SanDisk ultra still considered to be one of the best. I have 32gb version almost 3 yrs with no issues . Lexar makes a decent one also but I have personal knowledge.

Samsung's honestly. Faster than the comparable class# sandisk, even when used in a phone, (the difference is even more pronounced on PC) and I have seen reports of sandisk failures. (But that may just be a artifact of the total # of cards). I've had my samsung UHS 1 since launch. Works great.

I have a 32 and also 64 GB sandisk SD card I've had no issues out of them but I do know there was issues and they replaced any of them in said batch.

I have a sandisk ultra 32 and its never given me issues. They can be pricey but you get what you pay for (usually).

SanDisk ultra 32g class 10 has been good to me. Thinking of getting an Extreme 64g at some point though.

Which micro sd card?

Hi guys, I am thinking to get some additional memory for my beloved sgs2 and I am thinking of 16gb one, but I don't know which class of the card to buy. I can get class 4 for 15-18 euros, and class 10 at around 30. What would you suggest? Thanks

Sandisk all the way: they'recreliable and fast. Class 4 ones are pretty good: unexpensive and still really fast.
Thanks for replies! How much of video in full hd can be stored on 16gb card? Good thing to know that class 4 is not slow as the guy in the shop told me.

good find. its also on amazon.

I actually just got this and must say it's wonderful to have so much space. Great price for a 32GB MicroSD card. Now, lets hope 64GB cards become cheaper!
Yea I checked on some higher class 32GB cards and the prices were outrageous, I run a Class 4 8GB from sandisk now so it will be a huge leap! Do our phones support 64GB?

And it sees the full amount? Just checked a few sites on specs and they say only up to 32GB, then again you can never know what is true or not. Most sites just say supports microSD card.

That's probably because they did not have 64g cards to test with when they started making the phone

Yeah, I read that since the 64GB were primarily exFAT formatted, they wouldn't work initially but after a format to FAT32 it worked perfectly. So after the price goes down (or when the 128GB cards come [we need em now XD]) I'll definitely get one.
Well thats good to know for future reference, really I only need this card for movies. All my music streams from the cloud, and I am not a huge picture taker, this will be my main card for quite awhile =D will wind up using it on my note or note 2 (or whatever they will call it) whenever I get that, well 64GB get to this price then maybe I will upgrade =P Still baffles me that you can fit 32GB on a fingernail size piece of plastic =P

I was hoping to get a little help/insight on which is preferred.
I'm not to sure about class/specs.
Any help appreciated. Thanks

You can't go wrong with SanDisk. Class 10 is their latest/fastest speed.
If you want to save money, find yourself a Class 6 which is the next one down. I purchased a Class 6 64GB micro-card from a Best Buy sale for $49. I'm sure there are similar sales online though I don't think Best Buy is doing it anymore.
Search for them on Amazon, lots of results!
Make sure the phone can handle a 64gb card before shelling out for it. I don't know the microsd slot spec on the GS3.

Whatever you buy, buy from a reputable seller (thousands of reviews not a few hundred) and not just on price. There are a lot of fake cards being sold. I bought a 32g SanDisk that was a fake, and it was only 8gb no matter what the card read as. The size can be fooled.
That said, I have not tried the latest SanDisk cards, but I have a SanDisk 32 class 6, and a Lexmark 32gb class 10. The Lexmark comes with a much nicer and more substantial usb adapter, the SanDisk came with the smallest utilitarian usb adapter. Both can be put on a key chain. I use the faster Lexmark in the phone. I find the usb adapter better than a sd card adapter which I tend to misplace, as well as being useful in computers without a sd card slot.

SanDisk 64GB Ultra MicroSDCX
I've heard nothing but good things about this card. It's pretty much top of the line too.
It's class 10 and UHC class 1. It's advertised as class 6 just because they haven't updated the web page, I emailed the seller.
It handles the 1080p video recording due to the fast read/write speeds.
shock resistant, water resistant (I think, go to sandisks website to view all the awesome details).
Anyways, this is definitely the card I'm getting. They offer a 32GB version as well, but that may be only class 6 (still probably plenty of speed).

