This card looks very Juicy....
Hopefully the price is less than 100$
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/hardware/samsung-unveils-new-32gb-class-10-high-speed-microsd-card/13520
These new 20-nanometer-class offers 32GB of storage at a Class 10, the highest speed class currently available (above Class 4 and Class 6). These cards offers write speeds of 12 MB/s and read speeds of 24MB/s. This makes them ideally storage partners for modern smartphones featuring 1080p-capable cameras.
“The industry demand for high-class-rated memory cards addresses the growing performance push for next generation mobile applications in more advanced smartphones including 4G models,” said Wanhoon Hong, executive vice president, memory sales & marketing, Samsung Electronics. “As the industry adopts microSD cards with a class 10 rating, the superior data transfer speeds are expected to improve the mobile user experience tremendously.”
You can find higher capacity microSD cards out there (KINGMAX introduced a 64GB Class 6 card back in May) but you won’t find faster.
No pricing details have been released, but I expect these to set you back a fair few dollars.
Is this going to be different than the anycall microsd card currently available from ExportPrive.com or is it just a rebranding available to US markets?
Has anyone used the anycall card BTW? any reviews?
I bought the Lexar 32gb class 10 from amazon and it works great

I bought it from amazon too but speed not enough for class 10. But it cheap compare to other brand.
A class 10 card has fast sequential reads and writes, but slow random reads and writes. Best for mobiles is still a class 4 card.

Since the 8 gb card that came with my DHD is a little too small I'm looking for a 16 gb sd card.
I browsed through amazon's selection and found many bad reviews regarding data loss on several products. What brands are generally known for reliable SD cards? Sandisk seems to make good cards?
And another thing, I read that often SD cards are faster than their class. There were people that got transfer rates of up to 15 mb/s with a class 2 card. Apparently a class 2 card is basically the same as a class 6 card, just that in the latter case the manufacturer guarantees the higher speed while in the former it might be slower. Is that true?
As for brands, I recommend SanDisk and Lexar. I've used cards from both manufacturors in all my cameras and phones for years, and I've never had a card fail me.
I got 2 Lexar in camera + phone : no problems so far
+1 for SanDisk
The Speed Class Rating is the official unit of speed measurement for SD Cards, defined by the SD Association. The Class number represents a multiple of 8 Mb/s (1 MB/s), and meets the least sustained write speeds for a card in a fragmented state.

Wikipedia quote
If I understand it write, the class rating is a sustained speed, so you may get faster speeds, but usually not.
Also from that same site, manufactures quote speeds, and not an independent testing company, so they may not always be honest XD
Secondly, Sandisk for 16 gig never gave me a problem. However, at 8 and 4 gig pny hasn't given me any issues either.
i wanted a bigger card a month ago and looked at both lexar and sandisk 16gb, i went for the lexar as it was apparently faster in the reviews and was only a tiny bit more expensive than the sandisk. and it has been perfectly reliable.
Ok, thanks.
joememe, which reviews did you read? I found one lexar vs sandisk at nokiaguide.com and just want to make sure we don't both base on the same review.
Because if lexar really is better I'll spend the few extra €.

That's interesting and a good thing because standards like S-ATA 1/2/3, USB 1/2/3 and many others define the max possible transfer which isn't very userfriendly.
So I suspect that all cards of a manufacturer are essentially the same and get a class 4/6/10 rating after production according to their QA results. Like with a CPU you might get lucky and the card just barely didn't make it to 10 and thus get a very good performance class 6 card.
I ordered a 16gb class10 Transcend card from Newegg and LOVE it. Lifetime warranty ftw!! I've tried returning Sandisk cards for warranty and haven't received a response in months...so not +1 for Sandisk if there are warranty problems.
I just picked up a Transcend 4gb class 6 micro sd from Newegg and it died within a day. Luckily Newegg is shipping out a replacement asap and I don't have to return the defective card.
+1 for lexar 16gb class 6
Here's a link to the one I use. I own 8 or so of these and use them in cell phones, camera's, and even in a cam corder. I have yet to see one of them fail or have any sort of performance issues.
SanDisk 16 GB Class 2 microSDHC Flash Memory Card
Note that even though it's a class 2, in my testing with each of the cards I own, I have consistently gotten class 4 performance from all of them.
If you want something even bigger, the 32 GB cards have really come down in price. Here's a SanDisk for $71.
SanDisk 32GB MicroSDHC Card (SDSDQ-032G-A11M, US Retail Package)
Isn't the price a bit too low? The one on Amazon has a bad review saying it didn't come in the retail package.

IMO, Sandisk is definitely the best choice for a quality microSD. They always perform much better than their class rating. And the also are most consistent in getting good randon read, write and access speeds, which is much more important that the class rating when using the card in cell phones or for any task other than just large data transfer and digital cameras. Higher class cards only give higher sequential write speed, but usually are worse at random read/write speeds and access time than a class 2 or 4.
what micro sdhc card (brand and class) i should buy for the samsung galaxy s II ?

Yeah this one, or a lexar class 10 if you want high transfer speeds with your pc.
Or a sandisk class 2 if you dont care about recording movies to your micro sd card.
the sandisk 32gb class 4 will work good with 1080p recording ?
and where i can buy it ?
because on amazon.com i can't find the class....
thanks
When I bought the Samsung WB2000 / TL350 compact camera which recorded 1080p @30fps it required a "Sandisk Extreme"... It apparently has a 20MB/s write speed. No class written on the card though...I think it's class 6 as class 10 is 30MB/s.
I would have thought you'd need a higher class to write HD video...
Note: "Sandisk Extreme" is a SD card not a Micro-sd

There is no class certified for 20MBps or 30MBps.
Class 10 = 10 MBps, thats why is 10.
So class 6 = 6MBps, class 4 = 4MBps, class 2 = 2MBps.
Class is equal to the minimum write speed in random spaces.

