As far as I know, there aren't any phones currently available or on the horizon that have dedicated PCIe lanes for external storage, which is what makes MicroSD Express ao much faster, so, while the cards are backwards compatible, the backwards compatibility mode is significantly slower than the fastest regular MicroSD cards.

MicroSD Express is a new storage standard, and, unless your camera has the hardware to support it (and there aren't any on the market that do), the card can only run in backwards-compatibility mode, which is UHS-I speed, or ~1/3 as fast as UHS-II MicroSD cards.
There is pretty much only one reason to buy a MicroSD Express card right now is for a Nintendo Switch, because almost nothing else uses them.
