Samsung EVO Select 256GB
Score: 80/100
SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB
Score: 84/100Rankings

The SanDisk Extreme PRO 128 GB SDXC offers top-tier read performance and rugged durability, making it ideal for 4K UHD shooting and burst photography. Its write speed is modest for sustained high-bitrate video and it carries a premium price. Best suited for professionals needing reliability and fast off-loads without UHS-II support.

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. Its main trade-off is a modest warranty period and potential speed drops on older devices. Ideal for Android phones, tablets and cameras where large storage and ruggedness are needed.
