I have a Lexar 633x MicroSDXC and I feel good
I bought the Sandisk 128 the day it came out. The price has been cut in half ever since to about $50-$60 which indicates newer versions (ie pro or extreme) or higher capacities will be released. I haven't had any issues with them and am content with read write speeds. I would however recommend the extreme or pros if you plan to do a lot of 4K video recording.
Thanks to both of you. I may do a one minute 4k recording cause it's there but otherwise it's a useless feature for me. won't use it.
Get the Samsung Pro or Sandisk Extreme, you will not have any issues with performance, when I was previously doing bench marks almost two years ago the Sandisk was twice as fast, might have changed a little now.

I've stuck with Lexar 633x cards since i bought my Hero 4 Black.
They have been the best performing cards i have used.
I went eventually with this one

I am using Sandisk Ultra 128GB SDXC UHS-1 48Mbps. I bought it around $57 in my country.

Buy the cheapest
No but really, Sandisk Extreme Plus and the Samsung EVO Plus seem to work well, they have high read speeds and somewhat good write speeds. I bought the Sandisk Extreme Plus on black friday for $40 and after having it for a month, it works pretty good (copying photos or videos is relatively quick). I copied a 1.9GB video to it and it took about 2 minutes (15.69 MB/s was the transfer speed).
TRANSCEND microSDXC UHS-I Class 10 - TS128GUSDU1
I got the Samsung 128gb evo+ pro, if you're going for a lot of data then you shouldn't go cheap on the writing speed. Never doing that again. I already have it 3/4th filled and it's still going great.
However, now, those 128GB card with 90MB/s label, only read on 90MB/s. The writing speed is only 20~30MB/s.
I use Lexar 633x too.

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

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?

using this http://www.strontium.biz/products/flash-cards/microsd-cards/64gb-uhs1-u3-microsd-nitro-plus
on pc, speed is as advertised. but on Z1C i get 30/25 ish
Found something good .its new samsung evo 64. got for $40.look at images.one is in laptop sd slot .other inside z1c conected to lap using data cable.speeds are really good compaired to my sandiks write speeds
I also got the Samsung Evo 64. At first everything seemed fine but soon after I found I now have problems with the Z1C's camera when the Evo 64 is inserted into the phone. At first it starts lagging and then it crashes and can only then be fixed by a reboot.
Is anybody else experiencing problems with Z1C + Samsung Evo 64?
I'm quite sure the problem is specific to the Evo 64 card since I tested several other micro sd cards I had flying around (2gb noname, 8gb transcend,..) which all worked just fine and didn't crash the camera..
So maybe a non-UHS card is the better choice for the Z1C?

Actually it does, I am currently using this Sandisk Extreme Pro 32Gb micro SD.
It is very expensive but believe me results are very much pleasing...album thumbnails take no time to load at all and movies thumbnails alike. Therefore I can confirm a 32 GB UHS-1 SD Card can indeed be used by the Z1C, I just have no idea about the 64 GB Uhs cards

I will never go with sandisk again. I bought samsung pro for my tab and z3, very contented with 40MB/sec speed. I bought Samsung evo for my brother for his Z1c. I guess samsung is the most reliable for memory cards. SanDisk just suddenly corrupted itself (their xtreme 64gb). It wasn't just a software failure but the controller chip failed (and it was also confirmed by the tech)

When I got my Z1c last december I quickly get one 32GB Kingston that is what i'm currently using with my device, mostly to store music, that is what I really matter to manage with it.
But it happens that my music catalog is growing fast over 30GB, so i'm interested in a 64GB SD... Think I need to start looking for that Samsung cards.
This is the one I use
Samsung Pro 64GB microSDXC UHS-1 Card.
Read Speed: Upto 90MB/s

This thing is wicked fast!
The review of this MicroSD card is on The SSD Review website. I can't post links unfortunately :crying:
In the review, it's actual speeds are extremely close to it's rated speeds. It's expensive though.
I will PM you the link.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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
I haven't had an android phone with an SD card since the OG Moto G days and I have heard every now and then that the way they're handled has changed?
Will the Galaxy Note 20 still keep the SD card and the internal storage separate and use the SD card for media, or does it combine the two in to a larger storage area?

Will the Galaxy Note 20 still keep the SD card and the internal storage separate and use the SD card for media, or does it combine the two in to a larger storage area?

It is separate. Like having an extra HardDrive on your computer. You can store media files on either or both of them.

It can't merge the two since it uses different technology.
Internal storage is way faster than an SD card.
The two are separated.
"way faster" ..
the SD storage is "way fast" enough for many things you plan to do with the phone. get a fast high speed card (i picked up the 1TB sandisk) .
burst mode on the camera will be forced to internal storage (user cant change that) . i did some early tests yesterday with the phone's video camera in different formats and aspect ratios and the card handled the throughput nicely.
but for installing application, I would prefer on internal storage rather than SD card even with an A2 rated card.
Yes because the constant IO and polling the card consume the battery faster
Plus, there's no security and encrypting / decrypting make it longer.
Can i use sd card with dual sim in note 20 ultra
Anybody can help me to know that, if i am using dual sim (one physical sim and other esim), can i use SD Card in Note 20 Ultra?

