In February 2014, SanDisk announced a new microSD card, the MicroSDXC.

In January 2010, a 16 GB micro SD card class 2 cost about $40 (USD), and a 4 GB class 2 micro SD card about $8 (USD). At the time of April 2009, the same 4 GB card could be bought for as low as $12 (USD) at department stores, and by May 2009, for as low as $6 (USD) at online electronics stores. Since then, the prices for flash memory devices have become much lower. SanDisk made a 4 GB microSD card in July 2006, at first costing $99 ( USD). When they were first sold, the microSD format was sold in sizes of 32, 64, and 128 MB. The SDA announced the microSD format at CTIA Wireless 2005 on March 14, 2005, and the final microSD details were announced on July 13, 2005. Other flash card formats approved by the SDA include miniSD and standard SD card. It was first called T-Flash, and then TransFlash, before being named microSD when it started to be used by the SD Card Association (SDA).

The microSD format was made by the company SanDisk. Larger ones are microSDXC memory cards, sold in sizes between 8 GB and 1 TB. microSD cards are sold in many sizes, from 64 MB to 32 GB, while microSDHC cards are sold in sizes between 4 GB to 64 GB. TransFlash cards are sold in 16MB and 32MB sizes. Some older devices cannot use the newer format, although third party firmware is available for some devices. MicroSDHC format is a newer version of the MicroSD which is not backwards compatible. This lets microSD slots support non-memory jobs like Bluetooth, GPS, and Near Field Communication by attaching a device in place of a memory card. TransFlash and microSD cards are the same (they can be used in place of each other), but microSD has support for SDIO mode. Many microSD cards are sold with a standard SD adapter, so that people can use them in devices that take standard SD but not microSD cards. But, not all of the different cards can work together. There are adapters that make the small microSD able to fit in devices that have slots for standard SD, miniSD, Memory Stick Duo card, and even USB. It is the smallest memory card that can be bought at 15 mm × 11 mm × 1 mm (about the size of a fingernail), it is about a quarter of the size of a normal-sized SD card. The cards are used in mobile phones, cameras, handheld game systems, and other mobile devices. SD is an abbreviation of Secure Digital, and microSD cards are sometimes referred to as µSD, uSD, or mSD. MicroSD is a type of removable flash memory card used for storing information.
