256GB microSDXC for mobile gaming

The Lexar PLAY microSDXC card provides 256GB of storage for games, photos and 4K video on smartphones, tablets and portable consoles. It carries a UHS-I V30 speed class and an A2 application performance rating for faster app loading. The bundle includes a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A card reader for quick file transfers to a PC. Lexar backs the card with a five-year limited warranty.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A reader included

The supplied reader connects the microSDXC card to any standard Type-A port at up to 5 Gbps bus speed. This lets you offload large media libraries or game installs without relying on a device's built-in slot or slower wireless sync. No extra cables or adapters are required to move data between mobile gear and a desktop or laptop.

V30 sustained write for 4K capture

A V30 rating guarantees a minimum sequential write speed of 30MB/s, which is the deciding factor for reliable 4K UHD video recording. The card also reaches up to 205MB/s read and 140MB/s write in burst transfers. Buyers who need guaranteed sustained write performance above 30MB/s for higher-bitrate codecs should verify their device requirements.

Questions about this item

Will the 256GB capacity or A2 rating wear out and require replacement?

The card uses 256GB of flash memory rated for A2 application performance; flash endurance depends on write cycles, so heavy daily installs will age it faster than occasional media storage.

What limit appears first during sustained 4K recording — the V30 minimum write speed or the 140MB/s peak?

V30 guarantees a 30MB/s floor for continuous 4K capture, while the 140MB/s figure is a burst maximum; the sustained limit will be the V30 threshold.

How hot or loud does the bundled USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A reader get during all-day transfers?

The reader has no moving parts and draws power from the USB port, so it runs silent and stays only slightly warm even during extended 205MB/s read sessions.
