Embedded MMC

eMMC became widely used as the primary storage medium in early smartphones, and later in low-cost laptop computers, Chromebooks, tablet computers, and other compact computing devices. While it was gradually supplanted in higher-performance devices by alternatives such as Universal Flash Storage (UFS) in smartphones and solid-state drives (SSDs) in computers, eMMC continued to be used in entry-level products due to its low cost, compact form factor, low power consumption, and adequate performance for everyday tasks such as web browsing, email, and video streaming.
