You can get a Class 10 PNY 16GB from Play.com for £16.99.
For use in the SGS2 I wouldn't recommend going any lower than a Class 6, especially if you intend on using the HD camera & media playback.

There you go. I was planning on getting a 32GB Class 10, but the cheapest I could find one was around £70, which is ridiculous value when you think about it. An extra £50-odd for an extra 16GB. I ended up just buying that PNY one and I'll upgrade to a 32GB when they drop in price.

would that free delivery be outside UK too? (Australia)

a review on play.com about the micro sd-card.

Not class 10 speed
Cockran | 13/04/2011 | See all Cockran's reviews (1) »
I bought this card to use with my SGS, wich it does, but the speed is just between 3 and 4 Mb/sec so, far from being class 10 I would say. My humble SD 8Gb class 6 is faster than this one.
Overall, it works but it is slow.

hmmmm! could that be true even tho there is 5 other good reviews

I actually tried to order it from Italy.
When I tried to check out, they asked me to change the expedition address since this item cannot be sold outside UK.
I even tried to find some options to pay the expedition, but there were none.

i send them an email... waiting to see what they say about shipping outside UK.

maybe this thread should get moved to Accessories and topic corrected to MEMORY CARD

Maybe this helps a few here...
I have bought this card at amazon.de
http://www.amazon.de/Lexar-microSDH...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1304015785&sr=8-1
At the time of my purchase, it cost me 52.98€ plus 4.90€ shipping (in Germany). It's now somewhat more expansive. Edit: I can't run any tests, because while I ordered it on saturday it just got shipped today.
It has some good reviews:
http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=13305
http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Lexar-32GB-Class-10-microSDHC-Memory-Card-Review_id2674/page/2
A lower class card from SanDisk or Transcend would have cost the same. 16GB cards retails for 23€ from reputable sources. So I paid an extra 10€ for the ease of double space without exchanging any cards or carrying a second.

Those who have ordered this or are interested in doing so might want to check this out:
Search "pny-16gb-micro-sd-memory-card-class-10-16-99-play-note/924009" on google and click the first link. I can't post links yet.
Apparently some people have recieved unbranded cards which aren't as fast as advertised and that sometimes have died very quickly.

I will be testing my 32GB Class 2 Sandisk card in mine when I get it to see whether its up to snuff. There is a lot of misinformation out there around Class speeds and the effects in your phone - Class 2 is sufficient to encode and decode 720p, and therefore sufficient for nearly all in-phone use-case scenarios, question is whether its enough for 1080p media.

Let us know how the class 2 performs in your tests. I take loads of videos so the card must perform good with 1080p. Im gona wait till i recieve this 16gb, hopefully il get a branded one. Later on when class 6 or class 10 32gb cards become cheaper il purchase one

I just received this card in the post so I thought I'd give this a bump and let you know the speed test results from it.
Tested while card had over 8GB of data already on it, and directly inside the SGS2 as I figured considering it's being used in there it might have been a fairer result that way.
I'm quite impressed with it to be honest. Not quite class 10 speeds but pretty damn close. Now we just have to wait to see if it'll crap out in a few months time.

That is class 10 speed. Class 10 denotes that it has at least 10MB/s write speed. Which your picture denotes.

Any idea of why I can't buy that microsd from play.com? I'm from Italy and it states that I have to change my delivery address.. Even if the price is in euros..

Class 6 32/64 GB MicroSD – Where to buy?

I am looking for class 6 32/64GB microSD card at good prices..... If u guyz can share link to sum website where i can purchase it and tht ships internationally. (No Ebay)
PS: Why Sandisk class6 Cards so expensive for no reason?

May I ask why you specifically want a Class 6 and not a Class 4 (generally quicker) or Class 10 (quicker for large transfers only (unless you get a very good one))?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

edanfalls,
Class 4 has a lower transfer speed (than Class 6 and above) for both small and big files.
Class 6 is a "golden middle" between low (<6) and high (>6) Class cards - fast Class card for entry Class card price.
Nice choice!

