Rank #7 in Best 1TB microSD Card 2026: 10 Ranked, Read vs Write
Samsung EVO Select (2024) 1TB microSD + Adapter
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Samsung EVO Select (2024) is a 1 TB microSD card sold with an SD adapter, listed at £182.99 and sitting seventh in this guide, between the £157.99 SanDisk Extreme and the £270.99 Lexar PLAY PRO. Its Amazon rating is 4.7 from 4,938 ratings. The finding for this one is not a missing number but a contradicting set: the title calls it UHS-I U3, the speed bullet calls it UHS-I U1, and the spec table calls it Class 10 — three different speed-class answers on the same page. The bullet also quotes up to 160 MB/s transfer speed while the same listing's spec table gives Media Speed as 120, and no write speed appears anywhere.
Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as it is written. No figure here comes from our own testing, and we have not measured the card.
