[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] Samsung Electronics launched new micro SD card products, 'Pro Plus (PRO PLUS)' and 'Evo Plus (EVO PLUS),' on the 8th.

Pro Plus and Evo Plus are micro SD cards first released in 2015, mainly used as expandable storage for mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and action cams. This time, Samsung expects to satisfy not only general consumers but also creators producing high-spec content like 4K UHD videos by enhancing performance and designing a shock-resistant exterior.

The Pro Plus offers read and write speeds of up to 160MB/s and 120MB/s respectively, approximately 1.6 times and 1.3 times faster than the previous generation, while the Evo Plus provides a maximum read speed of up to 130MB/s, about 1.3 times faster than its predecessor.

Both product lines feature special protective functions against six types of external shocks: waterproof, heat-resistant, X-ray, magnetic, drop, and abrasion, ensuring stable use of micro SD cards even in harsh environments. Samsung Electronics explained that internal tests verified the heat protection function for memory card operation between -25°C and 85°C, and non-operation between -40°C and 85°C, as well as abrasion protection for up to 10,000 swipes.

Lee Kyu-young, Executive Director of Samsung Electronics Brand Products Biz Team, said, "As demand for high-performance storage explodes, the market's demand for memory cards that allow smoother data use and safer storage has increased," adding, "We will continue to satisfy diverse consumer needs through the launch of next-generation micro SD card product lines that combine performance, reliability, and durability."
