Samsung has introduced its latest Samsung Pro Plus microSD cards and Evo Plus microSD cards, offering capacities up to 1TB.

The Pro Plus models boast speeds of up to 180MB/s read and 130MB/s write, while the Evo Plus cards offer 160MB/s read and 120MB/s write speeds. All cards are rated A2 for application storage, U3, and V30 for general storage and 4K video recording.
Available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB sizes, the Evo Plus also includes a slower 64GB variant.
