Hello Everyone,
I am interested in see how different micro SD cards perform with the Note 2. Does any one know what data speeds the Note 2 will support via micro SD? Is it worth waiting for the samsung high speed micro SD cards or is the Note 2 the limiting factor?
I am particular interested in Sandisk Ultra 64GB and Sandisk Extreme Pro to see if the Note 2 is able to utilize a faster card.
Please post any microSD benchmarks you have from the Note 2, thank you.

For day to day use, you will see no difference on Class 6 or 10 ... if you plan to copy/move large files or music files on a regular basis, then maybe a little ... Will definitely not affect any performance like Camera app, etc.
And I still prefer 32GB Class 10 for now.
64gb C10

there's no such thing as too large of a mem card,
if u have the money then go for the 64gb C10
Does the Note come with a card already installed? I just ordered this morning but have 32Gb SanDisk. I was going to get 64Gb SanDisk and leave 32Gb in my Motorola Photon. If Note comes with card already installed, if lesser I will put that in Photon and sell it

hi,
no,i got my note 2 out of box with no sd card.Had to use my own.
good luck
Class 6 and Class 10 write speed in Note 2 won't be a big difference.
I found Note 2's external memory controller write speed capped at around 10-11MB/s
But for read speed, it will be a BIG difference.
I am using Samsung 64GB UHS-I Pro micro SD.
Having like 55MB+/sec read speed.
with my old Lexar 32GB Class 10 only got 13MB/s read speed.
So, if you concern of read speed, get fastest card you can afford.
if your main concern is write speed, get a class 6 or class 10 would be fine.
And don't get SanDisk ultra. it's known to have problem with Note 2.

How much for that card? and I have NEVER had issues with SanDisk Cards? I can get the Ultra for $59.00 on Amazon!

I bought mine in Hong Kong for USD 95.
It's expensive yeah but it's the fastest 64GB micro SD you can buy.
It's good for you that you don't have problem with SanDisk Ultra but you can search for Note 2 + SanDisk Ultra.
It has a known problem, after awhile of use or the disk capacity reached certain amount.
Sometimes it will unmount the card or even damage the files in the card.
You can only re format the disk to solve the problem.
MANY people reported this problem. I don't know maybe trigger rate is not 100% but still not recommended.
Darkinners, thanks for your responds and suggestions (which I took and did a search, then some research!)
1. All of these complaints on SanDisk were about the 32Gb Card, not the 64Gb card. All the 64Gb comments were good.
2. The people with issues (both 64Gb and 32Gb) had formatted the card at exFAT, not SDXC. Mathamatically, I can pretty much figure out a.) why it will not write files over 4Gb and b.) why the 64Gb exFAT crashes after it fills over 16Gb! (Think about it, SIII is desinged to read/store 32Gb, not 64Gb even though it will format exFAT. And as for the kid whos computer would not read the 64Gb exFAT, i bet he has 32-bit machine?
3. All complaints were from Europe and blamed on a bad batch of cards (it happens). The one happy individual I saw got his card from Amazon, which is a ligit website. Just because the card says SanDisk, does not mean it actually SanDisk. Cheap forgien vendors use this lable to make them look legit?
4. The card you mentioned and the SanDisk are priced about the same, $59.99USD. I will get SanDisk and format either in phone or my laptop as SDXC and play for awhile. If it piss me off, I will return it!
Again, thanks for your input and suggestions!

What's wrong with Sandisk? I use a Sandisk Ultra 32 GB class 10.. Works great?

You will soon find out after you fill the card around 18 gb... the card keeps dismounting and remounting. .."sd card damaged" messages and then ultimately the card dies. ..
Happens on s3 and note 2.
So if you have 32gb SanDisk ultra sdhc cards... don't fill it beyond 16gb...
Unfortunately it is true

If this is true, then I am in for a surprise as I have filled around 15GB
In France Amazon stopped selling sandisk cards, they're investigating as many users report the death of the card after 3-4 month of use.
It may just be some defect cards behind other good ones, but if I were you I'd by a Samsung.
I bought a sandisk 64 Go SDXC a month ago, it's working fine for now but there's one thing I'm sure : I won't put important files on it without a backup somewhere else ...
I have a SanDisk 64 c10 with 22 gig of mp3's, 15 gig of movies and a few hundred photos and it's been working fine for months.
I am using Samsung 64GB Pro UHS-I on my N7105
The read speed is excellent
But the write speed won't be much difference than other Class 10 or Sandisk UHS-I
The write speed is a little bit faster than my old Lexar Class 10 32GB
Write:
Samsung 9.7MB/s VS Lexar 6-7MB/s
The read speed is A LOT faster.
Read:
samsung 64GB 58MB/s VS Lexar 10MB/s
This test , my Samsung 64GB is at 70% capacity used(mainly MP3s and apple lossless files)
It would be even faster if the used capacity is lower.
So the verdict is, if you really NEED this fast, like faster media scanning.
Then pay a little more get the fastest card available.
If you don't, any Class 10 cards would be fine.

Eh, take the bad reviews with a large grain of salt. I have just under 30 gigs used of my 64 gig Sandisk card and it's working just fine.
I say buy whatever is priced right for you. If it fails, send it back.
Not very hard at all.

Yeah I am using this one, It's really fast! and no problems so far.
a little bit pricier though.
I bought mine in Hong Kong for USD 76
While Sandisk 64GB UHS-I is around USD53 in here.
i have 32 gb scan disk .kingmax 4 class. no problem at all almost 6 months
Note 2 is not released 6 months back. ..how come you are using the card for 6 months on note 2?
Remember I am not saying San disk has bad cards. .. the Combo of s3 or note 2 with ultra sdhc 32gb SanDisk cards alone have this problem

Samsung galaxy Tab S 800 Europe 16Gb wifi model supports suitable 128Gb cards. Don't see a Samsung genuine card, plse has anyone successfully used aan aftermarket 128Gb card - which?
Samsung make 2 high-speed 64Gb UHS-1 cards, the MB-MGCGB and the (apparently faster) MB-MG64B. Please anyone used either or know the max speed supported by the Tab S?
many thanks

I have only used Sandisk 64GB and 128GB. Both formatted FAT32. Both work well.

I am using 128GB from Sandisk. Can use it out of the box but reformatted with the Tab S just to play safe.
As far as I know, Samsung sd cards I've seen are only up to 64gb and I don't see any 128gb. I suggest you get a SanDisk one and don't go for any class A ones.

Run a h2testw to determine if the card is legit, let me guess you got it off ebay? If so, you can report it counterfeit if the test comes back bad.

Hmm, I've just bought an official Samsung 64gb class 10 and videos don't play well, some mp4s work, MKV dont and AVIs stall.
The same videos on a Kingston 32gb class 4 play flawlessly, all of them.
Really confused...
Hi, I was thinking about expanding my device memory via micro sd card and of course i aimed for 64GB BUT then I asked myself "hey, how about 128GB? great idea!". So here's my question: have anyone tried 128GB card in our S3 Neo?
It wont work ... s3 neo only supports up to 64GB
I am using 64GB
Works perfectly

Galaxy S3 Neo supports up to 64GB MicroSD card :/
Quick tip: If you're going to buy your SD card online beware of fake cards !!!
I think it can handle it because my old phone only supported 32 GB and I inserted my 64 one and after a short time I could usw it normally so it should work too.

Buy in online store, test SD card and return it if it does not work. If you live in EU i think you have 14 days to contact, return and get refund from item.

I tried. It won't work. It only see card and see it is 128 gb but you can't use it. Every time when you going to do something on your SD you will see notification with mistakes
