Will i need higher than class 2 microsd card to support HD recording on the DHD something like ultra high speed class 6 microsd card for better access speed?
Though im not sure if class 6 is supported on the DHD. if anyone can shed a light on this is greatly appriciated.
As they provide a Class2 card with the phone and advertise 720p video recording, the Class2 standard is apparently enough. This is just a guess, but I strongly think that DHD supports Class6.
Ok, just not too sure if class 6 is based on ver 2.0

It's enough cause we are talking here of a phone that has plenty internal memory to buffer data when you are recording stuff in 720p!!! Class 6 or 10 are needed on digital cameras or digital video cameras cause they usually don't have such huge internal memory to buffer data while recording...
Basically we are talking DHD as almost a computer in these particularly case
something else to consider is transferring anything to your phone or back again to a pc or mac. A class 2 card will be much slower than a class 6 or even a class 10.
I just thought I would check what Class my N97s Micro SD card was and it is a class 6 8GB, so that should keep me going for a bit.
Its pretty rubbish that when people are pay £500 for a phone, that they ship it with pretty old technology micro SD card.
Class 4 16gb kingston microsdhc are pretty cheap
guys what do you all think about this one
Transcend 16 GB microSDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card

i've placed an order for one of this for £23.00 through amazon. Doube the capacity and in theory speed than the sd cards the came with my DHD
please post what micro sd card you are using and how you are finding it on the DHD, just so we can see which works the best.
the reason i ask is because I am thinking about getting a bigger micro sd, but not sure what to go for!
thanks
I got a Toshiba 16GB Micro SDHC card from these guys for my DHD for £16.99 inc P&P, and it works great : http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/pro...d=106505&PHPSESSID=4foeg41alltvi1s6sifidtoip0
Its rated as a Class 4 card but I have actually obtained steady transfer rates of 6.5 MB/s and even at times up to 10 MB/s with it whilst copying across large files from my PC to the phone via USB.
I really should look a bit closer before posting!

I'm from the perspective of purchasing a memory card, 16 or 32 GB
I await your advice to not buy anything.
thank you
Just for the record, I'm more tempted by a 32 GB...
depends what you are going to be using it for?
music apps photos etc?
i have a 16Gb class 10 Joytech card in mine and it performs very well
Well, regardless of what you're going to use it for, extra free space is always welcome, and who knows, maybe you'll find yourself in need for more space than a 8 gb or 16, so, if the price difference ain't that big, go for 32.
The biggest and fastest you can get . Recently I bought 16GB class 10, because a/ I wanted to see if a faster card would make the shutter in video recording go away and b/ I needed a bigger card (one that would be enough to store a full season of TV shows - roughly 8GB and have space for my photos/music/apps). Because for me faster was more important than bigger I searched for class 10 cards and settled for 16GB (at a bargain price too - 30 EUR). I have to say that I'm very happy with it - it's really class 10, no shutter at all and I have enough space to copy a full season of a TV show to have with me to watch while I have nothing else to do.
whatever size you do get make sure its minimum class 6 or above otherwise as stated the speed (or lack of) may start to annoy you
SanDisk 16GB, best price-performance ratio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go for 32 Gigs.
even tho if youre low on money go for it! then you`l never go out of space
and the DHD dont slow down either so its a win win win!
Would recomend you to get atleast a 8gb class 6, you can get them for under 9GBP on amazon. In my opinion those are the bare minimums. You need class 6 to record 720p video without stutter and 8 gb holds decent ammount of music/videos.
It all depends on how much you willing to spend in reality.
Personally i just bought Patriot 16GB class 10.
I don't think anything above class 6 is very useful seeing as the memory card reader on the DHD may not be fast enough to read/write anything faster than that, but I could be wrong. I have a 16GB Class 4 Duracell myself which works at very high speeds, way above the classification. For it's price a very good card, in my opinion. But I'd go for 32GB if I had the money for it.

The DHD can read/write at speeds way higher than 6MB/s. My class 10 card has transfers of 19/11 MB/s (in the phone, not via a SD adapter) and there are reports of beter (and more expensive) class 10 cards working at even higher speeds.

No problem
I had a look at the Lexar, I've never used any Lexar products before, so I simply compared the reviews on both. According to the reviewers the Patriot is faster, and I've used Patriot's before and found them to have good speeds.
I guess you're gonna have to work out which is the cheapest and if it's fast enough for your needs. Personally I'd go for the Patriot, but I suggest you google both for reviews as it's you that's going to be using it.
If it doesn't have to be 32GB then this is worth a look..

Fill it with HD movies and use FLAC instead of mp3 for superior sound
Pity we can't use MicroSDXC, that goes up tp 2TB, though you can't even get your hands on a 64GB at the moment.

FLAC on a phone? Overkill much?
That said, I have started re-ripping all my CDs (yes I actually pay for my music) to FLAC formats. With memory prices going down, the time is ripe to convert to loseless goodness.