Yes, for sequential low-queue-order reads. This is mostly irrelevant for real-world usage.
Class 10s are usually actually slower in real applications. Of course, if you want the extra speed for simply transferring files, then a Class 10 will be better for you (which is why I stated that Class 10s are quicker for transfers in my first post).
There are some Class 10s which perform better than Class 4s with random high-queue-order reads and writes, but these aren't typical Class 10s and cost a lot more.

site everything but stromboli.com i ordered friday afternoon for a 32gb class 10 sd mem card 45$ for my G Note and recieved monday plus it had a card reader thing i put the sd card in then put it all in my printer an print away plus a crusier drive that i put sd into an connect up to usb very highly rated company in PA on both amazon an ebay an thier own site.

I tried to be on topic - I looked for best Class 6 prices, and they're more expensive than Class 10s that outperform them in every area. This is why I questioned why it has to be a Class 6.

Well no reputed manufacturer makes class10 at the moment. The ones tht makes are having shaky performance and data errors within a few months.
If one needs a fast card the safe route is to go with class6 cards... and i want it coz i intend to watch 1080P movies on my phone and it requires transfers as well....
PS: Maybe i will get a class4 card tommorow, which is easily available and i hope it wont lag for any of my use.

Verbatim, Kingston, Lexar... these are all reputable brands and are selling Class 10s.
Mostly they all use the same flash manufacturers anyway.

The only 64gb cards ive seen are these "Sandisk 64GB Mobile Ultra microSDXC Memory Card, up to 30MB/s read speed" I just bought one for $175 from here so not cheap but I wanted more storage for my note. They will get cheaper once more 64gb cards get released but sandisk is the best brand for SD cards.
http://www.scorptec.com.au/computer/42572-sdsdqy-064g-u46sa
I have seen them online for $165 but I only buy sdcards from people I trust and these guys have a shop near my house where I get most of my computer stuff.
Not sure where you live but this is from Australia so you may want to check if they ship OS. I would never trust private sellers for any SD cards as theres just way too many fakes around.
Here is a speed test I did on the card using win7x64 with USB 2 which could be why I don't get much over 20mb/s with any of my cards.

Going by this test it would be a class 6 but they dont have a class rating anywhere apart from 30mb/s read speed which I dont hit. Just transferring over my 32gb cards data to this and am getting a speed of just over 7MB/s so id rate it a c6

Thanks! I was interested in the 64GB card myself but couldn't find any reviews.
Is the Note totally compatible with SDXC?
Also, I remember reading somewhere when it was released a few months ago that it is officially a Class 6, so your rating is spot on
The random 4k write performance is excellent, that makes my mind up.

For those in Europe interested in the 64Gb microsd card, Amazon Germany has it for sell at 90 Eur.
I just brought one for £82 inc delivery, should get here this time next week.
Since a class 10 32Gb card cost £40, 64Gb class 6 card for £80 is not a bad price if you need the storage space.

I've got a Sandisk 64GB Mobile Ultra microSDXC Memory Card in my Note and it works as expected.
I've tested a Kingston 32GB microSDHC Class 10 Memory Card which also worked perfectly fine.
I suggest for mobile usage you get the mobile ultra. The random 4k write speed kills the standard class 10 cards which were optimised to do quick sequential writes only.
I got my Sandisk 64GB Mobile Ultra microSDXC from a store in Australia called Scorptec but they are available all over. look up amazon, etc.. (can't post links because of new member)

Class 10 on Amazon very fast and good

You guy's are the luckiest bastards on the planet! How do you like the Glorious Galaxy Note? I know I'm not on topic but I'm rolling with an Atrix 4g. The Galaxy Note blows my damn mind!!!!!!!

