Kingston Canvas Select Plus 256 GB microSDXC

This Kingston Canvas Select Plus microSDXC card delivers 256 GB of storage with UHS-I read speeds up to 150 MB/s. It carries Class 10, U1, V10 and A1 ratings, making it suitable for Android smartphones, tablets and entry-level cameras that need reliable everyday capacity.

Ideal for Android users and casual photographers

The card works well for people who want ample space for apps, photos and Full HD video on a single device. Buyers who need sustained write performance for 4K recording or professional workflows should look at cards with higher video speed class ratings.

UHS-I 150 MB/s read speed

The 150 MB/s sequential read figure determines how quickly files and apps load from the card. Write speed is lower, so continuous high-bitrate video capture may exceed the card's capability.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 256GB Canvas Select Plus or the 128GB version for the same 150MB/s read speed?

Both 128GB and 256GB models deliver up to 150MB/s read speed with UHS-I, U1, V10 and A1 ratings, so capacity is the only difference.

What does the 150MB/s read figure mean when I put this card in my Android phone?

The 150MB/s is a maximum sequential read speed; real-world app launches and file transfers will be lower but the A1 rating guarantees smooth multitasking performance.

The card is UHS-I U1 and V10 — what does that cap in practice?

U1 and V10 both guarantee a minimum sustained write speed of 10MB/s, which is the floor for Full HD video recording and typical app workloads.
