High-quality video on Android is a storage hog, but the world’s slimmest portable SSD could help

Lexar has unveiled the Muse Ultraslim Portable SSD, touting it as the market's thinnest portable SSD. This gadget comes with 512GB or 1TB of storage and a magnetic carry sleeve, enabling it to be attached via MagSafe or a magnet case. Unfortunately, the pricing details remain undisclosed.

In the current digital age, smartphones have become remarkably proficient at capturing high-quality video. Apple pioneered this trend with ProRes video on its iPhones, but Android devices have also made impressive progress, especially with LOG and APV video capture capabilities.

Enter Lexar's Muse Ultraslim Portable SSD, which could be an ideal solution for individuals frequently filming extensive high-quality videos on their phones. The device is marketed as the world's thinnest portable SSD, boasting thicknesses ranging from a mere 1mm to 3.8mm. Lexar assures that the product includes a magnetic carry sleeve, allowing it to be conveniently attached to an iPhone using MagSafe functionality.

This attachment method should also harmonize well with magnet cases on Android phones or magnet-equipped phones like the Pixel 11 series.
