Ok I am about to replace the stock 8GB Samsung card and my major requirement is to get Class 6 card and 2nd, to get 16GB.
I am between:
1) Samsung (8GB max class 6)
2) SanDisk (16GB Class 6)
3) Transcend (16GB Class 6)
I tend to trust Samsung better but it offers only 8GB. Samsung clearly described read and write transfer speeds.
On the other hand, Transcend & SanDisk websites don't state transfer speed and I don't just trust the Class 6 logo because I benchmarked my Samsung OEM Class 2 card with a Kingston 8GB Class 4 and the Samsung Class 2 was proved to be faster than Kingston. So, I'm not buying Kingston for sure although I have the channel to get them cheaper.
Has anyone compared the 3? At least I compared Samsung with Kingston and I know Kingston isnn't a good choice. I would like to see similar comparisons between the 3 and also trusted places to get them since eBay and Amazon are full of fake cards.
bos bais philei mou?
i would suggest the sandisk, transcend are dellia skada, the samsung is good, but not quite as good as the sandisk
Thnks my firend,
moreover, I notice that nowhere online (in UK) I can find SanDisk 16GB Class 6 micro sdhc.
A few shops give misleading info as they place a class 6 image in the outside category but inside the specs, they either don't mention or some state class 4 so I can't trust any of them.
Now I don't know who not to trust eBay & Amazon or authorized resellers with misleading specs.

if you buy from amazon themselves, it is fine, but the resellers are all fakes
try play.com - but sometimes the class isnt what it says, ive paid for class 4 and got class 2
I have a 8GB class 6 transcend and works fine on desire HD
It seems that ony Transcent has 16GB Class 6 micro sd. (Out of the 3 brands)
SanDisk has them only on their website but not available anywhere.
I'll have to decide between Smasung 8GB Cl6 or Transcent 16GB Cl6.
There’s been various tests & reviews online that more or less always show Sandisk coming out on top and most often delivering much more that what the class promises.
I’ve been using an 8 gb Sandisk class 6 for more than a year (first in Desire, then in DHD) – And switched to a 32 gb Sandisk class 2 a few months ago – No discernable difference in my opinion – Of course benchmarks will tell you otherwise, but they’re … benchmarks.

About sandisk delivering much more of what the class promises, i can't agree more with you.. True though, i've bought sandisk class 2, but the performance is more than my class 4 pendrive sd card.. pendrive brand sucks hard.. i'll never buy other except sandisk..
This guy in the post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11493723&postcount=9954 tried one from ebay and says its real. 16GB Sandisk Class 10

It's not SanDisk but generic no-name. I wonder if it will really satisfy the class 10 requirements in a micro card since there is no other sinilar from the known brands.
I'd say go for Sandisk. I have a class 4 SDHC microSD. I know it's only 4gb, but it's superior to any other card i've seen. It has write speeds of 20-25 mb/s, and read speads of 50+! Lol it outperforms my dad's class 10 16gb :S I thought that all class 4 cards have similar speeds, so I bought a Samsung 16gb class 4...it writes at 3mb/s
I don't know if this card is unique or if other Sandisk cards are just as fast, but my experiance with Sandisk is quite good
I agree about SanDisk, i have a class 2 8GB and write speed is 7MB/s
The Samsung class 2 8GB that came with my DHD has write speed of about 3MB/s.
I advice against samsung, on my DHD it was in bundle and now it is died after only a life month
Good Sandisk class 2 is sometimes better than other class 6...
i use a Kingston 32gb class 4 card and it works like a charm. Never had problems with Kingston cards.
Lexar class 10 32GB and Patriot class 10 32GB already in the market.
You can find Lexar at amazon and patriot at newegg.
Finally, although I am convinced about SanDisk, I chose Samsung Samsung Plus8GB class 6. The main reason is that it is much cheaper and I saw some performace benchmarks from another member here some time ago which were very impressive and also I could not find a trustworthy place from Internet to buy Sandisk which has been one of the major targets of replicas. Their support also hasn't convinced me because they never replied to some pre-sales questions I sent them. I don't doubt about the superior quality they have though.
We'll see.
Do you get fast read and writes with just a class 6, no lags or slowdown?
Hi guys i am looking to buy a 32gb Class 10, MicroSD card for my Desire, i am planning to partition it so i can have more internal space. After searching the market for a competitive price, i have came down to 2 options:
Lexar 32GB Micro SDHC Class 10 Extreme Speed
Samsung MB-MSBGAEU 32GB Class 10 Micro SD Card
I would appreciate if users here can recommend me which one i should go for and why (if owned either and used) ?
Thanks alot
As far as I know, many of the higher class cards have been produced by biasing performance to continuous read/write speeds, for use in camcorders/cameras etc so they can record ultra HD or burst capture etc. HOWEVER, for use in a phone, which needs greater random read/write access they can suffer compared to a regular class 4 which is a better balanced card. There is a lot of this going on in the HTC Mozart pages here on XDA, where I've been spending time (had a Mozart, ROM'd it and gave it to my girlfriend, she loves it).
Many people have tried different 32gb/16gb cards, different classes from 2-10 and the results have been surprising. WP7 seems to be unusually fussy about the cards that will actually work with it, and the only card guaranteed to work everytime is SANDISK which says a lot about the quality, and people have been finding that performance with a Class 4 SanDisk card is better than performance with a supposed Class 10 card by another manufacturer such as Integral, Transcend etc or even Samsung and Kingston.
In the end I bought a 32gb SanDisk Class 4 off Amazon, for a lot more than they are on eBay at around £28, apparently there are loads of near-fakes on eBay (only way I could guarantee it was genuine- the chinese are using genuine 4gb SanDisk cards and then re-branding and re-coding them as 32gb, the card thinks it's a 32gb, reports that it's a 32gb card but obviously runs out of room and has errors as soon as you try to put stuff on it).
Hope this helps- generally you get what you pay for and if it sounds too good to be true it usually is.
I bought yesterday a samsung class 6, 16 GB micro-sd card.
H2testw:
Writing speed: 10.00 MByte/s
Reading speed: 15.5 MByte/s
i know this post is about 20 days old, but maybe you haven't choosen a sd card yet
i first got a 16gb lexar class 6 card -> everything was fine
now i got a 32 gb samsung class 10 card
and i must say there is no remarkable speed/transfer difference
so buy a card which is class 6 or higher and everything should be fine
I have the Lexar class 10 32Gb card in my Desire, no problems. I bought it from Amazon during their Black Friday sale.
I have the Samsung 32gb class 10. Working flawlessly with 1gb ext4.

