The best Micro SD Card for the Galaxy S5

I was wondering if what BRAND, TYPE, AND CLASS will be useful for the Galaxy S5? I heard that the 64GB Sandisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-1 chip is good but doesnt have the full 70mbps reading speed and 20mbps writing speed support on a galaxy s4. It would really help me decide if you suggest what kind of sd card will be fit for the GS5. Thanks!

I have a samsung 64GB. As for the class, it's always class 10, any lower and your giving away performance. As for the type, not sure what that is, for me the type is MicroSD, and all class 10 64gb microsds are UHS-1. I have never had any performance issues with my card but i know sandisk released a gold edition version of their 64gb card that gives an extra 10mb boost, but not sure if its worth it for double the price of any other 64gb, if not, 70mb/s is more than enough

well I went through 3 32GB SanDisk card's in less than 8 months, I invested the cash and got back then the 32GB Samsung card and is being working without a glitch for almost 2 years in the dot. Needless to say, I bought a 64GB Samsung card this go around.

Will the Sandisk Ultra keep up while using the 4k on a Galaxy S5? By means of video shooting and video playback?

What's the story behind those 3 SD Cards from Sandisk? Because that's what I'm planning to buy.

I got my card today. Samsung micro SDXC UHS-I Pro Class 10 64GB. Read up to 70MB/s Write up to 20 MB/s.
The S5 is compatible with 128GB cards, but way expensive.

I've used a SanDisk 64GB card for over a year with no issues. Before that a 32GB, which was the same. SanDisk have the largest market share in the UK by some margin (which aggrieves Samsung). I never did see intrinsically higher return rates on SanDisk cards or Samsung cards. Both brands are good, both make there own flash memory (Samsung would tell you they make ALOT of flash memory).
You however get lots of fake SanDisk cards (better brand equity), I've even seen reputable retailers get duped, which tends to happen less with Samsung.
Buy from a reputable retailer and which ever brand you choose you will be fine. I personally prefer SanDisk but I don't have a rational reason for it. 128GB will drop in price over the next 6 months (obvious really). So I'd save your money. Faster cards are better and for the small difference in cost it's worth it. Although be aware that you are not paying for better quality "memory" as per se but a faster controller.

Agreed. The new release by Samsung from the EVO/PRO line would probably be best.
I'll probably pick one of those up when they drop a bit in price.

Can anyone confirm that you can still set the micro sd as your main storage source?

Here your link i see 64 gb. That's good capacity range for S4..:silly:

I have a class 10 64gb Sandisk I paid £30 for about 6 months back. I have never had any issues with it in my S4 and the speed is fine. I will be swapping it over to my S5 on Friday and expect pretty much the same.
I am interested to see what speed I will get via the USB3.0 feature though.

Samsung micro SDXC UHS-I Pro Class 10 64GB. Read up to 70MB/s Write up to 20 MB/s.

I purchased the

$38 USD and Prime shipping. Getting my S5 finally tomorrow!

Is it true that you cannot move your apps to the micro sd card?

Microsd 64g ?

Hi guys.
Recently I've changed my old gt-i9000 with the s4 i9506.
I look for a good 64gb microsd card.
What is your suggestions?

If you're looking to go all out, the Samsung Pro 64GB Micro SDXC has excellent numbers, like 90/50MBps read/write and it's $69.99.
If you're looking for a very good micro SDXC card for less that $70, the Samsung EVO 64GB Micro SDXC is more than capable for $47.99

Good eye. I kinda like scandisk. And if your going to spend the cash.. might as well go for a class 10 ..

I like sandisk too but i can't find them free shippings.
The samsung seems to be also a good choice and fast.
Any others?

Here's a scandisk 64GB class 10 for less than $40 with free shipping.. link to sdcards

Ive used pny and sandisk. Both are fine. Just ordered a sandisk 128gb as well. 64 gb's can be had for $30 now days.

!
Bought the Samsung pro 64gb micro sd For almost 70$ from ebay.
Card tested and it is original.
I've noticed a small change on speed as it seems to work faster than before.
Anyone noticed any speed differences with a fast microsd card?

I use 64GB and Laggy -_-

Very helpfull,thank you for your information.

I have a transcend 32gb class 10 uhs1 card. Definitely faster than the old 16gb SanDisk card and pretty cheap. Their 64gb is under $40 on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AF...200_QL40&qid=1407604730&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

What's the best type of SD card for Note4?

Hey guys, My wife and I will be getting the Note4, what SD card is recommended? I don't know if we're going with a 64 or a 128 just wondering about quality and SD vs SDXC. thanks..

My Thoughts
I was contemplating the 128 but i don't think i'll ever use it, and im a music and movie junkie, but i don't keep movies (or tv shows) on my phone after i watched them, so i went with a 64gig sandisk mobile ultra. I also don't believe the phones can take full use of the higher transfer rates of some cards (48mb/s+ cards) so i went with this guy here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JAKH0F4
its Amazon Prime Eligible and comes with the adapter and usb reader.
I'm sure others will post their thoughts as well
Goodluck

Bingo! This card rocks and priced right!

These phones won't take advantage of the higher speeds of the Extremes and Pros unless you're removing the card from your phone and plugging it into a USB 3.0 card reader each time. So The 48MB/s Ultras and Evos are good enough.

yeah, like he said, if you are only using the card in your phone, get this guy for less than 40 bucks!

Just picked up one of these
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Elect...412429044&sr=1-6&keywords=64+gb+micro+sd+card
Got good reviews and has the bandwidth for 4K. The Note 4 will be my first 4K device so I wanted to make sure I had a good card to go with it. Dont need 128 GB (yet) personally as I stream pandora for my music. I am sure the sandisk cards would have been just fine as well.

