Still brexit related if you consider all flash memory chips are produced and imported by East Asian companies like Samsung and Toshiba? Also the fact that products containing flash chips have been on the rise in pricing well before brexit, and are at an all time high globally?
Sure, brexit might have a slight impact on these higher prices, but that would be similar to how the price of coke has also gone up - by hardly anything!
Different cards this one is U3 and your one is U1.

wow, the 128GB U3 Toshiba has increased so much.
That is a surprise to me.
I have heard that all memory has increased in price since last year. Not only because falling £, but also the general market conditions, supply and demands.

Sorry put it has to be partly brexit related that's how currency exchange and value works. Since the UK voted to leave the EU the pound and our country's net worth and mine and your net worth has gone down. That's just a fact we are poorer in the world than we where. If sell my house and want to use that money on anything overseas I will get less than before. Brexit is resulting in higher prices if electronics as they are priced normally in $.

its actually not brexit related, it's because of the shortage in flash memory..... SSDs, RAM, SD cards - pricing is all up in the air atm

Why are the same memory cards so much more expensive than they were a year or two ago?

Brexit effect on the pound and unscrupulous traders taking advantage/jumping on the Brexit bandwagon

Decent price, I wonder if they also provide an adapter to use as full SD card

I bought a bunch of these when they were £25 last year, I can confirm that this does come with the adapter.

Opening post
I've looked at loads of SD cards for Samsung S8, this seems to me a great price for a high spec, high capacity card.
As you probably know SD card buying is a bit of a minefield, this has almost 1000 reviews on Amazon and rates at 4.5, which is a reasonable indicator.
The usual cautions regarding fake cards etc, though this is from Amazon themselves so you have some protection there.
Available from July 1st.
Mmmmm..... data....
