According to a number of major smartphone vendors (and our very own Mariyan Slavov), the good old fashioned microSD card is dead, going the way of the dodo (and the traditional headphone jack) as more and more handsets (especially high-end models) seem to offer enough internal storage space (not to mention room in the cloud) to make external expansion methods unnecessary.
Several members of the two hugely popular families of memory cards are currently marked down to some of their lowest ever prices, starting with the 256GB Extreme model. Reviewed no less than 240,000 (!!!) times by Amazon buyers alone for an average rating of 4.8 stars, the blazing fast microSDXC UHS-I card supporting up to 160MB/s read and 90MB/s write speeds respectively is on sale at a decent (and rare) 18 percent discount with 256 gigs of capacity.
Unfortunately, if that’s somehow not enough to keep your digital hoarding addiction in check, you’ll have to settle for a slightly slower 512GB Ultra variant at only 10 percent less than usual. Or you can opt for a costly 512 gig SanDisk microSDXC card licensed for the Nintendo Switch at a whopping $44 slashed off a $129.99 list price.
Both the Switch-licensed and Ultra options are also on sale today only at special prices with 256GB storage, and the latter should definitely be considered by Android handset-owning bargain hunters.
The same goes for the 256GB SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go and 1TB SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe flash drives if you use an Android device with a USB Type-C port and need something small and reliable to easily transfer your stuff to a USB-A computer while saving $7.51 and $19.56 respectively.
The affordable SanDisk iXpand 15W pad is a… pretty straightforward and self-explanatory product, but the 2-in-1 iXpand Sync is something else entirely, combining up to 10W wireless charging with automatic backups of your locally stored photos and videos while juicing up your compatible iPhone or Android handset.
