With download speeds increasing amongst smartphones and tablets thanks to the adoption of LTE networks, having a storage that is able to write and read at fast speeds has become equally important. Thus, Samsung today announced that they’ve started mass producing Ultra High Speed-1 (UHS-1) cards that are apt for such devices.
Samsung says their first UHS-1 microSD card can reach sequential read speeds to up to 80MB/s which is almost 4 times faster than the current generation of high-speed microSD cards.
The microSD card will come in 16GB capacity that uses 20nm-class 64Gb chip with toggle DDR 2.0 support.
Samsung will also offer 32GB UHS-1 microSD cards later this year.
