FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 18, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexar, a leading
global brand of flash memory products, today introduced the Lexar(R)
High-Performance microSDHC(TM) UHS-I and microSDXC(TM) UHS-I memory
cards for smartphones, tablets, and sports camcorders. The UHS-I cards
carry a Class 10 speed classification, and deliver read transfer speeds
up to 300x (45MB per second),* allowing users to quickly capture,
store, play back, and transfer their favorite media files, including
1080p full-HD and 3D video.

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. Users can also
store up to 24,800 photos or 14,200 songs,** and when paired with the
included USB 3.0 reader, get fast transfer rates from their memory card
to their PC or Mac(R) computer.

"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
utilizing 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.

Lexar works with major mobile device manufacturers to ensure cards are
compatible with their solutions. Furthermore, Lexar memory card designs
undergo extensive testing in the Lexar Quality Labs to ensure
performance, quality, compatibility, and reliability with more than 800
digital devices. The 32GB High-Performance microSDHC UHS-I and 64GB
High-Performance microSDXC UHS-I memory cards come with a limited
lifetime warranty, and the included USB 3.0 reader comes with a
one-year limited warranty.

Lexar High-Performance microSDHC UHS-I and microSDXC UHS-I memory cards
will be available for purchase in November with MSRPs of $69.99 (32GB)
and $139.99 (64GB) from Lexar.com and leading e-tail outlets worldwide.