No, Class is the minimum write/read speed in sequential. The Lexar Class 10 32GB only does 0.018 MB/s in random write!
any more answer that might help me choose a good card ?
thanks
You need to figure out what you need in terms of speed and size, then how much money you want to spend. A 32GB class 10 card is extremely expensive, where a 16GB class 6 is around a third of that. I plan on using my Galaxy S II for holding all my music and some movies so I ordered this yesterday: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208573. Not too expensive and fast enough for most things.

as i said
i want 16gb but don't know which class and brand to take...
my main concern is recording video in 1080p
I have a class 10 Lexar 32GB Card.
You should buy a brand name card (Sandisk, Lexar, Kingston). I say that because there are IN GENERAL more reliable. There will be cards that are made by lesser known brands like Patriot and A-Ram but that does not mean they are any less reliable but more faults are reported for them than with Sandisk, Kingston or Lexar.
Having said that, my previous card was a 16GB Class 6 Patriot card. Worked awesome for a whole year and is still working in my friend's Desire (gave it to him and got the Lexar card for more space). In conclusion, don't buy eBay cards is what I'm trying to say.
Class? That's been debated A LOT. I got a class 10 and I can clearly see the benefit. Media Scanning is less than 10 seconds (mind you, I've got close to 38gb full in both internal and external cards), file copying is very quick and gallery files show up quicker, when I seek in a video file, it moves instantly (even with a 1080p movie).
It just depends on what you require. If you're slightly more patient, you can save 30-40 bucks by getting a 32gb class 2 card instead of a 32gb class 10 card.
Hope that helps. I recommend both Lexar and Patriot. Go for class 6 at least if price is not an issue.

from what i know higher class needed for recording full hd videos
because of the transfer speed
and again 32 is too expensive for me 16 will be good
but if 4 class of sandisk will do the job ? or i need to search class 6 on another brand ?

Sandisk website says 30mb/sec is only for read
Write is slower

how speed on write ?
Has anyone seen any speed tests on the Sandisk Ultra (Class 6). I'd be interested to see how it compares to their ordinary Class 4 card, and if the extra cost is justified.

How then? Is it worth buying?
If you do a search, the stated 30mb/s, is only obtained if you use a compatible sd reader, so far there is only about 10-15 readers on the market that will full ultilize the UHS 1 specifications, and the fastest one being from kingston and sandisk themselves.
Some cameras also supports UHS 1 to take advantage of the speed.
the figures are off my head, it was done a few months ago, and I have tested over 15-20 different sd cards, i will correct them later on if they are different.
using the kingston reader.
Sandisk
UHS 1
read 38mb/s
write 7mb/s
non UHS 1
read 18mb/s
write 7mb/s
other UHS 1 microsdhc available:
toshiba
UHS 1
read 41mb/s
write 20mb/s

I am using SanDisk Mobile Ultra 16GB, beforeit I used TDK class10 16GB
The write speed in Windows I feel that it's lower than TDK 16GB
but the quality of card I think that is better than TDK absolutely!
sandisk cards are much more stable, and the speed is stable too, while other brands the speed flutuates alot.
The Samsung micro SDHC cheaper then Sandisk and very good.

read my post further up the page.
I just bought the LG OPTIMUS LTE (aka NITRO HD), i would like to install a 32Gig MICROSD but i am not sure up to what class i can put in.
Will a CLASS 10 MICROSD card work?
If it works but only acts as a CLASS 4 then i will buy a CLASS 4 (cheaper) instead of paying a higher price for a CLASS 10.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
class 10 works fine and will have speeds of a class 10. Be sure to get a good brand like samsung since some class 10 drives sacrifice small file performance (just as important as max sustained speed) to get the high transfer speeds.
thanks, greatly appreciated
I am ready to purchase a new sd card for partitioning to use with MultiROM can anyone suggest anything? I know Amazon is known for fakes so I've got some work to do to find the best one. thanks for any help.
Amazon is not known for fakes. In fact, if you buy the Sandisk or Samsung versions you'll be fine. Plus it's Amazon and not a shady site. I think you're talking about another site. This is your best bet:

Of course it is known for fakes since not all products on Amazon are offered directly by Amazon.
So you want a microSD card for adoptable storage?
Pick one that has the highest random 4KB read/write speeds possible.
That is what's going to matter with adoptable storage as you're going to be launching applications from the SD card.
Here is a good place to start, J. Yang has reviewed a lot of microSD cards and posted all the speed numbers.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/review/R1AH0Q6B97V6W6?ref_=glimp_1rv_cl
For reference the HTC 10 internal storage is capable of roughly 10MB/s read and write speeds in 4KB random.
I would personally pick an microSD card with at least 4KB random read speed of 5MB/s.
For example the 200GB Sandisk Ultra does 3.8/1.6MB/s read/write in 4KB random.
I would probably try my luck with the 128GB Samsung Pro Plus, a reviewer on Amazon ran CrystalDiskMark on it and got 9/2MB/s read/write 4KB random speeds.
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MicroSDXC-Memory-MB-MD128DA-AM/dp/B01CO48M36
If you really want higher capacity, you could consider the 256GB Evo Plus from Samsung but storagereview's benchmark show it doing about 4.8/1.6MB/s read/write in 4KB random. Which isn't stellar but certainly not horrible, a bit better than the Sandisk Ultra.

Best place to buy HTC 10 microsd card
I'd recommend you head over to mymemory. They have a massive amount of genuine microsd cards for the HTC 10. I personally chose the Lexar 200GB 633x High Performance Micro SDXC UHS-I U1 Card - 95MB/s
