NM card

Nano Memory (NM) is a proprietary memory card format developed by Huawei in 2018. [1]

NM cards are the same size as a nano SIM card, so they can be used in the same slots as nano SIMs. [2] They are smaller than micro SD cards, freeing up space and reducing weight in smartphone designs. [3]

NM cards utilise the eMMC 4.5 protocol [4] and operate with read speeds of 90 MB/second. [2]

As of 2021, the cards were only supported by Huawei phones, however they are also manufactured by Lexar. Available sizes are 64 GB, 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB. [5] They are more expensive than SD cards. [6] [7]
