Expand storage on phones and consoles

The Lexar PLAY microSDXC card adds 256GB of space for games, movies, music and high-resolution photos on mobile devices and portable gaming consoles. It is built for users who need a single card to hold large media libraries and keep them accessible wherever the device goes.

Speed class that matches the workload

The card carries UHS-I, V30 and A2 ratings, delivering up to 205MB/s read and 140MB/s write. Those figures decide whether the card can sustain 4K video capture and launch apps quickly on compatible hardware. Buyers who need sustained write speeds above 140MB/s or a UHS-II interface will not be served by this model.

Operates within 0°C to 70°C

The card is rated for an operating temperature range of 32°F to 158°F (0°C to 70°C) and humidity tolerance of 25% to 95%. It contains no moving parts, so it runs silently and draws minimal power during normal read and write activity.

Questions about this item

What does 205 MB/s read speed mean when the card is inside a Switch or phone?

The 205 MB/s figure is the peak sequential read the card can deliver; real-world game-load times depend on the device’s controller and file layout, so actual throughput will be lower.

What does the UHS-I V30 rating cap in practice?

UHS-I limits the bus to a single row of pins, and the V30 mark guarantees at least 30 MB/s sustained write, which keeps 4K video recording stable.

What does the card need to fit and mount in my device?

It uses the standard microSDXC form factor, so any slot labelled microSDXC or microSDHC accepts it physically; the 256 GB capacity requires a device that supports the SDXC specification.
