Samsung is now mass-producing 1 TB microSD cards, sales will begin in Q3 '24
Samsung revealed today two new milestones for its memory business. The company is now sampling 256 GB SD Express microSD cards, and also revealed it commenced mass production of 1 TB UHS-1 microSD cards.
The SD Express cards by Samsung can reach up to 800 MB/s read speed, which is faster than a SATA SSD (up to 560 MB/s) and 4x faster than traditional UHS-1 memory cards (up to 200 MB/s). The cards will have a Dynamic Thermal Guard (DTG) to maintain the optimum temperature even during long usage sessions.
Samsung created the 1 TB microSD card by stacking eight layers of its 8-gen V-NAND technology. The new card has already passed “the industry's most rigorous test settings” and should offer reliable usage even in extreme temperatures.
The 256 GB SD Express microSD card will be made available for purchase later this year. The 1 TB micro SD card will launch in the third quarter of 2024.

Not me. No such thing as "phone should be damn slow". If anything, the transfer speed from my microSD card remains the same as the first day I bought it.
