COMPATIBILITY: UFS card is only compatible with Samsung Notebook and Samsung Galaxy Chromebook at this time
Universal Flash Storage (UFS) 1.0 is a new format of expandable storage developed by Samsung that offers data transfer speeds more than five times faster than current UHS-I microSD cards. UFS 1.0 cards are similar in size to the microSD format but will offer read speeds of up to 530 MB/s and write speeds of up to 170MB/s. It is predicted that a UFS 1.0 card will be able to read a 5GB full HD movie 5 seconds. This would take a standard microSD card more than 50 seconds
I normally hate when there are media changes like SD to MiniSD to MicroSD, but MicroSD has had its time to shine and I welcome a new faster media. However, I hope Samsung isn't going to make this media exclusive to them or charge $$$ for others to use it. If they are doing one of those things, i fear it'll suffer the same fate as Sony's Magic Memory Sticks.

The next generation of devices (phones/tablets/card readers) should be capable of reading these and be backwards compatible to micro sd
They are physically the same size as current gen micro sd but the pins on the back are laid out differently
