Is this card fast enough for 4K video?

It handles 4K at moderate bitrates, but its write speed is below premium cards. For high-bitrate or high-frame-rate 4K, a UHS-II or V30-rated card is safer.

Does it come with an SD adapter?

Yes. The package includes a full-size SD adapter, so the card fits SD slots in laptops, cameras and readers.

Will it work in a Nintendo Switch?

Yes. The Switch takes microSDXC cards, and 512GB holds a large game library.

Is it compatible with phones and tablets?

It works in devices with a microSDXC slot. Many recent flagship phones have dropped the slot, so check yours first.

How does it compare with the SanDisk Extreme?

The SanDisk Extreme has higher write speeds for action cameras and burst shooting. The EVO Plus is a dependable everyday card for phones, handhelds and general storage.

How do I check the card is genuine?

Test its real capacity and speed with a tool like H2testw or CrystalDiskMark after buying. A card that reports far less than 512GB or much slower speeds is likely counterfeit.

Our take on the Samsung 512GB EVO Plus V5 NAND microSD MemoryCard

The Samsung EVO Plus is a 512GB microSDXC card with a UHS-I interface and a rated read speed of up to 100MB/s. It ships with a full-size SD adapter, so it fits card readers, laptops and cameras as well as phones, tablets, drones and action cams. Against SanDisk Extreme and Kingston Canvas Go Plus cards it is a solid everyday choice rather than a top-speed pick: its write speed is well below what 4K action cameras and burst shooting want. Owners rate it for reliability and capacity, and it is the card most people should buy for a phone or a Switch-style handheld.
