Lexar? They used to be top-tier manufacturer, but I believe they were sold to a non-name Chinese brand and are now about as good as any Aliexpress crap?

Several years ago, "Lexar" the brand name, got sold off to Longsys, a Chinese company. It is no longer the same as Micron.

Before the brand name Lexar got sold off, Lexar was a Micron subsidiary. That's where Lexar got its good rep from, because Micron is a reliable, premiere memory manufacturer, as in, they make their own stuff and don't have to source memory chips from anyone else. If reliability is important to you, buy from Micron, Solidigm (Hynix-Intel), Samsung, SanDisk-WD, Kioxia (Toshiba) if at all possible, to ensure you get A-grade memory.

If you buy from anyone else, you don't know where they sourced their memory from. This "Longsys" Chinese company may well just shove whatever is cheapest to buy each week, into their cards, including buying from less-reliable memory makers (smaller Chinese manufacturers).

Basically the big players like SanDisk feed themselves first, and any surplus or B-grade memory (bad batches that got more defects and can't be trusted to run at proper speeds, etc.) get sold to smaller players.

Some non-manufacturers like Kingston do enough of its own testing, and have long-term contracts so as to avoid the "memory roulette" issue where the label is the same month to month, but the memory might not be. So I'd regard Kingston as almost as good as buying direct. Still, it's better to buy from the actual manufacturers directly, to avoid guessing games as much as possible.

For what it's worth I've had this same card in my steam deck since launch. It's been great in there with zero issues.

Would this card be appropriate for 4K recording in drones (Avata 2, Mini 4 Pro)?

You'd better check your device specs and see if 1tb memory card is supported. Some devices only support up to 512Gb

Just recently Newegg had Team 1TB Pro+ microSDHC UHS-I/U3 Class 10 for $53.
Not that great of a sale.

Imma have to note the micro center ones test well but things lag in 5 minutes after years of heavy use (I guess maybe I should've stress tested for an hour) . My team group has all but died. An it makes my phone mess up cause it doesn't notify me the storage is faulty ; it just doesn't do anything . I had others die as well. My Samsung cards didn't ever die. So if worried about quality an storing important data; I wouldn't play around