I got a lexar 32 gb class 10 at Christmas. So far no troubles, but I've never done any speed tests on it.
So far happy.
I got a 'Lexar 32GB Micro SDHC Class 10 High Speed' for £27 from Play.com and it works a treat!!!

I think I have fallen foul of this, I bought two 32gb cards from'micro sd cards uk' @ about 15 quid each and I cant write to them properly they are class 10 so they should be ok but I have nothing but probs with them on two laptops with different cards readers,
Ill contact the vendors tomorrow Ill keep you posted.
Sounds very cheap for a class 10 32gb card, I bought my samsung one around christmas for £35 and that was the cheapest price at the time!
I'm sorry to say this but if something sounds to good to be true then it probably is...
Definately Lexar that's what use and its works great and very fast too

I have been using Lexar 32gb class 10 for a year and its very good. I bought it for 29$ on a sale and that's what makes it amazing actually.

I strongly suggest to anyone.

I thought that the maximum allowed for Desire was 16 gb. Mine is 16 gb (Samsung), with good data transfer performance. By the way, in your situation I would go for Samsung.

-Samsung microSD SDHC 32gb Class10
This was the Ebay seller
(1) I'm going to buy a galaxy s4 when it comes out. I know it would probably be cheaper to buy the 16 mg version ,then buy micro sd card.
My question is does the phone work faster from the internal memory or does it pulll info just as fast from a micro sd card?
(2). Would sandisk extreme pro be a good choice ?

I was told that sandisk doesn't work well with Samsung brand so I suggest you to buy Samsung sd card as well
Like anything, internal memory will always be faster...

i have been using the SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 and it works fine in the sg3
just make sure you get the ultra class 10 as it has faster speeds than the lower class cards
put the things that need to pull up fast on the internal memory like apps and put everything else on the card like music and things you wont notice a difference on

Not always true. I recommend reading benchmark test on the card you want to by and its competitors. I've seen some benchmarks where a Class 6 Sandisk beat out a Kingston Class 10 in the past in "some" writing areas.
I had a nightmare with sandisk in general both in my dslr and GS2. I use Lexar now and never had one issue. Sandisk has great customer service though. Refunded all 3 of my pro cards.

If the Galaxy S4 supports the UHS sdcards (45mb or 90mb read/write) then that would be as fast as you need imho.

This is extremely true! Never trust an SD card by what the claims are on the box. I have purchased many SD cards (all brands) over the last couple of months. 6 class 10 Sandisk all 32GB from different sources (Amazon, Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc...) and none of them benchmarked in at class 10. Most were between class 4 and 8 write speeds with read speeds being a bit better. 2 PNY 32 GB class 10 cards. Both of those tested above class 10 performance but died within 2 weeks. I have not been able to find and Amazon Basics 32 GB Class 10, but the other Amazon cards I have tried have worked well. Samsung cards seem to work well as well, but I have not benchmarked any of them. It really seems to be a crapshoot if you get a good card or not. Each specific device seems to like some brands better than others. Also, there is a huge (and I mean huge) problem with counterfeit cards and misrepresented (changed) class of cards flooding all markets. So good luck and let everyone know if you find a good card.
I also would say, download and do a full write format on the card with sdformatter https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ prior to use. I have gotten many 4 speed cards to record hd video on my t3i just by using that software, when a regular format won't work.

