They are both exactly the same, Select is just a rebrand of Amazon. Don’t buy Select unless it is cheaper. And yes they work fine, have the Evo Plus 512.
I was at the same spot once and wondered where the difference actually is, as there is a rather big price difference sometimes. When I searched, I found rather quickly that this is indeed just rebranded, and it was even confirmed by a Samsung support person.
Amazon is the only seller of the Select cards. For the Plus, anyone can be a seller, so there could be fakes being sold as well. If the Plus is being sold directly by Amazon, then yes, it should be a legit card and there should be no difference.

Really?! That’s why the specs looked identical. Great info, thank you👌
(This social is getting better than Red💩 to find useful info 😆)

Why shouldn’t they buy the select? Isn’t the whole purpose of it being exclusive to prevent people from getting fake cards?
samsung has a tool that can verify the legitimacy of cards. if it’s counterfeit send it back
If Amazon is unable to make sure you got no fake Plus if they are the seller, how in the world would they make sure the Select is no fake?

It’s a bummer that the situation is essentially a tax that guarantees not being hassled by counterfeit goods.
“Well, I have two options. Here, this one here that’s white. And here’s another one that’s not white.”
“What’s the difference?”
“Well, this one I guarantee is what it appears to be.”
“And the other one?”
“Well, that one is probally what it appears to be. But how can I know? I’m just the one selling it to you.”
“That seems fucked up.”
“Please understand that we take counterfeit goods very seriously.”
“Right….”
Would that apply for “sold and shipped by amazon” items?
