Lexar NM Card supports eMMC 5.1 protocol which offers reading and writing speeds of 90MB/s and 85MB/s, respectively. The storage isn’t that fast enough that it can compete with the internal storage of smartphones, but can record 4K videos and store other stuff doesn’t eh board?

There will be 128 GB and 256 GB NM cards too, but only the 512GB Lexar card is tested and verified by Huawei Laboratory and Lexar Quality Laboratory.
