KIOXIA Puts a Mammoth 2TB Inside a microSDXC Card
KIOXIA today released the maximum possible storage capacity for the microSDXC standard of 2 TB, with the release of the Exceria Plus G2 microSDXC 2 TB model. It is also the highest data storage density among any storage device by physical volume. To pull this off, KIOXIA innovated a NAND flash device that stacks sixteen 1 terabit (128 GB) layers, with a Z-height for the package being just 0.8 mm. The card meets UHS Class 3. application class A1, and video class V30, which means an assured write speed of at least 30 MB/s. The company claims maximum sequential read speeds of 100 MB/s, with 90 MB/s maximum write speeds. KIOXIA has initially released the card in its home market of Japan, and hopes to release it in other markets soon.

Still i don't see this being very cost-competitive, must cost and arm and a leg, the speed is also quite modest, nowhere near the top(enough for 4K video still)
The SDXC standard itself implies maximum size limit - 2TB
Larger cards are microSDUC, haven't seen those ever, despite being announced many years ago.
2024 might be a good refresh year for an action cam and big card, Gopro12/Insta360 and a 1-2Tb card would do nicely :)
I really don't understand how you don't understand that.
