With a Grade 3 (U3) Speed Grade, they are also optimized for high-resolution and 4K video recording devices. Additionally, 128GB and higher capacities support an application performance class of A2, which is important for running applications directly from the microSD card on mobile devices.

Samsung EVO Select and EVO Plus microSD cards also feature a video speed class rating of V30, so you can quickly transfer large video files. On top of that, they are backed by Samsung’s six-proof protection, making them resistant to water, extreme temperatures, x-ray exposure, wear-out, drops, and magnetic impact, ensuring durability and data security.

With the mobile and handheld gaming market on the rise, we sought to make data transfers on those devices even faster with these updated EVO Select and EVO Plus lines. We also heard the need for more space options like a 1TB memory card for digital files like games, video footage from phones, cameras and drones, photos, and creative designs.

With this addition to the lineup, you can be confident you’ll have plenty of space, fast speeds, and the durability needed to last for years to come. – Jose Hernandez, Senior Director of Memory Product Marketing at Samsung
