Samsung launches Sonic microSD cards in collaboration with Sega

Taking advantage of the upcoming release of the latest Sonic film, Samsung announced a partnership with Sega to bring prints of the characters to its PRO Plus line microSD cards. Each of the main mascots in the series has a different capacity on the cards.

The prints are made in silhouette style, in the main colors of each character they feature. Interestingly, Sonic does not appear in the most advanced option. Thus, Samsung’s PRO Plus line of microSD cards in collaboration with Sega looks as follows:

• 1TB option with Shadow
• 512GB option with Sonic
• 256GB option with Tails
• 128GB option with Knuckles

“Samsung PRO Plus microSD cards offer gamers, content creators and others a simple, reliable and secure way to store large amounts of data – delivering Sonic speed at their fingertips,” said Jim Kiczek, a Samsung executive.

The “Sonic speed” mentioned by Kiczek translates into up to 180MB/s for reading and up to 130MB/s for writing, across all capacity options. The cards are in microSDXC format with UHS-I interface, and come with U3, V30, A2 and Class 10 seals.

Price and availability of Samsung Sonic cards

Despite promoting its line of PRO Plus microSD cards with the Sonic print taking advantage of the arrival of the film, Samsung will not make the products available now. It is expected to go on sale in January, on the company’s official website. At least we already have the official prices.
