The Kingston 256GB Canvas Go! Plus Gen4 is a fast microSDXC memory card designed for compatible action cameras, drones, Android devices, tablets, cameras, handheld gaming devices and card readers that support 256GB microSDXC cards.

The model number is SDCG4/256GB. Your Memox listing also shows UPC 740617347999 and SKU SDKIN-SDCG4256GB.

It is best used for 4K video recording, action cameras, drones, Android phones, tablets, mobile gaming, handheld consoles, cameras, fast media transfer and everyday portable storage in compatible devices.

This card provides 256GB of listed storage capacity. The usable capacity shown by your phone, camera, console or computer will normally be slightly lower because of formatting and how devices calculate storage.

This is normal. Storage manufacturers list capacity in decimal gigabytes, while devices may display capacity differently. Some space is also used by formatting and file system information.

This is a microSDXC card. microSDXC is used for higher-capacity cards such as 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and larger. Your device must support microSDXC and 256GB capacity.

No. A device that only supports microSDHC may not recognise a 256GB microSDXC card. Check your device manual for microSDXC support and maximum card capacity before buying.

UHS-I is the card bus interface. To get the best performance, your phone, camera, drone, card reader or console should support UHS-I. Older readers may still work but at lower speeds.

Class 10 is a speed class rating used for memory cards. It indicates a minimum speed class suitable for many Full HD video and general storage tasks in compatible devices.

U3 means UHS Speed Class 3. It is designed for a minimum sustained write-speed class of 30MB/s in compatible devices, which is useful for 4K video and fast capture workloads.

V30 means Video Speed Class 30. It is designed to support a minimum sustained video write-speed class of 30MB/s, helping compatible cameras record smooth video without dropped frames.

A2 App Performance means the card is rated for stronger random read and write performance than basic cards. This can help with app loading, mobile gaming and small-file access on compatible Android devices.

Yes, A2 is a higher app performance rating than A1. To benefit fully, the host device must support A2 features. In devices that do not support A2 optimisation, performance may be closer to normal microSD card behaviour.

Kingston lists read speed up to 200MB/s. Actual read speed depends on the device, card reader, USB port, file size, operating system and whether the reader supports Kingston’s high-speed performance mode.

Kingston lists write speed up to 160MB/s for the 256GB model. Real-world write speed can vary depending on the camera, drone, phone, reader, file size, temperature and workload.

No. The 200MB/s figure is a maximum speed under suitable conditions. Kingston states that full performance requires a compatible high-speed reader such as the Kingston MobileLite Plus Reader.

Many normal UHS-I readers and device slots are limited to standard UHS-I speeds. To get close to Kingston’s advertised maximum speed, you need a compatible high-speed reader and suitable transfer conditions.

Yes. The Kingston Canvas Go! Plus 256GB is U3 and V30 rated, making it suitable for many 4K UHD recording devices such as action cameras, drones and cameras that support this card type.

Yes. It is more than suitable for many Full HD video recording uses in compatible phones, cameras, action cameras and drones.

256GB is a strong capacity for 4K video, but recording time depends on bitrate, resolution, frame rate, codec and camera settings. High-bitrate 4K or long travel shoots may need multiple cards.

Yes, it may work in GoPro and other action cameras that support 256GB microSDXC UHS-I U3 or V30 cards. Always check the camera model’s approved card list, especially for 4K, 5.3K or high-frame-rate recording.

Yes, it may work in DJI drones that support 256GB microSDXC UHS-I U3 or V30 cards. For high-resolution recording, always check the drone model’s recommended memory card requirements.

It may work in Insta360 cameras that support 256GB microSDXC cards and require UHS-I U3 or V30 performance. Check your exact Insta360 model’s recommended card list before recording important footage.

Yes, if the camera supports microSDXC or SDXC cards. Use the included SD adapter if your camera has a full-size SD card slot instead of a microSD slot.

Yes, it is suitable for many burst photography workflows in compatible cameras. Actual burst performance depends on the camera buffer, file type, image resolution and card interface support.

Yes, if the phone has a microSD slot and supports 256GB microSDXC cards. It is suitable for photos, videos, music, downloads, media files and compatible app storage.

