SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB is available at Mascom International for KSh 5,700, brand new and sealed, rated for read speeds of up to 190MB/s with U1, V10 and A1 performance ratings. SanDisk builds this UHS-I microSDXC card for Android phones, tablets, dash cams, security cameras and handheld consoles that need a large amount of extra storage. The 190MB/s figure needs a compatible reader such as SanDisk QuickFlow. The SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB waits on the shelf at our Old Mutual Building store, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for estate agents, content creators, logistics coordinators and families sharing one tablet, the SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB suits people who never want to delete anything again. An estate agent in Kilimani photographs every room of every unit. A creator films TikTok and YouTube clips daily. A logistics coordinator in Industrial Area keeps months of delivery photos for proof. With 256GB on a single card, years of files stay in one place inside the phone. Picking which photos to sacrifice before each new shoot becomes a habit of the past.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push unbranded large-capacity cards that fail after a few gigabytes, Mascom International sells sealed SanDisk stock you can check against the model code on the pack. The SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB costs KSh 350 more than the older SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 256GB in our store, and reads quicker. Customers across Nairobi tell us that a card this size finally lets them stop juggling Google Photos storage limits.

Common Questions About the SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card
How much does the SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB cost in Kenya?
The SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB costs KSh 5,700 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. The price covers a 6-month Mascom International warranty, SanDisk's 10-year limited manufacturer warranty, and pay-on-arrival delivery to any county. Compared with the 128GB Ultra GO at KSh 3,300, you pay KSh 2,400 more for double the capacity. Per gigabyte, that works out to about KSh 22, close to the KSh 26 per gigabyte of the 128GB card.
SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB or SanDisk Extreme PRO microSD Card 256GB, which should I choose?
Choose the SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB for phones, tablets and 1080p cameras, and the SanDisk Extreme PRO microSD Card 256GB for professional 4K video work. At Mascom International the Ultra GO costs KSh 5,700 and the Extreme PRO costs KSh 9,500, a gap of KSh 3,800. The Extreme PRO carries higher video and speed ratings for drones and action cameras. If you only want the lowest price on 256GB, the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 256GB costs KSh 5,350 but reads slower, up to 100MB/s.
Can the SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB help me save on Safaricom and Airtel data bundles?
Yes, the SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB lets you download films, music and lessons once on Wi-Fi and watch them offline later. Many buyers fill the card at home or at the office, then travel to Eldoret or Kisumu without burning Safaricom or Airtel Kenya bundles on streaming. Apps such as Netflix, Showmax, Spotify and YouTube Premium allow offline downloads to a memory card on many Android phones. Check each app's storage setting and choose the SD card as the download location.
Does my phone support a 256GB microSD card like the SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card?
Most Android phones released in the last few years accept 256GB cards, including many Tecno, Infinix, Itel and Samsung Galaxy A models. The SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB uses the microSDXC standard, which phones with a modern card slot read. Some older or entry-level handsets stop at 128GB or lower, and the phone's specification sheet will state its limit. Send your exact phone model to Mascom International on WhatsApp, and we will confirm compatibility before you pay.
How many photos and hours of video fit on the SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB?
The SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB stores about 85,000 photos from a 12MP camera at roughly 3MB each. Video fills it more slowly than most buyers expect: about 32 hours of 1080p at 130MB a minute, or around 12 hours of 4K at 30fps. Formatted space shows a little below 256GB, as with every memory card. For a security camera recording Full HD around the clock, the card holds well over a day of footage before looping.
How should I back up a SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB full of important files?
Copy the SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB to a laptop or external drive every month, because any single storage device can fail or be lost. A large card holds more of your life, so losing it hurts more. Use a card reader to copy the folders, or connect the phone by USB cable. For KRA documents, eCitizen records and business receipts, keep a cloud copy too. Mascom International stocks external drives and card readers if you need a second home for your files.
Can I use the SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB in a child's tablet for offline learning?
Yes, the SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB is a sensible way to load a child's Android tablet with offline lessons, e-books and educational videos. Parents fill it with downloaded CBC revision content, storybooks and cartoons, then hand the tablet over with no internet needed. The A1 rating lets learning apps stored on the card open without long waits. Set parental controls on the tablet itself, since the card simply stores the content. Amazon Fire and Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablets both take microSD cards.
Who should buy the SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB, and who should skip it?
Buy the SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB if you film often, keep years of photos on your phone, or run a security camera that records all day. It suits creators, estate agents, drivers and busy parents. Skip it if your phone only supports cards up to 128GB, or if you rarely fill even half of a smaller card; the 128GB Ultra GO at KSh 3,300 serves you better. For long 4K recording, the SanDisk Extreme PRO microSD Card 256GB is the stronger choice.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Capacity
- 256GB capacity — about 85,000 photos from a 12MP phone camera at roughly 3MB per picture.
- Around 32 hours of 1080p video at about 130MB a minute, or roughly 12 hours of 4K 30fps recording.
- Formatted space appears slightly below 256GB, because the file system uses a small part of the card.
- Suited to offline films, music libraries, e-books, CCTV recordings and work archives that would otherwise fill a phone.
- microSDXC format — the high-capacity standard that modern Android phones, tablets and cameras read.
- Retains files with no power at all, so a flat battery or a KPLC outage does not erase stored data.
Read Speed and Performance Ratings
- Read speed up to 190MB/s — reached only with a compatible reader such as SanDisk QuickFlow, as SanDisk states.
- Standard UHS-I readers and phone slots read the card at their own usual rate, which falls below 190MB/s.
- Saving files runs slower than reading them back, a pattern shared by every microSD card on the market.
- U1 and V10 ratings — a minimum steady write of 10MB/s, enough for continuous Full HD recording.
- A1 rating — App Performance Class 1, a minimum standard for opening and running apps stored on the card.
- Copying a big folder to a laptop through a QuickFlow reader takes far less waiting than through a basic reader.
Device Compatibility
- Fits Android phones, tablets, dash cams, home security cameras, handheld consoles and e-readers with microSDXC support.
- UHS-I bus — the interface used by most phone, tablet and camera slots, so the card runs at its rated class.
- Some older or entry-level devices top out at 128GB or less; check your device's specification before buying.
- Laptops and cameras with a full-size SD slot need an adapter, sold separately and not packed with the card.
- No iPhone or iPad has a card slot, so Apple owners should look at USB-C flash drives instead.
- Readable on Windows, macOS and Chromebook computers through a card reader for backups and file transfers.
Build and Card Format
- Standard microSD dimensions of 15mm by 11mm by 1mm, the same tiny size as smaller-capacity cards.
- Flash memory with no moving parts, so knocks from a dropped phone do not damage the card itself.
- Metal contacts on the underside connect to the slot; keep them dry, especially in humid Mombasa air.
- On hybrid-tray phones the card takes the second SIM's place, so decide between dual SIM and card storage.
- Most Android devices recognise the card on insertion and offer to format it if needed.
- Sealed SanDisk retail packaging carries model code SDSQUGN-256G-GN6MN for checking against SanDisk's own listing.
Inclusions and Manufacturer Support
- One SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 256GB, sealed in its SanDisk retail pack.
- No SD adapter or QuickFlow reader inside; Mascom International sells both separately.
- Printed SanDisk leaflet with use guidance and the manufacturer's warranty terms.
- SanDisk 10-year limited manufacturer warranty, claimed through SanDisk under its own conditions.
- Mascom International 6-month warranty, set out in the Warranty section below.
- Free in-store check at Kimathi Street, where we confirm the full capacity shows in your device.
