SanDisk GamePlay microSD 1TB — 190 MB/s Read, A2 App Performance, Built for Phones and Handhelds
1TB capacity190 MB/s read130 MB/s writeA2 app performance
The SanDisk GamePlay microSD Card is a 1TB UHS-I card aimed at phones, tablets and handheld gaming devices, and SanDisk publishes both of its speeds for this capacity: up to 190 MB/s read and up to 130 MB/s write. Part number SDSQXAV-1T00-GN6XN is the 1TB member of the GamePlay line. What you are buying is a large, fast UHS-I card with the A2 rating that matters when a device runs apps and games directly off the card rather than just storing files on it. It drops into any device with a microSD slot — an Android phone or tablet, a Chromebook, a handheld gaming PC, a dash cam or an action camera — and at 1TB it is the point where a games library stops needing to be managed.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Read this before you order. The card ships on its own: no SD adapter and no card reader are in the box, so a laptop with only a full-size SD slot needs an adapter you buy separately. This is not a Nintendo Switch 2 card. The Switch 2 needs a microSD Express card, which is a different and much faster standard — SanDisk sells that as a separate product, and this UHS-I card will not take its place. SanDisk names no console at all on this card’s own page, so treat any “works with Steam Deck / ROG Ally / Switch” claim you see elsewhere as a retailer’s wording rather than the manufacturer’s. One more check when comparing listings: SanDisk uses the SDSQXAV code across three different families — GamePlay, Extreme and Extreme for Mobile Gaming — and only the ending separates them. The card you want here ends GN6XN. Tell us the exact device you are filling and we will confirm the slot type before you buy.
Best For
✓ Android phones and tablets that are out of space
✓ Handheld gaming PCs with a microSD slot
✓ Chromebooks used for local storage
✓ Carrying a large game library on one card
✓ Devices that run apps straight off the card
✓ Anyone who wants 1TB without changing device
Key Features
190 MB/s read, 130 MB/s write — both published
SanDisk publishes a write figure for this card, which it does not do for most of its USB drives. That matters: read speed decides how fast a game loads, write speed decides how long it takes to copy the game onto the card in the first place. At 130 MB/s a 50 GB title lands in roughly seven minutes on a host that can keep up.
A2 app performance
A1 and A2 are about small random reads and writes, not big file copies. A2 is the rating that keeps an app or a game responsive when it is installed on the card instead of internal storage. If your device supports the A2 command set you get the benefit; on an older host the card still works, just at A1-class random performance.
1TB in a card that weighs 0.26 g
14.99 × 10.92 × 1.02 mm and about a quarter of a gram. It is the largest single-card capacity most phones and handhelds will ever see, and it removes the routine of deleting one game to install another.
A lifetime term from the manufacturer
SanDisk publishes a Lifetime Limited Warranty on this line — unusually long for a consumer memory card, and worth weighing against cheaper cards with a fixed number of years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
GamePlay uses the same 190 / 130 MB/s figures SanDisk publishes for its Extreme microSD line, so the meaningful difference between them is positioning and packaging rather than speed — if you find an Extreme at the same capacity for less, the performance you get is the same. The real fork in the road is UHS-I versus microSD Express: everything on this page is UHS-I, and no UHS-I card, at any price, becomes a Switch 2 storage card. Within UHS-I, capacity is where the money goes, and 1TB is currently the ceiling for a single card in most phones and handhelds. If you are choosing a card for a camera rather than a console, look at our SD card range instead, where the video speed classes are published. And if you plan to move large amounts of data on and off the card regularly, a proper UHS-I reader is worth having — ours are in card readers, because a slow reader will cap this card long before the card itself does.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You need 1TB of storage in a phone, tablet, Chromebook or handheld gaming PC, and you want apps and games to run well from the card rather than just sit on it. The A2 rating and the published 130 MB/s write speed are the two reasons to pick this over a basic card.
Skip it if
You are buying storage for a Nintendo Switch 2 — that console needs a microSD Express card and this is not one. Skip it too if your device only reads full-size SD, since no adapter is included, or if your camera insists on a V30 mark that SanDisk does not publish for this line.
Also consider
A SanDisk microSD Express card if the target is a Switch 2. A full-size SD card if the target is a camera. And a UHS-I card reader if you will be filling 1TB from a laptop — the reader, not the card, is usually what makes that slow.
