Being visually distinctive is important, no?
- jolmg 7y agoWell, I assume the front of UFS cards would say "UFS" instead of "MicroSD", and the back would look different because of the pins. Also, having a rectangle of different dimensions would also be visually distinctive, and I think that's always been the standard way to differentiate. That's how one has always been able to differentiate between CompactFlash (CF), Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick PRO Duo, SecureDigital (SD), etc. Why is there now a need to have non-rectangular cards with a weird organic shape on it? EDIT: I see now that the fin is not like an appendage added to the microSD form factor, but rather a subtraction from its shape. The form factor makes a lot more sense after seeing the image shared by kevin_thibedeau.
