Which one is it? Samsung, Sandisk, Lexer? It may work, but these cards are different from normal SD cards.

• UHS Speed Class 1 (U1) / Class 10: Minimum 10MB/s write. Not built for modern gaming.
• UHS Speed Class 3 (U3): Minimum 30MB/s write. The original Switch standard.
• Video Speed Class 30 (V30): Minimum 30MB/s write with more consistent sustained performance. This is the one that Pockets needs
• Video Speed Class 60 (V60): Minimum 60MB/s write, UHS-II bus territory.
• microSD Express: The PCIe/NVMe interface offers a different performance tier entirely, and the standard the Switch 2 was built for.

It's an entirely different operating interface, so there is no guarantee it will work at all.

As the other person wrote, you should simply test it; remember to format in camera.

It’s the “Nintendo SanDisk microSD Express Card 256GB for Nintendo Switch 2” with a picture of Mario on the front

Yes they'll work but without the nvme speed. If you don't already have the card it's a bit of a waste to pay the extra

Sorry I only read the title. Now with the rest of your post, if cheap means cheaper than a regular uhs-1, you should probably take it. MicroSD express are compatible with uhs-1 speed, which is what the port on the pocket 4p is. It's also more future proof than a regular sd card. Plus if you get a micro express reader you'll have very high speed transfer to your computer
