Microdia outs Xtra Elite 512GB microSD card

Microdia, a company based in San Jose, California has revealed at Computex 2015 their Xtra Elite microSD card with a capacity of 512GB.

Back in March, SanDisk introduced its 200GB microSD card which it claims, at that time, as the world’s highest capacity microSD card. The claim is short-lived though as Microdia has recently introduced the Xtra Elite microSDXC SD4.0 UHS-II 512GB card.

The Microdia Xtra Elite claims read/write speeds of up to 300MB/s. Coupled with a large memory capacity, this card is obviously aimed at devices that shoot a ton of 4K videos and high-res photos.

As for the price, CNET reports that it will cost around $1,000PHP 58,686INR 84,750EUR 952CNY 7,278 (almost Php45,000USD 767INR 65,007EUR 730CNY 5,585) and will launch in July. To put the price into perspective, SanDisk’s 200GB microSD card costs Php18,000USD 307INR 26,003EUR 292CNY 2,234. You can even buy a 64GB iPhone 6 (Php42,000USD 716INR 60,673EUR 682CNY 5,212) for that amount.
