One year ago, Samsung announced its EVO Plus and PRO Plus microSD card series, even as it took an opposite direction with its high-end smartphones. Later on, the Korean giant brought out the 128GB PRO Plus microSD card, which was driven by an increase in 4K UHD video shooting from both action cameras and smartphones. Now, after hearing that Samsung had started mass-producing higher storage, the company is back to announce its first 256GB EVO Plus microSD card that is designed to give power users the data storage they need for the content they want.
The 256GB EVO Plus microSD card can provide up to 12 hours of 4K video recording, 33 hours of Full HD video recording, and allows users to store and view virtual reality and gaming content. The 256GB EVO Plus microSD card is available for smartphones and tablets (no surprise here) but can also work for 360-degree video recorders (we're thinking of the Gear 360 here) as well as action cameras and drones — with read speeds up to 95MB/s and write speeds of up to 90MB/s.
“Our EVO Plus 256GB microSD card, will provide consumers with large capacity, and high read and write speeds. We are excited to offer our customers convenient and seamless multimedia experiences when they access, store and share all of the content they create and capture,” said Brand Product Marketing and Memory Business Senior VP Un-Soo Kim.
There's been a floating rumor that the Galaxy Note 6 could see its microSD card storage rise from 200GB to 256GB, so Samsung's release of this new EVO Plus microSD card has interesting timing, to say the least. And yet, at this point, a 256GB-capacity Galaxy Note 6 is still a rumor in the never-ending rumor mill.
