Basically, stay away from the cheap eBay auctions for them. You'll often get a fake-brand claiming to be SanDisk, but it's really not.
Stick with legit SanDisk or Transcend.

Amazon and Newegg have had some good deals.

AData has a true class 10 speed with 32GB. I use it on my Cowon J3 music player. It's very fast, faster than the Lexar Class 10 that I have.

Here's some...

I'm curious: where would we see the advantage of a Class 10 card on our phones? Outside of copying files to/from them faster, I'm not sure there's anything we're doing on them that would benefit from it. Anything concrete anyone can suggest that I'm not thinking of? The photos aren't anywhere high-res enough to require it, and the camera's not capable of taking them in a fast enough burst mode to need it, and I'm assuming even the 1080p video capture doesn't need it or Samsung would have had an * in their advertising to let us know. So that leaves me to assume I could probably save some money on a lower class and be just as happy...

So your saying a class 6 or 4 should be fine?

Would it affect flashing roms or running apps2sd?

Transcend cards are great. I use them in my dslr when i film. I can not be let down when im in the middle of a production.
Class 6-class 10 will be good enough for the phone. A class 6 16gb I've read has the best overall speeds
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Class 6 will do just fine. The extra expense of the Class 10 is not worth it right now. As a previous poster hinted to, the phone does not do anything fast enough to take advantage of the full Class 10 speeds.
It might help for initial file transfers if you transfer Movies to it or something like that, but how often do you really do that?

Okay Thanks... should be easier to find that lol. But I don't, I just like the best of the best p

I have also looked around the net quite a bit regarding this issue (is how I came to my conclusion above). One more thing I would like to add is to make sure you buy Retail or from a known good supplier to be safe ... like Newegg... not Ebay or Amazon.
Most quality brand name cards will perform their benchmark tests at or above their ratings. This is why Class 6 is good enough for our uses right now until something better than 10 drops and pushes the 10's down in price. (Look to the future whenever you can get a deal)
Here is Sandisk's information on classes:
http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/d...speed-ratings-(performance)-for-sd/sdhc-cards
I doubt the cameras on our phones are recording at more than 6MB/s.
I would love to see some stats on this though.. you know, in case I'm wrong.
(which I don't think I am)

It's not all about the class rating.
Nothing can beat the Sandisk cards on random read and write speeds.

I just bought 2 for 18.48 each..thanks for the tip!
As fast as this phone is, it doesnt matter what class card you use; also, just tweak the read ahead speed with rom toolbox or one of the other programs that tweaks that, and you will never know the difference between a class 4 and anything else...

Seems like a good deal. Might have to jump on a 32gb card in the next couple weeks. Don't think I will ever use that much space but I guess I could use it to put some movies and tv shows on my phone.

There's a bit of a delay with it, but I'm good to keep using my current sd card until this Class 10 bad boy arrives.
edit: also, this isn't the lowest price that the Class 6 version of the card has been. $50 from Best Buy several weeks back.

The package says Class 1? I didn't know they made 1, did they just leave the 0 off??

It's UHS-1 - Class 10.

That's a pretty good deal! i've been loading roms on the internal storage and the way it's going i'll run out of space! Debating between a 32 and a 64, price is just significantly different.

legit deal

Does anyone know which one would be a better buy for an SD card?

I know the second one isn't a class 10, but I'm not sure how much that matters or if the class 10 is worth an extra $15?

From working for Sprint and from personal experience, I've found that a Class 10 is better for taking pictures with the camera and for file transfers, but with your phone (especially this model), it would appear the most efficient way to manage your data would be to store media (music, videos, backups obviously) on the external sd, and to allowed internal storage to be used for taking pictures. If you do this, Class 6 is perfectly sufficient for media playback.
And if you're worried about your pictures being lost in the event of a phone catastrophe, Google+ or Dropbox or anothr of the auto-backup services you can use for free are perfect!

Cost $120 in Canada's Amazon .. I wonder how much more it would cost to ship it from the U.S ..especially for a lil chip.

I purchased the 64gb class 10. Looks like it will be here late July mid august..... so lame

SDHC Class 4 or Class 6 for XPlay?

Hey, im planning to buy a 32gb sdhc for my xperia play. I referred to this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150369
Well its kind of an old thread. Is Sandisk 32 gb Class 4 still good for xperia play specifically for games? Im still waiting for the stores to sell class 6 cards in my place.. they only have class 4 atm.. should i wait for class 6 or should just buy class 4? and which is better? Sandisk or Kingston?

I think its already been discuss in the accessories section. Might wanna look it up.

Kingston? You've got to be kidding me. :laugh:

Troll somewhere else. Saw you on alot of threads and 90% of the time you just troll around and even discriminate people out of nowhere. Filipinos like you are the reason why people think every Filipino guy suck. Grow some balls and be mature.

What do u need it for?? Gaming or fast file transfer?? Its already been explain in the link u gav n the thread i ask u to look up had already shows a few people running it for their own personal reason. I personally like sandisk. As for the class i'd go for class 6. It kinda balance out the gaming n the fast file transfer. But thats me.

uh. no. you can check out the thread i gave on the first post. If youre goin to use it for games, that's not recommended since its goin to lag alot.

I purchased a 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC card for just over $30 (USD) after shipping and it works great! Very fast and great price for the quality (make sure you buy it from the default seller "Amazon" because others MAY send out fakes but the real one is great.

WRONG!! Class 10 is VERY high transfer speed where as low numbers lag like s***
Trust me, I've wasted 20 bucks on a 32GB Class 1 SDHC card and it was so slow it's not even funny, and almost nothing could read the card either, out of 6 computers in the house AND a 3DS 1 computer could read it and the 3DS said that it was not fast enough and refused to use it at all. I don't know where you heard that high class cards lag but that's wrong as there IS a VERY NOTICEABLE difference in speed between the 8GB Class 2 the XPlay shipped with and a Class 10 card and the Class 10 is WAY faster.
Proof! and More proof!

Hav u tried any HD games yet?? I think the lag he meant is for gaming. Just curious.
Kindly Hit Thanks Button if i've help u in anyway.

Lag for any situation is EXACTLY the same based on the read/write speed of the micro sd card meaning games all lag if you have a low class card and are faster with a high class. The faster the read speed of the card the faster the game is regardless of the game.

Not bad! Although personally I would rather spend a little more and get 32gb in one card rather than having 2 to switch between. I have this card which is a pretty sweet deal! http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-SDSDQM-032G-B35A-microSDHC-32GB-Card/dp/B003HIWHN0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357931510&sr=8-1

got some weeks ago a 32gb class 10 (ums-1) micro sd card from sandisk, for my note 10.1, works flawlessly and is pretty fast. The price was 21,99€, what is actually pretty cheap here in germany^^

Yeah, there are. I remember back in the days I would buy fake chinese memory cards for my PSP. They were so incredibly cheap.
For my phone I want the real deal though, don't want to lose the pictures and the data, as for the PSP there were only ISO's on there.
(FYI; the fake ones still work, even after 7 years of which they were used constantly for 5 years)

I've got a Class 4 TDK 32GB one at the moment. Picked it up for 25 euros in a Media Markt here in Belgium, it was one of the best deals there was at the time.
Sucks that we have this extra 'Data Copy Tax' that makes storage so much more expensive in Belgium!
