The new card features higher speed and capacity for capturing and moving massive amounts of high-quality photos and videos on smartphones, drones and action cameras. These impressive levels of capacity and speed give consumers the ability to create all the content they want without worrying about space limitations or long transfer times.
Today's smartphones and cameras allow consumers to create high-quality content in the palm of their hands, thanks to features like multi-lenses, burst mode capabilities and the 4K resolution. Western Digital continues to deliver the most advanced solutions to ensure consumers can reliably capture and share a special moment or create video content for personal or professional use.
"People trust SanDisk-brand cards to capture and preserve their world. Our goal is to deliver the best possible experience so consumers can share the content that's important to them," said Brian Pridgeon, director of marketing for SanDisk-branded products, Western Digital.

The cards reach these record-breaking speeds by leveraging Western Digital's proprietary flash technology. The new SanDisk Extreme card will also be available in 512GB* capacity, and will feature the A2 specification for launching and loading apps at blazing speeds. The 1TB and 512GB SanDisk Extreme UHS-I microSD cards are available for pre-order now on SanDisk.com, and will be available at select retailers in April 2019. The cards will be priced at U.S. MSRPs of $449.99 and $199.99, respectively.

Unbelievable, 1TB in something the size of a pinky fingernail.
Price be damned, I'm amazed of the technology !
The beginning of the article seems to imply that.
It's just one of those things that kind of happen these days in the background thankfully, as long as you have an adequate data connection...
If I wouldn't be old school and listening to mp3 on my phone, even the 64GB card which I currently have, is overkill for me.
imagine losing this or inhaling it, that's a lot of porn digested. lmao.
but a way to keep a certain collection handy.
on a more serious note nothing will prolly support it for a while. most phones don't have expandable storage,
You are mistaken. I have a Nexus 5 and it has a microsd. Fairly certain most of the rest do too.It seems I was mistaken. Just went and looked, it does not. Suddenly remembered why I never liked the damn thing. I was thinking of my old Motorola.
