Silicon Power 128GB microSDXC
Score: 82/100Rankings

Silicon Power's 128 GB microSDXC card offers near-premium UHS-I performance with up to 100 MB/s read and 80 MB/s write, rugged durability, and A2 app support, making it a budget-friendly choice for 4K video, gaming, and mobile storage. The inclusion of an SD adapter adds versatility, though some variants have slower write speeds and occasional quality control issues.

The Kingston Canvas Select Plus 128 GB provides reliable Full HD performance, solid durability and a lifetime warranty at a budget-friendly price, but it lacks the higher speed classes needed for 4K video and high-speed write-intensive tasks.

Professional reviewers consistently commend the Canvas Select Plus for its dependable performance, A1 app optimization, and rugged build, positioning it as a solid everyday microSD solution. However, they all agree that the card falls short for 4K video or high-performance camera needs because it lacks V30/U3 certification.
Everyday users overwhelmingly praise the card for faster app launches, reliable Full HD recording, and the peace of mind from a lifetime warranty. The main complaints revolve around its inability to handle 4K video smoothly and occasional confusion over slightly reduced usable capacity after formatting.

“Works perfectly with my Samsung Galaxy phone-apps load faster.”

“Used it in my GoPro-recorded Full HD videos without any issues.”

“Great for my Nintendo Switch-loads games quickly and has plenty of space.”




Professional reviewers position the Silicon Power 128GB as a cost-effective challenger that delivers near-premium performance. The Superior Pro UHS-I version is praised for its 80 MB/s write speed, making it suitable for 4K video on drones and action cams, while the A2 variant is highlighted for its superior app performance on Android and Nintendo Switch devices.
Everyday users consistently rate the card 4.5+ stars, lauding its fast load times on the Nintendo Switch, rugged build that survives rain and heat, and reliable 4K video capture without dropped frames. The most common complaints revolve around occasional mislabeled units, slower-than-advertised write speeds on some devices, and rare premature failures.
