FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 18, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexar, a leading global brand of flash memory products, today introduced the Lexar® High-Performance microSDHC™ UHS-I and microSDXC™ UHS-I memory cards for smartphones, tablets, and sports camcorders.

Designed for adventure seekers and adrenaline junkies, these cards enable outdoor enthusiasts to capture up to eight hours of their greatest moments in HD and share it with friends faster.

"Mobile devices are increasingly being used to capture all of life's important moments, and the expectation to capture high-quality video is becoming the norm, so people need a reliable and efficient way to store and manage this content," said Manisha Sharma, director of product marketing, Lexar. "High-capacity, high-speed storage solutions like the Lexar High-Performance microSDHC UHS-I and microSDXC UHS-I cards give people the right mix of capacities and transfer speeds to let them record these events and relive them later, quickly, and easily."

"The design of our new 64GB microSDXC card was made possible by utilising Micron's newest, 64Gbit, 20nm process technology NAND flash memory. Together with creative die-stacking techniques and uniquely engineered firmware in our UHS-I capable controller, Lexar was able to design and produce this product at the 300x performance level to meet the needs of our customers. Our total High-Performance retail solution – which includes an ultra-compact USB 3.0 microSD high-speed reader – achieves an optimal blend of price and performance demanded by our retail customers that focus on video capture and quick file offloading to a PC and the Internet," said Wes Brewer, vice president, products and technology for Lexar.
