The SanDisk Ultra microSD card was launched by Western Digital at IFA 2017, where it was claimed to be its highest capacity microSD card ever.

The microSD card is ideal for Android smartphones and tablets, and can hold up to 40 hours of full-HD videos, the company claims.

Buyers of the 400GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card get access to the updated SanDisk Memory Zone app. With the app, users will have more control over their smartphone's memory storage, as they can easily locate, organise, transfer, and back up data, including tagged content from Facebook and Instagram. The free app is available for download from the Google Play store and is compatible with most Android handsets.

Also, the microSD card is based on the Application Performance Class 1 (A1) specification that is acclaimed to help launch and load apps quickly using optimisation. Additionally, a Class 10 rating allows users to shoot full-HD videos and capture high-quality images.
