Working fine
SanDisk 32GB Class 4 from Amazon @ $22 USD.
So far so good.
I installed a new SanDisk Mobile Ultra 32GB UHS-1 Class 10 (SDSDQUA-032G-A11A) in mine, and it worked. Even though it benchmarks much better than my old SanDisk 32GB Class 4 (SDSDQM-032G-B35N,) the difference in performance is negligible. I tested two DVPs side by side, and the most significant difference I saw was about a 30% reduction in time for a 100MB game install.
I've heard that the Samsung 32GB Class 10 (MB-MSBGA/US) also works, and benchmarks extremely well. Make sure, as always, that you buy from a reputable seller. I (foolishly) bought one from a seller on ebay, and it was a fake with 4k writes 30 times slower than the genuine card.
Generally you want to stay away from class 10 cards. The only two I know of that have random write speed fast enough to be acceptable are the SanDisk SDSDQUA-032G-A11A and the Samsung MB-MSBGA/US.
Both of those cards are currently $40. The SanDisk SDSDQM-032G-B35N is perfectly adequate for $20.
I'm interested in finding out if anyone has put a 64GB card in this. The DVP's lack of hard reset key press combo makes me nervous to try. I've heard they work in Samsung Focus i917.

I've had a SanDisk 32GB Class 4 from Amazon in my phone for a few months and everything seems peachy. I made sure to buy a retail packaged card from a seller listed on Sandisk's authorized reseller website to be sure that I had a legit card.
Here is an old thread about cards people have tried in the DVP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921850

Brand new. I've had problem with it, because after the OS start, it pops up that there is wrong SD card inserted and I must reinsert the original one. So I did, initiated factory reset and when the phone restarted I've removed battery, inserted that new 32GB card and it works till now without any problems
Anyone using 64GB?

Working out great! Thanks to all that responded, let's keep this going!
Upgraded from a 16GB Sandisk Class 4 to this : http://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/ultra-class10-for-android/?capacity=32GB
There was a HUGE difference in the first boot time and overall responsiveness was much better(at first anyway,I don't know whether it's become slower now). Definitely worth it Camera performance seems to have improved too(viewfinder and recorded videos don't lag as much).Now I wish Dell had provided the option to take 720p videos at 30 fps. Benchmarks don't seem to have improved by much, though.
Is there any risk in trying a 64GB SDXC card?
No,because it supposedly was there on the T-Mobile site a couple of years ago( 64GB version of the DVP). Even if it doesn't get supported,the worst that could happen is you need to use it in your camera or something most probably if it doesn't work properly it'll recognize 32GB.

Isn't that the stock card? Unless yours was 8GB. You really should have went to the 32GB class 10 or atleast something above class 6, it makes A LOT of difference.
Transcend 32G class 10 works too
I have a question for you guys, my stock 8GB card is almost full and I would really like to upgrade it. Is there a way to keep my SMS's? Also, I already updated to WP7.8, will the phone revert back to 7.5 if I change the SD card? Any other risks you guys can think of? Thanks.

upgraded to sandisk 32gb uhs-1 (class 10)
works quite well. phone is performing faster and is a bit more fluid.
multitasking capabilities are much better.
been using the phone as my primary. heavy day to day use.
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroSDHC-Memory-Adapter-SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A/dp/B009QZH7BU
also, ive noticed that regardless of changing the microsd card. the 720p video capabilities of this phone are still below expectations. there is still a lot of noticeable lag when recording hd video. does anyone have tips to fix this or improve on it in any way?

I have this one, just 32GB version.
its good fast card but its not as fast as the internal memory. example i can shoot 1080p 60fps video with no prob, but it cant take the fast burst mode on the camera, it slows down
4k video.
I'm looking at a 64gb card that can handle 4k vid recording from Z1 Compact so will the std one be ok or is there a minimum requirement?

it doesn't.. it sucks at 30/25 R/W only.
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
bought this 64gb card for 25 bucks on black friday: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M55C1I2/ref=pe_385040_127541860_TE_dp_1

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)

What a shame...
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
Write Speed: Upto 80MB/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.
I'm using the Samsung Evo 64GB. Works flawless.
I personally use Sandisk Extreme Pro SD Cards, UHS-1 up to 95Mb/s Read/Write Speed, kinda pricey but they're also waterproof

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..
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA Free mobile app
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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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 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 .

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.

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.
