Want to store half a terabyte of photos and video on your smartphone? The U.K.-based Integral Memory could make it happen with the largest MicroSDXC available yet, the Integral Memory 512GB MicroSDXC V10.

Designed for adding space to Android phones for everything from videos to music, the company says the large capacity is the first 512GB MicroSDXC card type to ship. The SDXC card is also compatible with action cameras and other devices with a MicroSDHC slot, but the Class 10 speed means the card is designed for shooting in Full HD. Integral Memory doesn’t list 4K among the options, which typically requires faster speed ratings. The card has a maximum transfer speed of 80MB/s.

Still, cramming so much storage inside the tiniest popular type of SD card is no small task. Microdia announced a 512GB MicroSDXC in 2015, but after concern over limited availability, the high-capacity card never showed and is not included on the company’s website. The card joins SanDisk and Lexar’s 512GB options but those cards use the larger SD format. For the smaller MicroSD, Lexar launched a 256GB version last year that, unlike the new 512GB option, is designed for 4K video with transfers up to 150 MB/s and write speeds of 90 MB/s.

“Consumers have been clear in their call for increased storage, as mobile devices have become essential to many in everyday life,” James Danton, marketing manager at Integral Memory, said in a press release. “The need to provide extended memory for smartphones, tablets and a growing range of other mobile devices such as action cams and drones has been answered. As a company, we are very proud to be the first to achieve the 512GB capacity milestone in MicroSDXC, worldwide.”

The company says the new 512GB MicroSDXC card will be available beginning in February and that the MicroSDXC will be available worldwide. The company has not released pricing information yet, but the larger SD cards with the same storage space sell for several hundred dollars.

Integral Memory has been around since their 1989 start in London and now also has offices in France, Spain, and the Netherlands.

The 2025 Android phone I’m most looking forward to isn’t from Samsung or Google

2025 is rapidly approaching, and that can only mean one thing for a tech nerd like me: It's time to start looking forward to another year of smartphones. All signs are pointing to an interesting year for Apple with the iPhone 17, and I'm eager to see what comes of it.

But what about what's happening in the Android smartphone space? The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is just on the horizon, but I've yet to see anything that's made me really ecstatic about it. The Google Pixel 10 series should be a good one, but we've not heard enough about it yet.

There’s a glaring issue with Nothing Phones, and it isn’t pretty

I adore Nothing. It’s the first brand that redefined what it means to go bold with hardware design, UX aesthetics, and marketing in the past few years. The bright streak has continued well into 2024. The London-based upstart just pulled another surprise and beat big dogs like Samsung at rolling out the Android 15 update.

This company knows how to make a splash in meaningful ways. The Nothing Phone 2a, in particular, is my favorite. Digital Trends’ review fittingly labeled it as “a brilliant buy.” The recent glow-in-the-dark community edition trim was a true head-turner.

Apple’s futuristic iPhone display may not be released for a while longer

If you wish to use an iPhone with virtually no bezels around the screen, you will need to wait a little longer than initially thought. A new industry report says the release of Apple's long-rumored OLED display with "zero bezels" for the iPhone has slid further into an uncertain timeline.

South Korean outlet The Elec, which was the first to report of the existence of a "zero-bezel" iPhone display, has now reported the launch date is unforeseeable because the technology "is not yet developed enough."