My galaxy s3 supports uhs class 1 64gb sd card. .. sure s4 will support it..
.....
So I read many posts about the GT7+ and 7.7 with a lot of talk about problems with 64gb cards, sandisk class 10 cards,etc. Just curious about people's experiences with getting 32gb cards for this tab? Do other brands of non sandisk 32gb class 10 cards work (read and write) for this tab? Or should I try to find a class 4/6 to be safe?
Thx
The problem with SD cards is that the controller for reading/writing them is not on the card but on the device to save costs on the card side.
This means that your device is limited in SD capacity by its controller. As far as I know, the tab+ lists SD sizes up to 32GB as compatible, so a 64GB card will probably fail (or only show 32GB).
Most 32GB cards should not cause any problem.
Class 10 is always better the limitation with the 64gb must be because your ROM needs to read ExFAT instead of FAT32, i have not try the 64gb and don't know about a specific ROM with ExFAT support but i'm willing to try.
I have been using a class 6 Sandisk 64 card in my 6210 for the past 18 months or so. Before the class 6 card, i tried two class 10 Sandisk 64 cards and they were both unable to be read by the 6210. I tried to reformat them and they were completely unusable afterwards. I then got two Transcend 64 class 10 cards from amazon and they worked fine. I've got those cards in both of my samsung galaxy players (4.0 & 5.0)

Hi guys, i am looking forward to purchase a Memory Card for My Note 4 N910C, that supports Up to 128gb as mentioned on GSMArena.com, So my query is about to Memory cards, So please suggest me which company memory card i should buy. as there are lots of options available on internet.
The best microSD Cards on the market are those made by Sandisk and Samsung. Either of those brand will work perfectly with the N910C. I have a N910C with a 32GB Sandisk Ultra MicroSD Card, which I will be upgrading to a 128GB card when I find one in my local high street retailer.
I would highly recommend sticking to Samsung cards in a Samsung device. I know there is a lot of debate about this, but from my personal experience, I have had no less than 4 Sandisk 64Gb cards fail in various Samsung devices (phones and tablets), but I have never had a Samsung card fail. Currently I am using a Samsung 64Gb PRO, but the EVO should be fine too. Hoping to get a 128Gb PRO once the prices come down a little more.
Tested to Sandisk 200gb SD card on my Note 4 910A.

Samsung 128GB micro SD EVO UHS-I Class 10 48MB/s
I've been using this one pretty heavily in my N910C ever since I own it. Never have a problem whatsoever. Ultra reliable. Samsung storage yields the highest MTBFs in the field. Probably removed planned obsolence from the equation entirely, since they know that when 4 billion humans will want to buy their storage that will be more than enough to break-even and keep in business..

thanks for the opinion.
Buy samsung ones. I had a 32GB Sandisk Extreme, and it died within 1 month in Note 4.
I have sandisk ultra 64gb before, it's work perfectly on my s4.. but after a few month (almost full) it's became slow n sometimes stuck when transferring file from internal to external card, now I'm using galaxy note 4 SM-N910H and I'm using Samsung EVO+ 128GB, write speed always stable on 20mbps.. expect if I copying a lot of small file (like game data) it will be slow, but until now I have no problem with my card, so if u have samsung device why didn't you use the same brand with your device?
for me.. take the 128GB EVO+
(I wanna have the 256GB EVO+ but the price too high for now, so I'm choosing the 128gb for now)
i use a 64gb strontium and works well still

I love sandisk. have never had a problem with them. I bought a 128 gb from bb for 30 bucks. not bad . hopefully you find something as good
I have a "SanDisk 128GB microSDXC Memory Card Ultra Class 10"(80mbps read), it works great but I feel like it is tougher on the battery life every since I have my samsung 64gb replaced.
I've installed a Samsung 128GB Evo+ (faster than Evo, slower than Pro) in my N910V. When on Marshmallow, I looked at integrating it as a part of built-in memory, and the OS (CM13) complained that it was a bit too slow for that. I decided not to integrate. not so much for speed as I wanted to be able to switch ROMs and wasn't sure how that'd be with an integrated SD card. It's been fine (using it to store music, audiobooks, videos, ebooks, CoPilot maps, TiBackup backups and Nandroid backups)
