Xiaomi’s Hugo Barra may disagree and won’t add a microSD card in their future flagship phones but most phone manufacturers will only continue to use such technology and even improve on it. It may be long before smartphones and tablets can accept those with high storage capacities but at least we know the tech is still here.
Over at the Computex, SanDisk introduced a 200GB microSDXC card. That one is already impressive but it was immediately beaten by a 512GB microSD card by a company known as Microdia. That’s more than half a GB alright, even bigger than the standard, bulky external hard drives I have in my possession.
Microdia’s 512GB microSD card is said to be released this coming July and we’re expecting a very high price tag probably almost twice as the $399 200GB SanDisk card. Microdia hints that price might be around a thousand bucks.
Small but terrible. That’s how I would describe the upcoming 512GB microSD card from Microdia. It’s not the only product shown off at the Computex by Microdia. An Xtra Elite microSD card with up to 300 Mb/s data transfer speed and SD 4.0 and UHS compliance was also sighted. Next year, we’re guessing that technology has more than improved and we’d be seeing 1TB microSD cards.