Recommend me a good 32Gb sdcard

hi all...
exuse me if my english is bad.
Im planning to buy Samsung S2 I9100note 3 and i want to store heavy 3d games(like N.O.V.A 3,GTA san andreas,Asphalt 8...etc)but the internal storage isn't enough for me,so im gonna buying 32Gb sdcard to move the games data with [Directory bind]app,i know the sdcard r/w speed is slower than internal storage so it might effect the performance of gaming(i guess),so which SDCARD should i buy?and does the sdcard r/w speed matters for gaming(while playing games on sdcard not the internal storage)???
Note:im not gonna buy it online cuz i don't own credit card .
Im just hoping not breaking the forum rules.
Regards ,

WTF Perforance Range: *(Max capacity is only 16GB) **(Quite sure you won't get these speeds on the SII or any other android device)
Class 10 Speeds up to 95MB/s

720p mode Normal – 9 Mbit Fine – 13 Mbit Super fine – 17 Mbit
Both modes have audio at 48000 khz at 192 kbit

Also for those, who are interessted, my site will be soon updated for an Android section.

As you see here the 1080p recording at superfine mode require 30MB/s so does that means I have to buy the class 10 with 30MB/s speed to prevent issues?and what is the price of the sdcard class 10 30MB/s at your local shop?

Adding some:
SDSDQU-064G-U46A - should be or should have been the monster but most pre March 2013 can become corrupted or defective as XC are exFat and SII (if not on CM rom) is using FAT32 and you should reformat it to FAT32 (do not use WIndows system format!!!).
Personal story on that one in a very short manner: It just died on me 2 days ago after being used from the September 2012... I have no remedy for it, it's simply dead. I'm in the middle of a dispute with Amazon and from Monday with SanDisk too so to get reimbursed if they're not able to guarantee the subst. card will be from a new batch and with an upgraded ROM chip!
Said that, I have an old class 4 (I think, but unsure as it's from my wife's old Nokia XM5800) 4GB Nokia card mounted now and 720P videos are registering without a stutter, I haven't tried 1080P.
Screens: On the left is a SanDisk Ultra Mobile SDXC class 10 UHS1 64GB and on the right is a crappy Nokia class 4 4GB 2008 card, notice the (not) "great" difference??? Last screen is showing my current layout of the distributed memory on my SGS2. Remark: No apps/games are moved to any other memory but everything is installed on main and I have a total of 254 installed apps and 76 of preinstalled phone apps - as reported by Clean Master. That include 3 SatNav apps with respective maps.

So, at the end of the day: Even many new cards are classified as ultra giga fast you won't be able to see that speed on SGS2.
Advice: Go only for genuine products of a well known brands and retailers you can really make sense of your warranty if it breaks. I guess Pro class HC of 32GB would suffice and choice is vast. Samsung is selling 32GB Plus series at around 22-25 EUR in Europe. I just ordered a Samsung MB-MGBGB/EU Pro 32GB class 10 UHS-1 for 34 EUR so I have recording capacity for the New Year's Eve and night, until I solve the issue with SanDisk and get substitution or reimbursement.
Cheers.

Be sure it starts with SDSDQUA (see that A there, it's important) if you're onto SDXC 64GB version of SanDisk, otherwise you're risking (like most of us did). These are exFAT preformated so bear that in mind. On the other hand if you're getting the 32GB ver (same product code start like I indicated for the bigger one), they're all SDHC, FAT32 preformated, so you should be fine.
See here: http://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/ultra-class10-for-android/
If not... opt for something else. I'm satisfied (for now) with Samsung 32GB Pro card I took to replace a dead Sandisk 64GB. It tested at 15,10MB/s write and 18,89MB/s read speed on the phone.

Exfat is not compatible on most Rom/kernels I know that stock Roms can read it. If you are using a AOSP based Rom you might need DorimqnX kernel

[Q] Micro-SD speed capability

Tried searching, but coming up empty. Maybe I should have put this in the accessories section.
I need to buy a new micro-sd for my G3 I just got yesterday. I would love to pop for the 128gig Sandisk, but 120 bucks would allow me to buy five 64 gig cards. The only card I have right now is an older 8gig card coming out of my HTC Evo LTE so I definitely want something new and bigger.
Is the G3 physically capable of taking advantage of the cards with the 90 mpbs read/write rates of the higher end cards like the Samsung Pro series? Or would I not see any advantage over the slower 45 mbps cards like the Evo series? I know either card would work, but if the LG G3 is only capable of read/write speeds of 20-30 mbps, the faster card doesnt seem to be worth the money. I think I saw one test where somebody was getting around 19mbps of read/write speeds with one of the Sandisk cards capable of 90 mbps, so this tells me its not worth it to get a faster card for double the money.
This will store pictures and music and the occasional video so nothing crazy as far as use.
64 gig Evo series is 25 bucks, 64 gig Pro series is 50 bucks. The money doesnt matter to me, but if I cant use the capabilities its a wasted 25 bucks.

