Are you sure it's a micro-SD card? The article says it's only a full size SD card for cameras, so not for smartphones.

These also say SD not micro-SD:

Largest micro-SD on Lexar site is still 512GB:

Kate's right. This is for a standard SD card only....

OK, so we can still tell anyone who posts here about a 1TB microSD that they've bought a fake, no matter what they paid for it?

Keeps things simple

@svim I edited the title and removed "micro."

Yeah, there are so many fake 1TB micro-SD cards for sale online, don't want people thinking they are real.

Good catch. My mistake then. This posting isn't valid.

Smartphone storage capacity is catching up to desktop/laptops.

I believe that a 1TB micro-SD card won't take long to show up.
