Hi.
From next week I will be proud owner of Xperia Z phone. Please, do recommend fast memory card. I used class 10 Samsung on Desire.
Now, I see that Samsung have Class 6 Plus, which are supposedly very fast.
In Croatia, there is nowhere to find SanDisk cards, so I will stick with Samsung.
So, my question is - which card to buy:
This - 16GB MicroSDHC Pro Class 10
or this - 32GB MicroSDHC Plus Class 6
Price is nearly the same (16GB is 3USD cheaper).

Both are ok.
only that the 32Gb must be formated in the device.will not be able to read it if you already have data on.(on non-rooted firmware as in my case)
Class 10

depending on the amount of data you have, if its not more than 10 GB i would definitely recommend Class 10. I have sandisk class 10 16GB in my XZ and i tried a 32GB class 6 the difference is very visible. if you can afford go for the 32GB class 10.
Also dont forget that you would need to format the card inside the phone for optimal performance
On Desire I used 8GB class 10, and had 6GB available couse 1,6GB was EXT4 partition. Of those 6GB on Fat32, I used 60-70% max with pics, music and recorded videos. So, better to buy smaller but faster, than larger but slower ?
It's up to you really, it depends on how much space you need. You are not going to be using the SD to hold any system files with the Z so it's okay that it's not lightning fast, I would go with the 32gb, unless you think that you'll never use that much
if i were you, i'd go for 64gb card.

I have a moto g 2nd gen and I want to buy it a 64gb micro SD (formatting it to fat32 for it to work). I have 4 options, a Toshiba, a Kingston, an adata, and a samsung evo. Do you have one of these? Which one do you recommend?
Important is that it is a class 10 card,just because of the faster read/writespeed. I tested several class 10 cards (Samsung,Kingston,Hama,SanDisk) with Crystal DiscMark and the differerences were mostly marginal. I bought myself a Samsung because I could get it as a special offer. In official testings this card is mentioned to be one of the best.
The Samsung SDXC PRO 64GB is a little expensive but fast and therefore a good deal,also the SanDisk SDXC Card Extreme Plus 64GB. But in my opinion a Samsung Evo 64GB is doing a great job too and is a good choice.

Be very careful of the cheap eBay fakes SD cards..... buy Local and help your Local retailer(s) - o.k it may be 2x as expensive, but shop around and you can find deals
Hello guyz,
Can you please recommend me the best microSD card for our phone in 128GB or 256GB?
I am leaning towards Samsung Pro Plus 128GB or EVO Plus 256GB. Should I go for speed or size?
Also there is Sandisk Extreme with similar speeds and Lexar Professional with read speeds @ 150mb/s, but I'm note sure if these speeds are overkill for a Note8..
I would also like to know cause eBay has so many fake ones.
I honestly have had issues with every sdhc I've used except for the EVO's. I don't know about other Samsung classes but I personally would stick with genuine Samsung memory cards.

I've been using the 256GB EVO that Samsung was giving out for the Note7 promo. Been working great.
I lost my $32 for useless SD card
I wouldn't worry too much about speed, as you can install apps on the SD card (correct me if I'm wrong). I would go for size over speed.
Never had issues with the Samsung or Sandisk memory cards for mobile devices, I have used everything from 2gb cards to 256gb cards and I will be looking at the 400gb card as soon as Sandisk gets it to retailers.
Samsung EVO Plus Grade 3, Class 10 128GB MicroSDXC thats one i have in my Note8 and as i don't shot lot of 4k videos that speed is enough
400gb for the win chuck
sandisk 400gb. Note8 ready. get it ONLY from "ships and sold by amazon". never 3rd party.