No, the G3 won't be able to take advantage of the UHS-I speeds. You'd have to remove the card from the phone and use a compatible USB3.0 card reader to see those 90MB/s speeds.

I bought a microsd 128gb for $18..i copied over 1000 songs to my phone in less than 30m

Are those graphs showing the built in memory speeds or a Micro SD card speeds?
So basically it looks like it wont be able to take advantage of the ultra fast 90 mbps cards so I should just save my money and get the mid level 45 mbps card. Done deal.

Yes that is showing the internal memory and not the micro sd. Get the cheaper version. If taking 4k record it to internal then transfer to external

It's showing internal, which may be slower than the Samsung Pro cards. I thought the G3 was UHS-1 capable Also, I'd like to know how that guy tested it. If he started loading some mkv videos than OF COURSE it was slower than advertised. Storage always is slower than advertised speeds at transferring compressed media.
On another note, it's MBps/MBPS which is very different than mbps op

I guess those +300 people did too. how is it fake when it shows its full capacity?

You all got fake 128GB microSD cards for $18. Yes.

what are the cons?

I seen that 128gb for $18, and I thought that was a bit fishy... I just got the SanDisk 128 for $115...if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is...

he is right. it is fake. I already maxed it out. 8gb total. these fake 128gb microsd are hacked to show 128gb but they are really 8gb. just left him a neg feedback. oh well lesson learned and now time to shop for another 128gb microsd..again. this time I will go to bestbuy.

I have a 64mb Samsung pro card. measures 72MB/sec write and 79MB/sec read in the side of my HP laptop. manages 20MB/sec write and 77MB/sec read in my phone. Internal memory definitely has the edge with 56MB/sec write and 221MB/sec read. using A1 Sd Bench.

I picked up the Samsung Evo 64gig card today at Best Buy for 30 bucks. Working like a champ.
SD Card Tester wont run for some reason.
A1 SD Bench says 42.48 read and 17.38 write which is in line with what this card should do.

The lowest a 128GB microSD has ever been is $99 a while back, regular retail is around $130. As of now, SanDisk is the only legit manufacturer. Never buy such stuff from eBay, and definitely not at such a low suspicious price of $18.
Sorry you got burned.

I'm happy to spend more if G3 can works fine and take advantage with the UHS-I at 30/95.
Is this is to confirm that the LG G3 is able to take advantage of the Micro-SD UHS-I speeds. W:30/R:95-Mbps............right?
Please advise, If I store a lot of Hi-Res images [3-5Mb/image] and some HD video files. Is it worth to go for UHS-I 30/95 or 30/30 is enough?
I'm thinking of
1. Toshiba EXCERIA 32G/Class-10/UHS-I @ 30/95Mbps. @ US $31.29
2. Toshiba 64G/Class-10/UHS-I @ 30/30Mbps @ US $32.59
Thnaks :")

I would say so. just performed a test copy of approx 267MB and below are some screenshots showing speeds.
first is Samsung pro 64MB to internal, second is internal to Samsung pro. it was peaking at over 30MB/sec to the SD card when copying photos earlier.

I wouldn't go for the 128GB just yet. The write and read speeds on them are horrendous!! I got a 64GB with 80 write and its fast as hell!
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I found that increasing the SD card cache using the "Kernel Tuner **root**" app increases performance. setting to 4096 seems a good level. very slight change between there 6144, though no improvement setting it higher than 6144 in my testing.
SD card manages 33MB/sec write and 78MB/sec read.
internal improves to 70 write and 263 read too.
I noticed that ram tests were faster today. not sure if related to more free RAM, will test again later.