Some Android phones support adoptable storage, while others only allow portable storage. If your phone supports adoptable storage, the A2 rating can help with app and game performance, but you should still keep backups.

Yes, in compatible Android devices, the A2 rating and high read speed make it useful for mobile gaming, game files, app storage and faster media access compared with basic low-speed cards.

Yes, if the tablet supports 256GB microSDXC cards. It can be used for videos, photos, downloads, music, documents, study files and compatible app storage.

Yes. This card can be used with Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite and Nintendo Switch OLED systems that support microSDXC cards. The console may require a system update for microSDXC support.

No. This is a UHS-I microSDXC card, not a microSD Express card. Nintendo Switch 2 requires microSD Express cards for expandable game storage, so this card should not be sold as a Switch 2 game storage card.

Yes, it may work in Steam Deck and other compatible handheld gaming devices that support microSDXC cards. Speeds will depend on the device’s microSD slot and may not reach the full advertised 200MB/s.

It may work in compatible handheld gaming PCs with microSDXC support. Check your device’s card slot specification, firmware updates and thermal behaviour, as real-world speed may be limited by the handheld device.

It may work with Raspberry Pi models that support microSDXC cards, but performance depends on the Raspberry Pi model, operating system and workload. For heavy write workloads, consider using quality storage and regular backups.

It may work in dash cams that support 256GB microSDXC cards, but standard performance-focused cards are not always ideal for continuous loop recording. For regular dash cam use, a Kingston High Endurance card is usually more suitable.

It may work in some compatible security cameras, but 24/7 recording is a heavy write workload. For CCTV, video doorbells and surveillance systems, use a high-endurance or surveillance-rated card where possible.

Dash cams and CCTV cameras constantly overwrite footage. High-endurance cards are designed for continuous recording, while Canvas Go! Plus is better suited to action cameras, drones, Android devices, gaming and general high-speed storage.

Yes. This product includes a microSD to full-size SD adapter, allowing the microSDXC card to be used in compatible SDXC cameras, laptops, card readers and other SD-enabled devices.

No. The SD adapter only changes the physical size so the microSD card can fit full-size SD slots. It does not increase speed, capacity or compatibility with unsupported devices.

The Kingston Canvas Go! Plus 256GB microSDXC card is listed with exFAT format. exFAT is commonly used for high-capacity SDXC cards and supports files larger than 4GB.

For best compatibility, format the card inside the device where it will be used, such as a camera, drone, phone, console or tablet. Formatting erases the card, so back up files first.

For a 256GB microSDXC card, exFAT is normally the correct format. Some older devices may require FAT32, but not all devices support 256GB cards, so always check the device manual first.

If the card has been formatted as FAT32, it cannot store individual files larger than 4GB. Reformatting to exFAT can solve this, but formatting will erase the card.

Common reasons include unsupported 256GB capacity, device not supporting microSDXC, wrong file system, needing in-device formatting, dirty contacts, outdated firmware, a faulty card reader or the card not being inserted fully.

Your PC may support more file systems and card capacities than your camera. The camera may need the card formatted inside the camera, may not support 256GB, or may require a card from its approved compatibility list.

Buy from a trusted seller, check the packaging, test the card capacity and speed with trusted tools, format it in the target device and avoid suspiciously cheap listings that may be counterfeit or falsely labelled.

Yes. Kingston lists the Canvas Go! Plus microSD range as waterproof, temperature-proof and X-ray-proof. It is still important to handle the card carefully and keep important files backed up elsewhere.

This Kingston Canvas Go! Plus 256GB microSDXC card is listed with Kingston lifetime warranty. Warranty support depends on proof of purchase, product condition, correct use and Kingston’s warranty terms.

This card is not ideal for devices that only support microSDHC, devices limited to 32GB or 128GB cards, Nintendo Switch 2 game storage requiring microSD Express, 24/7 dash cam or CCTV users needing high-endurance storage, professional cameras requiring V60 or V90 cards, or buyers expecting 200MB/s speed from a normal low-speed reader. It is best for compatible microSDXC devices needing a fast 256GB UHS-I U3 V30 A2 card for action cameras, drones, Android devices, gaming and 4K-capable recording.
