The Samsung PRO Ultimate 128 GB microSDXC provides industry-leading read/write speeds and rugged waterproof/shock protection, making it perfect for demanding 4K video and high-performance mobile gaming.

The Samsung EVO Select 256 GB microSDXC offers high capacity and fast UHS-I performance, backed by six-proof durability and an IPX7 waterproof rating.
