For the first time ever consumers can hold an
unprecedented 20 hours of Full HD video1 on a fingernail-sized
memory card
MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS - SanDisk Corporation
(NASDAQ:SNDK), a global leader in flash storage solutions, today
introduced the 200GB* SanDisk Ultra® microSDXC™ UHS-I card, Premium
Edition, the world’s highest capacity microSD card for use in
mobile devices. In just one year after introducing its
record-breaking 128GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC card, SanDisk has
increased storage capacity by 56% within the same fingernail-sized
form factor. Keeping up with the demands of today’s mobile users,
the new card provides the freedom to capture, save and share
photos, videos and other files without worrying about storage
limitations.

“Mobile devices are completely changing the game. Seven out of
10 images captured by consumers are now from smartphones and
tablets. Consumers view mobile-first devices as their primary means
for image capture and sharing, and by 2019 smartphones and tablets
will account for nine out of 10 images captured,” said Christopher
Chute, Vice President, Worldwide Digital Imaging Practice, IDC. “As
the needs of mobile users continue to change, SanDisk is on the
forefront of delivering solutions for these demands as is clearly
illustrated through their growing portfolio of innovative products,
including the new 200GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC card.”
SanDisk achieved this capacity breakthrough by leveraging the
proprietary technology developed last year for the 128GB SanDisk
Ultra microSDXC card, and creating a new design and production
process that allows for more bits per die.
“We continue to push technology boundaries to deliver
record-breaking solutions that transform the way consumers use
their mobile devices,” said Dinesh Bahal, vice president, product
marketing, SanDisk. “By focusing on achieving new capacity and
speed milestones, we are able to deliver trusted mobile memory
solutions that give consumers the freedom to never stop capturing,
saving, or sharing – with the benefit of fast speeds to transfer it
all quickly.”
Ideal for Android™ smartphone and tablet users, this Premium
Edition microSD card combines the world’s highest capacity and
blazingly fast transfer speed of up to 90MB/s to deliver premium
performance. At this transfer speed, consumers can expect to move
up to 1,200 photos per minute2.
Through SanDisk’s updated Memory Zone app users will have even
greater control over their mobile device's memory storage. In the
Memory Zone app, users can engage the OptiMem™ app feature which
monitors the phone’s memory levels to inform users whenever the
internal memory falls below a user-defined threshold. Once this
threshold is reached, the OptiMem app feature will automatically
transfer some of their old photos and videos to their microSD card,
leaving them with more internal memory to continue making memories.
The app, available for free download from the Google Play™ store,
is compatible with most Android-powered devices and allows users to
easily locate, organize, transfer and back up data.
Pricing and Availability
The 200GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card, Premium Edition,
features a ten-year limited warranty3 and will be available
worldwide in Q2 at an MSRP of $399.99.
