in to intense debate on the reasons behind early adoption of JEDEC UFS over the MIPI CSI3 and MIPI DSI2. We compared these three technologies, as all three are end applications that will make use of MIPI UniPro and MIPI M-PHY as its service delivery mechanism.

So what led to the faster adoption of JEDEC UFS over MIPI CSI3 and MIPI DSI2?

Here is what we think on why this has happened…

In a nutshell, it was driven by the broader and higher impact of JEDEC UFS on user experience compared to MIPI CSI3 and MIPI DSI2.
