A no-frills extra for dashboard recorders, feature-phone users and Bluetooth speakers short of free gigabytes.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB, model SDSQUNS-016G-GN3MN, is available at Mascom International for KSh 2,220, brand new and sealed and in stock today. This microSDHC card reads data at up to 80MB/s and carries Class 10 and UHS-I ratings, so it records Full HD video and moves files without stalling. You can collect the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card from our store in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery. Sixteen gigabytes holds roughly 5,000 phone photos or close to two hours of 1080p video, enough for a simple device that needs more room.
Designed for budget-conscious buyers, the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB handles the light jobs that do not call for a large card. Boda boda riders fit it into basic handsets for music and voice notes, matatu owners use it in entry dashcams, and parents slot it into children's learning tablets. The usual problem is a device that keeps warning about full storage. Moving photos, songs and WhatsApp media onto the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card frees internal space within minutes. SanDisk rates the card to work from -25°C to 85°C, so a dashboard parked in the Mombasa sun stays within its rated range.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell unbranded cards printed with inflated capacities, Mascom International stocks only genuine SanDisk cards in sealed retail packs. Buyers throughout Kenya report that fake cards look fine at first, then corrupt files once they fill past their real size. The SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB gives you honest storage at the stated capacity. If your device reads larger cards, the 32GB 100MB/s version costs only KSh 70 more, and our staff will tell you which one suits your device. Visit the Kimathi Street shop, or order on WhatsApp for delivery to any county.
Common Questions About the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card
How much is the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB in Kenya?
The SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB costs KSh 2,220 at Mascom International in Nairobi, brand new and sealed. That price includes our 6-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery, so you pay only once the card is in your hands. This pack is the card alone, without an SD adapter. For comparison, the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 32GB 100MB/s sells for KSh 2,290, just KSh 70 more for double the space, a faster read rating and an adapter in the box.
Is the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB rated A1 for running apps?
No, the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB, model SDSQUNS-016G-GN3MN, does not carry the A1 App Performance rating. A1 is an SD Association standard confirming a card can open and run apps quickly when they are installed on it. This older Ultra line was rated for photos, music and video rather than apps. If you plan to move Android apps onto a card, choose an A1 card such as the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 32GB 100MB/s, which Mascom International stocks in the same family.
Is the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB microSDHC or microSDXC, and why does it matter?
The SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB is a microSDHC card, the format used for capacities above 2GB and up to 32GB. That matters because older handsets, dashcams and cameras often accept microSDHC but not microSDXC, the format for 64GB and larger cards. A microSDHC card works in both older and newer devices, so this card is a safe pick when you are unsure what your device reads. Check the device manual, or send the model name to Mascom International on WhatsApp and we will confirm it for you.
How does the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB compare with the 32GB 100MB/s version?
The 32GB 100MB/s version beats the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB on nearly every point for only KSh 70 more. It holds twice as much, reads at up to 100MB/s against 80MB/s, carries the A1 app rating and includes an SD adapter. Both are microSDHC cards, so they fit exactly the same devices. Choose the 16GB card only when you want the lowest spend for a device that will never fill it, such as a basic handset used for music. Most other buyers should take the 32GB.
Will the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB cope with heat inside a car or matatu in Kenya?
The SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB is rated to operate from -25°C to 85°C, which covers a parked car on a hot afternoon in Mombasa, Garissa or Kisumu. Dust is less of a worry because the card sits inside the device slot. The bigger issue for dashcams is constant overwriting, since loop recording writes to the card all day. Ultra cards handle occasional recording well, but a matatu dashcam running every route from morning to night is better served by a high-endurance card made for nonstop writing.
How many photos and videos fit on the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB?
The SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB holds roughly 5,000 photos taken at 12MP, using about 3MB per photo. In Full HD 1080p, it stores close to two hours of video. Documents, PDFs and voice recordings take far less room, so a student keeping lecture notes and audio from Kenyatta University can fill a whole semester without running short. The usable space your device shows will be slightly under 16GB, because formatting reserves part of the card, as it does on every memory card.
Who should buy the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB and who should skip it?
The SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB suits buyers with a basic device and light needs: a handset used for music, a children's tablet with a few learning videos, or an old camera that only reads small cards. Skip it if you take many photos, record long videos or want to move apps onto the card. Those buyers are better served by the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 64GB at KSh 2,850 or the 128GB at KSh 3,000. CCTV systems recording around the clock need a high-endurance card instead.
How do I set up the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB on an Android phone?
Insert the SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB with the phone switched off, then open Settings and go to Storage to confirm the phone sees it. Most Android phones let you set the camera to save straight to the card, and a file manager moves existing photos and WhatsApp media across. Because this card lacks the A1 rating, use it as portable storage for files rather than for installed apps. SanDisk's free Memory Zone app on Google Play helps you view and back up files on the card.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Capacity
- 16GB microSDHC capacity — about 5,000 photos at 12MP or close to two hours of Full HD video.
- Usable space after formatting sits slightly below 16GB, which is normal for every memory card on the market.
- Stores photos, videos, music, documents and offline downloads, freeing the internal memory your device needs to run smoothly.
- Model SDSQUNS-016G-GN3MN — quote this code when you want to confirm you are buying this exact card version.
- Files stay on the card after removal, so they move between devices with no internet, cables or data bundles.
Speed Ratings and Performance
- Up to 80MB/s read speed — copying files off the card to a computer goes quickly when you use a fast reader.
- Real speeds depend on the host device; many phones and budget card readers run below the rated read figure.
- Class 10 rating — the SD standard for steady writing, suitable for recording Full HD video without dropped frames.
- UHS-I bus interface — the common high-speed connection used by most phones, cameras, dashcams and card readers today.
- No A1 App Performance rating — best kept for media files and documents rather than apps installed on the card.
Compatibility
- Works in any device with a microSDHC or microSDXC slot, including phones, tablets, dashcams, action cameras and speakers.
- microSDHC format suits older devices that cannot read the larger microSDXC cards of 64GB and above.
- Ships formatted as FAT32, a file system read by Windows, macOS, Android and most media players without extra software.
- Needs a separate SD adapter or USB card reader to plug into a laptop's full-size SD slot or USB port.
- Works with SanDisk Memory Zone, a free Android app on Google Play for viewing, managing and backing up files.
Build and Durability
- Rated to operate from -25°C to 85°C — handles hot car interiors and chilly rooms without losing stored files.
- Standard microSD size of about 15mm by 11mm by 1mm, smaller than a fingernail, so keep it in a case.
- Solid-state flash memory with no moving parts, unlike a spinning hard drive that can fail after a hard knock.
- Grey and red Ultra label with the capacity printed on the face, so you can identify the card at a glance.
- Handle the card by its edges and keep the gold contacts clean and dry for reliable reading over the years.
Inclusions
- One SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB inside a sealed SanDisk retail blister pack, ready to insert and use.
- This model is the card-only version, so no SD adapter comes inside the pack with the card.
- Sealed packaging lets you confirm the card has not been opened, swapped or used by anyone before your purchase.
- Mascom International's 6-month warranty covers manufacturing defects from the day you buy, with claims handled in Nairobi CBD.
- SD adapters and USB card readers are sold separately at Mascom International for laptop and camera use.
Everyday Uses
- Basic handsets — extra room for music, voice recordings and received photos without deleting old messages first.
- Children's learning tablets — space for downloaded lessons and short educational videos to watch offline at home.
- Entry dashcams — the Class 10 rating supports Full HD recording for occasional driving and trip records.
- Portable speakers and car stereos with microSD slots — play stored music without pairing a phone each time.
- Older digital cameras — about 5,000 standard photos before you need to copy files off to a computer.
Package Contents
The SanDisk Ultra microSD Card 16GB comes in a sealed SanDisk retail pack containing the card itself. Model SDSQUNS-016G-GN3MN is the card-only version, so there is no SD adapter in the box. If you need to read the card in a laptop's SD slot or a camera that takes full-size cards, Mascom International sells adapters and USB card readers separately. You can inspect the seal yourself at the counter before you pay.

If the card is not recognised or develops a fault within that period, bring it with your receipt to our service desk in the Old Mutual Building, Nairobi CBD, and our team will handle the claim.