Fastest is probably:
Lexar Professional 1000x microSDXC (up to 256GB)
Biggest size is probably:
SanDisk Ultra 400GB microSDXC UHS-I
Best price/size/performance? Probably Samsung Evo+ line of cards, based on the following (it's a guess, I have not benchmarked them myself):
https://www.pidramble.com/wiki/benchmarks/microsd-cards
Do not rely on only the manufacturers' ratings, they can be way off and sometimes read is fast, but write is slow (or vice versa). The most expensive is not always the fastest either. Further, some excel in big sequantial reads, others are a tad better in random read/write IOPS. Even further, Note8 card interface probably is NOT able to use the maximum speed out of the latest UHS-II cards.
And yes, do NOT buy on eBay, unless you are willing to gamble or really know what you are doing.
My experience with SanDisk
Hi,
I just bough an Sandisk microSdhc Extreme 128 GB, Class 10, U3 UHS-2.
I emailed Samsung about my Note 8 and they told me that it supports UHS-2 cards.
When running tests on phone I get MAX 60write 60read
Only on DiskSeed Test App I got 287 MB/S read and 37 MB/S write.
Any input?
I've had my 64gb SD card in my s5 before putting it in my note 8. I might be lucky, but I figured Samsung cards work best in Samsung devices, idk. But yeah, it's been about 3 years and the SD card is going strong.
Andddddd...itll probably break after this post.
Galaxy Note 8 has many options for microSD Card for it. Here I found much different Note 8 Memory Card.
Never had an issue with any Sandisk microSDCard. I have had a bunch of them and they all work fine.
I'm another using the Samsung 256 EVO that came with the Note 7 promo. It also worked fine in an S7Edge for a while before I got the Note 8.

Anyone know where to get this one at a better deal? When it comes to device storage I'm not as much concerned with speed as I am with size and having 400GB at your fingertips, on the go, is just pretty freakin' awesome.
Btw...for those looking for more speed, I happened to catch this video on YouTube the other day that explains what the different speed markings on the sd cards actually mean if anyone's interested. I found it to be fairly informative.
Have got a couple of HD8 2017 tablets and installed a couple of Samsung Evo Plus 64GB MicroSD Cards. Been having some difficulty with these cards in at least one of the tablets so awaiting delivery of 2 x SanDisk Ultra 64GB cards to see if I get on any better results. My question is which card is better for tablet use?
Samsung Evo Plus, 64GB, Class 10, U3
Sandisk Ultra. 64GB, Clas 10, U1 - A1 App Performance
On first look I assumed the Samsung as it was U3 rated compared to the SanDisk U1 rating, however the SanDisk card has the new A1 App performance rating. Does the A1 rating therefore trump the Samsung U3 rating or is this really marketing over reality.. Also, in real world use is the difference between U3 and U1 negligible when using the card for tablet use?
Thanks in advance

Don't confuse raw speed on large files with stability, ability to efficiently handle multiple small IO operations and suitability to the task at hand. Not to mention device characteristics and capabilities of the external storage interface. Fire 7s have a mediocre SD card interface; suspect the same holds for all 5th-7th gen models which are budget friendly.
Personally I have not had good luck with Samsung EVO branded cards. I use a variety of other cards, including SanDisk, which generally live up to their stated capabilities. For whatever reason the EVOs fall short. Reviews on Amazon and elsewhere suggest I'm not alone in this observation.

Interesting. In both my Fire HD8's, using the Samsung Evo Plus cards, I've had multiple "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed" warnings which is a pain in itself but also causes freezes and sometime complete lock outs. Just taken delivery of the SanDisk Ultra 64GB U1 A1 cards and popped them in and, so far, seem more stable. Still early days but let's to see if these work better than the Samsung Evo Plus cards.

hi brother, i have same thought to buy either this 2 card as its same price.
Hows your review so far? normally i use sandisk, i nvr try samsung before..
I'm planning on to buy a 64GB SDcard, I'm currently in India. I need the best read/write support. I have a 250 mbps WiFi connection. I just don't want my SDcard to bottleneck the download speed. I just don't know about these SDcards and stuff. Please help me.
sandisk extreme or extreme pro... here
(obiouvsly you'll have to source a local deal)
if not available, you want to be looking for A2, U3 v30 cards
Sandisk or Samsung, I use them both and haven't had any problem. UHS 1 is the minimum speed if for modern phones.

I read an article saying that a2 sd cards is not yet supported in Snapdragon 845. If that is the case then it's better to use an A1 sd card to save money.
I don't trust SanDisk anymore after years of experience on many devices, nor other brands frankly, Kingston is the worst.. Only use Samsung Evo cards now. Also many fakes for all brands, even Samsung on Amazon.
I would also suggest Samsung evo
Samsung works ok in pocoloco
