256GB NM not available in my country. Also, it will be pretty expensive when it will appear, I'm sure. This is offensive to clients. They should have made them cheap and available if they want to change the standard, you can't change the standards with no availability and greed.

Now that you mention it, I am against it. I just hope the SD Association would make NM a standard and rename it as NanoSD card. Let us not let individual companies like Huawei and Sony make their own expensive storage card where we have MicroSD readily available.

The main convenience for using them is data transfer, not storage. They are more convenient and practial for big media transfer between devices than having to use laptop or cloud storage.

This entire situation is a cash grab and will fail pretty miserably. Same thing happened with Sony wanting to exclusively license and use Memory Stick Pro Duo cards in their portable game consoles. The memory was expensive, not particularly fast, used in almost nothing else and not widely available.
Non standard memory card that is no better than the standard... I don't see the cake in here...
It's not about the speed, it's the form factor. I'm glad NM cards are slowly starting to be one of the standards because it's smaller than a MicroSD and the form factor is exactly like SIM cards.
Damn expensive $150 for 256GB! Not useful beyond select few Huawei mobiles. Pointless. Bring Mate 20 Pro buyer I don't like this situation. Right now this is not available in my region
Anonymous, 21 Jan 2019You guys (comment section) have to look at it this way: we have phone companies SUPER adamant ... moreThe bigger problem microSD slots cause is the terrible performance compared to super fast UFS 2.1 memory. Nobody cares about the space savings. Apple, Google, OnePlus are going after FLAGSHIP performance. This kind of performance can only be obtained through UFS 2.1 and greated (this year UFS 3.0 debuts).
QCOM, 21 Jan 2019So what's the point if the speed is the same as micro SD card? Stupid move from Huawei. Its no different to ASUS changing MXM slot interfaces on gaming laptops to make them proprietary. This is a cheap and shameless way to use an existing standard to make a contrived milking for the privilege. The hilarious part is all they need to do is rearrange pins and change the shape of the whole card and voila! new lock-in invented just like that and the sheep will pay anyway because "storage expansion slot" only way to teach these conniving corporates a lesson is by voting with your wallets.

I'm sure they will make more money from that than what they will pay out in royalties to Huawei.

really don't see the point of having this new standard of memory cards.
Micro SD has proven to be more than capable and should be treated like USB and standardised throughout all mobile devices
if all that thing going on with allegedly Huawei spying then this card is probably design just to do that!
why in the fkn world would you come up with a new storage type when it does not even provides better performance?
its like when theyfirst introduced usb-c
..."mate, can I borrow your charger...no sorry, I only got micro usb"
this is a scam i think.
peace

xXENDER FREAKXx, 21 Jan 2019It's great to see HUAWEI pushing a new memory card standard, but isn't it a little too early? ... moreThey basically just change the position of the pin . It's still micro sd

Hybrid sim slot is bad enough.