I have the 128GB microSD card and it's great! Super fast, and stupid high capacity. But with picture and video file sizes getting bigger and bigger, and phones doing more and more, I believe that the space will come in handy. I've currently got LOTS of HD movies on it in the Note 3... but if I need the space on the Note 4 I can easily delete them.

hi,
I need to ask what you thin about this SD : SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra Micro SD (SDXC) Card - Class 10 UHS-1
I had this about a year and would be good for note 4 and QHD video? or which speed is good for note 4 to be great for video camera?
thanks

Really makes no difference since the phone does not support the UHS-I speeds. The SanDisk Ultra would be as good as a more expensive ones.

sanddisk and Samsung are both highly rated as very good quality. You can't go wrong with either. I suggest which ever one on sale or cheaper that's the way to go.

great guys thanks, I was scared to buy new one card.

Im getting this..
Samsung Electronics 64GB PRO Micro SDXC with Adapter Upto 90MB/s Class 10 Memory Card (MB-MG64DA/AM) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IVPU88U/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_kLSmub1MQDR6P

Grabbed this one for $80 during the sale in the morning.
http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-High-Performance-microSDHC-Memory-LSDMI128BBNL633R/dp/B00O1M21H8
Decided to go with it since Lexar (micron/crucial) makes the best chips and the warranty is better than the one provided by Samsung and SanDisk. But most importantly, it's faster than the current SanDisk.

I wish there was an option to up the voltage to the SD card readers in Samsung phones. I get that they lower the power for battery life and heat, buy I also want to get decent transfer speeds with my phone. No real point in getting an SD card above 48MB/s for phone use only as the required voltage for UHS-1 is not available. I do believe that all Snapdragons since the 600 support UHS-1 though. Too bad.

i'm curious about the 128 gb max storage on specification, does that mean phone+ micro sd = 128 max or 128gb micro sd+ phone internal storage?

128gb max is the microsdxc alone (but that's only because there aren't any 256GB microsdxc cards on the market)
it's 128gb + 32gb

Running SanDisk ultra sdxc 128GB in my GN3 and mt Go Pro Hero3 black .
Like computers, our devices tested/rated for what memory is currently available when the device is released.
For example GN3 is rated for 64GB sdxc, but 128GB works fine.
For what was initially stated in the OP.
The variants of "sd" are based on capacity. With few exceptions to some 4gb mSD cards, sdhc is 4gb-32gb , and sdxc is 64+GB for meow. Until something greater than 128GB is released, which may or may not be sdxc or variant of.

Whats the max speed can the note 4 read on sd card? Same as note 3 and other recents samsung phones?

THIS IS THE BEST CARD OUT PERIOD.
If you want the best, here you go:
Samsung Electronics 64GB PRO Micro SDXC with Adapter Upto 90MB/s Class 10 Memory Card (MB-MG64DA/AM)
For the cost of your kidney you can also opt for: Lexar High-Performance microSDHC 633x 128GB UHS-I Flash Memory Card LSDMI128BBNL633R
(However, I'd wait for Samsung's 128GB PRO ....one things for sure, you can count on it in every way.)
SanDisk is garbage...never again. The integrity of the cards have tanked over the years.
Go Samsung....

Lexar is every bit as good as Samsung if not better. they're owned by Micron/Crucial and are known in the photography and computer sphere for making the best chips out there, but I guess their stuff is marketed as more high brow so the average consumer isn't acquainted with the brand. Note that the Lexar cards have lifetime warranties for a reason.

Samsung EVO 64GB MicroSDXC worth it?

Hi guys
So I currently have a SanDisk Ultra Class10 32GB MicroSDHC in my phone, but I am running out of space and I am looking at getting a 64GB MicroSDXC. I am tempted to get a Samsung EVO 64GB MicroSDXC, anyone had one of these? Are they noticeably better than SanDisk's Ultra range?

Hey buddy!
While I cant compare the EVO to the Sandisk ultras.. I do have a 64gb EVO and all I can say is that I am extremely blown away with the performance of the sd card. Not to mention how damn cheap they are! I setup a ftp server on my wifi and was able to transfer about 40gb of mkv to the sd card at like 9-10mb/s. The read and write rate are incredible.

Hey! I had the same 32GB ultra in my phone at first and found that i ran out of memory quickly. I broke down and opted for the 128 GB EVO and I love it. Well worth the extra money spent. If 64 is enough for you then that is the one I would go with. But my thought process was I plan to use my SD Card throughout more phones in the future. As technology gets better and better it seems that file sizes get larger and larger (in particular the size of movie files) so I wanted to make sure I wouldn't have to worry about running out of space for a couple years at least. Just my 2 cents.

I'm using 2 pcs of 64 GB Samsung EVO microSDXC UHS1.
One for my Note 10.1 N8000 & One for my Note 4 N910H.
Both microSDs run very well, I even get 12-15MB/s when copying files into the microSD.
Tested using an app, it can reach around 16 MB/s write speed.
Next time I'll buy the 128GB version

Do check out the Evo+ cards as well. They sell at slight premium but offers almost twice the data throughput of evo cards. Pro and pro+ cards are even more expensive but the speed bump isnt as much.

I have the 64GB Pro and transfer speeds seem to be pretty fast when transferring files and such (I haven't actually tested it).
Also recently bought a few 64GB Evo cards for family members and tablets.

sure it worth it

Compatible Memory Cards for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910C

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)