Overkill much? 6 months ago I would have said pretty much the same, but once I got the SGS and voodoo sound FLAC made complete sense. You will notice the difference between mp3 and FLAC with a decent set of headphones. One example, "Broken" by Nine Inch Nails, I never bothered listening to this on previous phones or mp3 players, it sounded terrible because it's a loud, distorted, in your face album, but having re-ripped it to FLAC for my SGS I'm actually able to enjoy it again while I'm out and about, I also listen to a lot of electronic stuff, most of Ultimae.com's catalog for example, and the difference is quite noticeable, to me at least.
Number 1 use for my phone is as a music player these days thanks to supercurio and FLAC.
And yeah, I pay for my music too, I'm dreading having to re-rip over 600 CD's and pay for another HDD to hold 'em all on.
Just so you know
On the samsung i9000, there is no difference in performance between 32gb Class2 & Class10
Save your money & buy class2

That's not entirely true, there is a difference, but whether or not you'll notice it just depends on what you're using the card for. If you're camera is set up to record HD video to your external SD then it must have a write speed of 6MB or you will end up with choppy, stuttering crap quality video. If you're just using the external SD for mp3's or playing movies you've transferred from your pc, class 2 is fine, but it will take you longer to transfer stuff from your pc to your phone

the kingston 32gb class 10 are not fakes, they were release just after the sandisk 32gb class 2, when they were first released, but were taken off the market and discontinued, due to high price, i saw them and was gonna get one when the price drop (the shop i saw them are a authorised dealer, so you dont need to think the shop is selling fakes).
it was about USD 170, when you compare them to the class 4 version at USD 55, why are they expensive, well they are the fasted microsd to present, with write at 16mb/s and read at 22mb/s.
I also have 2 lexar 32gb at class 10, and the speed is nowhere near the kingston.
lexar write speed at 11mb/s
read speed at 17mb/s
if you still want to try out the speed, you can still get the 4gb, 8gb and 16gb at class 10, just to give you the approximate price, the 16gb will set you about USD 81, more expensive than a 32gb micro sd.

I stand corrected
I tried a Playstation emulator app, and I am pretty sure that I could get more games working after I got my class 10 16gb card.
Since I use my phone for emulators, browsing, music, media player, remote desktop and probably as a travel computer soon... then having a faster SD card really comes in handy. If nothing else, then it comes in handy when deleting 8+ gb from it, just to put another 8gb+ onto it. Having a few extra mb/s really matters when doing that now and then.
Is the built in SD actually class 10? I really hope so, but if not I should probably consider moving a few more apps to the SD.
the built in memory is a nand memory chip soldered on the main board, it's reads and writes faster than microsd.
I've been wanting to upgrade my external card (8gb I think) to a 16 or 32. I've only just recently become aware of the different 'classes' and speeds of cards... just how much difference is there (in usability terms, gallery, music etc) between say a class 4 and 6 (or 8 or 10) or whatever the different classes are.
Raw numbers won't really help me (as I have no point of reference lol) but are they REALLY much faster in normal use? Are they worth it?

To be honest unless you have your camera set up to record to the external SD I don't think you need to worry too much about the class of your card, 720p recording needs a write speed of 6Mbps, but as the prices have come down a lot it makes sense the get the biggest card you can justify price wise. One advantage of a higher class card is that it's quicker to transfer files from your PC to your phone.
If you want a 16GB class 10 here's a decently priced one
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...viglink&awc=buyat&_$ja=tsid:11516|prd:viglink
If you want a fast 32GB class 4 this is one of the best prices I've found so far
http://www.mobymemory.com/products/MobyMemory/SanDisk-32GB-Micro-SD-Class-4.asp
(I have a SanDisk 8GB class 4 and it writes at just over 7Mbps, Sandisk are know for under rating their cards)
If you just want a 32GB, here's a class 2, (SanDisk so probably faster than rated)
http://www.mobymemory.com/products/MobyMemory/Sandisk-32gb-Micro-SDHC.asp
I bought a class 10 sd to replace my previous class 6.
I didn't notice a change! Speed was the same as on class 6.
Buy a class 6 sdcard instead of class 10. They are cheaper too
I think many people still dont understand the meaning of the classes that is stated on the memory card.
the class is just an indication of the minimun read speed and write speed that the card can offer.
so a class 2, 4 or 6 can reach the speed of a class 10 or even a class 16,
class 2 minimum 2mb/s
class 4 minimum 4mb/s
class 6 minimum 6mb/s
class 10 minimum 10mb/s
class 16 minimum 16mb/s
as for people who think there really is'nt any differences when compared class 2, 4 with a class 10, this will depend on what you use it for.
if your phone supports HD photo and recordings, then you will need a fast card, you will notice the speed differences, especially during recording videos, but for mp3's and phone normal use, then it does'nt show any differences.

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:

its Amazon Prime Eligible and comes with the adapter and usb reader.
I'm sure others will post their thoughts as well

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.

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

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.

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?

(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.

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.
Was wondering if anybody has tried if the SanDisk 400GB Ultra Plus Micro SD (SDXC) Card is compatible with Z5C.
I know specs say max. 256GB but on previous phones I've seen that larger cards might work
it might work because when Z5 was new the largest MicroSD card was 200GB, and abit after 250 and some ppl says 250GB work with their devices
now i have 16GB extreme plusUHSIII (For 4K) but on my last trip my SD memory runout really fast lost some photos\videos)
16GB cost me 50euro at the time , 256gb cost about 200eu.. so i guess 400 is super expensive
(ultra is alot alot cheaper but slower (about like class 10, 10MB\s write) i had 32GB one he was to slow and lagging for 4K)
i managed to connect my 1TB HDD via OTG but i guess its not the same
