SanDisk has announced a follow-up to their previous eMMC NAND storage at Mobile World Congress Shanghai. The iNAND 7232 parts use SanDisk's 15nm triple-level cell NAND, each with a 500MB to 1GB single-level cell cache to improve performance to SSD-like levels in smartphones. Sequential write performance is increased to 150 MB/s from the 125 MB/s limit of iNAND 7132.
While iNAND 7132 came in 16, 32, and 64 GB capacities, these new units will ship with 32, 64, or 128 GB of flash. It could signal a shift away from 16 GB smartphones and tablets, which have been maligned due to increasing storage demands and ballooning mobile operating systems.

TFA doesn't claim SSD like speeds. It says it uses a caching technique common to SSDs to tick write performance up to 150 MB/s from 125 MB/s with read performance sti at 280 MB/s. SSD on sata3 is 550/500 read/write with 600 peak. PCIe interfaces are even higher. They are offering good performance with low cost.

280 MB/s sequential read is close enough to 550 for me to call phone NAND "SSD-like".
Many phones don't seem to break [phonearena.com] 100 MB/s sequential reads.