What is the SDcard compatibility for the Zenfone 2 : I know that zenfone 2 can use microsd card at less 64 GB and what is the format (SD, SDHC, SDXC) ?
Thank's

I have the Samsung 64GB EVO SDXC and it works fine.

Thank Caebron, since my post i buy a evo

I was also interested in the Zenfone 2's support for SDXC cards. I did a quick search and found that a guy had picked up this SanDisk 128 GB card and it worked on his Zenfone 5, and then on his Zenfone 2. Just as I was about to order it, I saw there was a newer version, so opted for that instead. Well, I'm kicking myself now, because while it does detect in my phone, periodically it unmounts and remounts again. Ugh. I don't think I trust it to use in installing Cyanogenmod on my phone, nor trust it for anything else I guess.
Hopefully I can return the one I got, and I guess I'm gonna order the previous/older version (still 128 GB).
Has anyone else had any luck with 128 GB SDXC cards?

I use a Micro SDXC 64gb (Sandisk, the same as the first post in this threat) and work brilliant. Very fast and good. Dont know about 128gb but read that some have tried and work good also.

I use a 128gb Samsung EVO in my Zenphone 2 with no trouble.
Never been unmounted by itself or had restarts because of the sd card.
A thing to remember is that though 99% are good, unfortunately there will always be the odd lemon out there that doesn't work properly and leaves a sour taste in your mouth when it fails...

I have the Samsung EVO+ 128GB since 2 weeks in my ZF2.
SuperZen 2.20.40.90 and everything works perfect and very fast.

64gb Sandisk works good for me.

I ended up just going with a Samsung 64GB EVO Class 10 Micro SDXC. It works great; have had no problems at all.

I've got exactly same problem with same type of card.
Latest OTA update fix that problem in 100%. No more issue with 128GB memory card

I picked up a Samsung Evo 128gb card from Ebay. I have formatted it and am having problems with it. A lot of the mp4s that I had on the internal storage will not play when copied onto the micro sd card. I am using mx player and when I click on the video I want to watch, I get this message," Can't play this file". When I open settings and then storage, the card is recognized and shows 125gb. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could try? all of the mp4s I am using worked on the phone and my N7 previously. I am thinking I might have to reformat the card. I used a usb adapter and not a card adapter, so I might have to pick one up. Thanks.

Do a quick test on the net for a windows app called H2Test. It will tell you exactly how big your sd card really is and if you have a fake. Might be as you got it off ebay, its a simple thing for guys to make the card say it is actually bigger than it is and rip you off. I tend to steer clear of ebay sd cards unless the seller has been there for years and doesn't want to loose their account, even then they could've been hacked. They look pretty close too but you can tell the difference side by side with a real sd card.
If it is real, try formatting in the phone but be advised that the zenfone 2 does format FAT32 giving a 4gb limit to file size.

I did the test as you advised and it turns out that it was in fact a crap card. I messaged the seller, Ebay and Paypal yesterday. I had my refund a couple of hours later. today I picked up an Adata 64 gb class 10 card from NCIX. It works great.

Those old Ebay sd cards dtrike again... They're generally cheap but also generally crap...
Glad you got it sorted...
The 64 gb sd card should work in exFAT format but if you want the stock recovery to recognise it then you need it formatted FAT32...

Hello,
On ZE551ML 4gb ram is possible use a microSDXC 64GB Class 10, UHS-II U3?
thanks for answer.
bye : )

Hum... a question...

Hi! i am going to get the asus zenfone 2 ze551ml 4gb ram model with the intel atom Z3580 (2.3ghz), As you were talking about format in exFAT.. my question is, i want to see some movies on the asus, at 1080p resolution, so the movies have the same resolution BUT some files are more than 4gb... Do you know what its the better thing to do? change the format? I don't like to have compatibility issues.
I forgot to mention that the sdhc card is Sandisk 32GB class 10 and the asus is the 16gb model
Cheers!

If you want 1080p movies larger than 4gb then you'll need to format to exFAT... Not 100% sure if windows will do that as most of my cards now are 64gb+...
I have no compatibility issues with these cards, but I have a spare 32gb for flashing stock when needed...