Best micro sd to get

Hey everyone, just wanted to get some opinions before I purchase a new sd card. I originally had a 32 gb class 10 Patriot micro sd but I've lost it and looking to replace it with something different. I have been looking into the SanDisk 32gb and 64gb uhs class 1 micro sds the same but not really sure yet so leave your opinion on what sd card you are using and how the experience has been with it.
Thanks everyone

I got the 64 GB SanDisk Class 10 and it works great. No complaints so far. Haven't done any speed tests but I can watch movies from it with no lag & transferring files from PC to phone is pretty quick. So I would definitely recommend it. Before this I was using the Lexar 32 GB Class 10 and would also recommend that as well.

I'm using the sandisk 64 GB UHS class one card as well, and I've been very pleased with it. I've had no problems watching videos, saving pics and videos is quick, and in general I've had no problems. I just ran two tests in SD card tester, and I'm getting 16.2 MB/s and 16.6 MB/s reading and 6 MB/s and 12.91 MB/s for writing (that first test seemed low as I know I've tested it at more than 10 MB/s writing before, so I ran it again).
never had a problem with sandisk cards in my phones.

I own and use SanDisk ultra 64gb class 10 on my EVO 4g LTE and it runs great for the most part.
Though make sure you leave atleast 2-3gb of free space on it because if you fill it up full, the performance drops to the floor (less than 1mbytes/sec in write speed).
Also, if you happen to download a lot of stuff or change file names or move around files a lot on your sdcqrd, I discovered that it could also drop the performance of you sd card as it doesn't have trim to keep up performance like on ssd's. The simple fix for it would be to unmount and remount it under settings.
I would say, it is a good and reliable card as I didn't have any corrupted files even when I filled the card full

I have the SanDisk UHS-1 64GB micro-sd card. It is NOT a Class 1, like mentioned earlier!! It is comparable to a Class 10, if not faster!! I got mine on Amazon for $41 shipped, and got it in less than a week. Its great, I highly recommend it. I actually got 2, one for my EVO LTE and one for my Asus Infinity(TF700T). I upgraded to them from two SanDisk Class 4 32GB cards. HUGE improvement!!!

I will second what leo said. Have had the Sandisk class 10 64gb for a while now and it works flawlessly. Amazon has them under $47
I've had two Sandisk microsd cards, a 16gb class 4, and a 64gb class 10, both failed. The second one I left overnight in my Sandisk usb reader overnight plugged into my laptop. Luckily, Sandisk sent me a new one quickly. But, I was un-aware of the fact that Sandisk sells microsd cards much faster than their Ultra cards. More money=more speed. Check-out their site for more details. Turns out, Ultra cards are one of their slowest cards.

Just need your opinion which brand is best suited , and also which class.

Anything that's class 10 is fast enough, eg for 1080p video. Transcend do a good one but if you don't mind paying a bit more then the SanDisk Extreme is excellent.

I use class 4 16 gb instead of 32 gb class 10, feels better for me. Just look at the prices, there are these very cheap ones and expensive ones, try to buy one with a price that makes sense, in sd cards, generally pricey means durability, so focus on prices and get something your budget likes.

Hmm....currently using class 4 16gb sandisk with no problems. Thinking of expanding to 32 gb.
Price is secondary, i dont want to end up paying on a sd card which stops working after a few days of usage.

I have a class 10 32gb Lexar. It's read speed is brilliant - like all decent class 10 cards. It's write speed is quite low.
As a result I use my lexar sd for the storing of music, videos, apks etc. But I tend not to 'write' onto it with camera and video stuff. It will probably be fine but the write speed isn't that high so I don't want to risk errors or anything.
Thanks for ur advice guys