I don't see why not. If one is an esim, then the microsd slot will be available.

THANKS,
If you want best speed performance go with the A2 rated Sandisk Extreme or Extreme Pro. They are expensive of course. For my day to day use I just settled with Samsung EVO Plus microSD. Does the job competently at budget friendly price.

I have that one in 256gb it's okay but nowhere near as fast as my lexar 1800x but its only avail in 128gb and is 2x the price of the sandisk for half the storage...worth it? Probably not.

I just bought Kingston 'Canvas Go! Plus' 256GB card, also rated as A2 and I have found a few benchmarks showing it is a bit faster than the Sandisk Extreme Pro at a cheaper price . I have my doubt too but gonna try it when the card arrived. The Kingston card has a lifetime warranty, will see how it performs. I am very curious too. Here is one of the reviews I saw: https://pokde.net/system/pc/storage/kingston-canvas-go-plus-microsd-review/

Let me know about that Kingston card once you get it. Run some benchmarks on it.
I literally just ordered the Sandisk 256GB 15 minutes ago on Amazon for $48. The Kingston is $49. The Sandisk is rated 160MB Read and 90MB write. The Kingston is 170MB read and 90MB write. I checked out that review you posted and seems like a great card. I'm thinking about cancelling my order and getting the Kingston card instead.

From my research the Note 20Ultra doesn't support the higher end micro SDcards anyway. I can't remember the technology names (the different classes of Micro SD cards) but I did some research on what SDcard to get and the super fast micro SD's are useless in the Note20 since it doesn't have the proper tech to support the higher speeds. I wish I could remember how to explain it technically, but I can't remember the terms to use.

In my country the price differ quite a lot so I get the Kingston. Definitely gonna try it esp. on random read and write. You mean UHS-I and UHS-II right? Agree with your point, Note 20 Ultra does not have UHS-II capability, so focusing on random read and write is more logical.

Yes, UHS I vs UHS II. I'm no expert on SDcards. I did do my research though and found out that the super high-end Micro SD's will not reach their full potential on the Note 20 Ultra. I was trying to find out which one to buy to give me the fastest performance.
I just went to amazon and cancelled my order for the Sandisk and was going to order the Kingston. But I got to checkout and the Kingston wouldn't get here until September 24th! So I ordered the Sandisk again since it will be here on the 2nd
I'd still like to know how that Kingston performs for you. I'm going to run some benchmarks on my Sandisk as well. We could make a thread about it to help other XDA users decide which to get.

Yup, we can compare the performance between these 2 cards. Besides speed, another thing to take into consideration is reliability. My previous S7 Edge is running Samsung Evo card and works reliably for almost 5 years now, although it is slow. This Kingston 'Plus' card is newer version of Canvas! Go, so not sure about the reliability. Sandisk Extreme Pro maybe a more reliable card.
For benchmark, not sure which app to test on phone instead on PC. I have 'Anvil’s Storage Utilities' result for the Sandisk card (128GB) tested by myself and comparing the benchmark results with that review link, Kingston actually surpass Sandisk by a bit. Probably can't feel it in real world use XD.
Btw, I have the Exynos version of Note 20 Ultra. Sadly my courier is taking way too long to deliver my card, bought my Kingston on 17th Aug actually

I'll have to do some research to find out the best way to test on the phone. I have the SD version but I doubt the SOC matters in a drive speed test.

I have received my Kingston card and tested it. Using my office PC (WD Blue 1TB SSD) and same card reader (Ugreen brand) for both cards.
Anvil's Storage Utilities benchmark results:
Kingston Canvas Go! Plus (256GB): https://imgur.com/FmSsoX0
Sandisk Extreme Pro (UHS-I) (128GB): https://imgur.com/wZ68Ian
CrystalDiskMark 7.0.0 benchmark results:
Kingston Canvas Go! Plus (256GB): https://imgur.com/l9u1POG
Sandisk Extreme Pro (UHS-I) (128GB): https://imgur.com/QqGNNAE
From the benchmark, Kingston win over Sandisk on almost all criteria but keep in mind that I only tested on 128GB Sandisk card.
Doing a file transfer (Windows 10 ISO file) the speed for Kingston is around 80MB/s while the Sandisk is 75MB/s. I am happy with my purchase Now on my Note 20 Ultra, I have encrypted it but not sure whether it will have an impact on the performance, my guess is it will.

I have edited my reply just now, add in Crystaldiskmark results. I guess there is no significant difference between these 2 cards. Both of them are better than Samsung's Evo XD. Probably best cards for our Note 20 for now.
