The Kingston Canvas Select Plus 512GB microSD Gen3 V30 U3 is a high-capacity microSD card suited to Android users and photographers who need reliable storage for apps, photos, and video.

Why this product
Up to 150 MB/s read speed
Class 10 UHS-I speeds reach 150 MB/s read, keeping file transfers and app launches quick on compatible devices.
A1-rated for Android app performance
The A1 rating guarantees a minimum level of random read and write performance, so apps installed on the card open faster and multitask more smoothly.
V30 video class for recording
Video Class 30 (V30) and U3 ratings ensure a sustained minimum write speed suitable for capturing higher-resolution video.
Wide operating temperature range
Rated to operate between -25°C and 85°C and store between -40°C and 85°C, making it usable in demanding environments.
Lifetime warranty included
Kingston backs this card with a lifetime limited warranty, covering the full period of ownership.

Best for
- Android users who store apps on an external card and need A1-rated random performance for smooth load times.

- Photographers who need large-capacity, fast-read storage for burst shooting and file offload.
- Long-term owners who value a lifetime warranty covering the full ownership period.
Trade-offs
- Professional video requiring V60 or V90 — this card is rated to V30, which may not meet the sustained write demands of some high-bitrate professional formats.
- UHS-II speed-dependent workflows — the UHS-I interface caps transfer speeds below what UHS-II cards can deliver, even in UHS-II readers.
- Devices without microSD or SD slots — it cannot be used in devices that do not accept microSD or (via adapter) full-size SD cards.
