    i kinda find this weird, maybe i missing something?
    EVO PLUS and PRO PLUS all come with 10years warranty (source: https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/memory-card/)

    now this high endurance, only 5years (3years for smaller size)

    i understand they considering how people will abuse this card
    but then isnt that same with rest card with 10years warranty, abuse it or not, they should replace failed cards within warranty period, as there no such write-limit-term

    plus this pro endurance read/write speeds up to 100/40MB/s while pro plus 160/120MB/s, so my guess this one just a tick faster than evo-plus?
    anyway dont see point getting this, over pro plus, or if you can get cheaper evo-plus

          Shadocx, 04 May 2022Not missing the microSD slot at all, enough of slow storage... moreOh please, my two year old microSD card still have fast transfer speed to this day. It's your problem for getting a cheap fake China clone.

            Note that the 16 years is a best case scenario, and not a guarantee...

            At this it says "up to"

              Love the Community, 04 May 2022Nice, a good product for people with a Nintendo Switch and ... moreThe speed isn't faster. As the name suggests, the point is the endurance.

                Anonymous, 04 May 2022Endurance aren't really for phones Exactly batteries on smartphones barely survive 5 years... And these are 16 year running SD cards

                  Shadocx, 04 May 2022Not missing the microSD slot at all, enough of slow storage... moreIn the context of this particular SD card.. corrupted storage is virtually non existent

                  It is Hella slow for sure though

                      Article clearly states these micro SD cards are made for outdoor surveillance and heavy duty useage

                      With 16 year continuous recording potential

                      And what do people do in the comments.....

                      Talk about smartphone application SMH......

                          LGs, 04 May 2022But rly slow read And write, need ssd speed. New UFS 4.0 ... moreWhy do you need that speed to write full HD or 4k video in sd card? You will need more endurance than speed in those type of usage.

                              Not missing the microSD slot at all, enough of slow storage, corrupted cards and fake adoptable storage.

                                    Anders, 04 May 2022Hahaha. That's what I thought too. They're making... moreThe fact that they offer that in the past and not anymore is a sign of downfall and 'following' apple in the price segmentation, also to sell at a higher prices ... Shame.

                                      That should bring back GS phones SD card slot so they can sell more if this.

                                        The real question is, will these cards endure the lack of microSD Samsung is starving their current flagship? Because they could really use them. Hope the next flagship houses an SD card & a charger.
