I've been trying to buy some sd cards for my phone and my sisters and I've seen some say class 4 class 10 etc... So what's the difference between classes? I've noticed that the higher the class the higher the price is it just quality or what?

I'm pretty sure the higher the class the faster the writing speed is.

Its been generalized already basically, But I would avoid Class 2 & 4. If you can get 6 or 10, The bigger the card or if you know there will be more photos, movies, etc on it 10 will be the way to go. I've had ever C2/4 Die on me within 3 years from adata, & sandisk awkwardly.
I got a Samsung class 10 on ebay actually in march for 14 bucks....so prices are going down (I guess we all have same idea of looking on ebay first for deals...)

It will work but since the standard came out after the phone went into production, you probably aren't going to utilize the full speed.

Like Right now I have a Sandisk 32GB class 6 and it works pretty fast...
I just thought that it might work faster with that memory?
What you guys suggest me?
Is it worth it to buy it? Should I buy it or should I just keep the class 6 I have?

What's the price difference?
If you do a lot of writing, it would be worth the upgrade in going up the class grade.
If you are writing once and forgetting about it, you don't need a fast class rating because all that means is write speed and not read speed. Just about any card reads about as fast as each other, or similarly enough to not make a big difference.

And today I saw a video of a guy putting a 64GB Sandisk to his SGS2 and it was working.... the phone actually read the card.....
How is this possible????
Cuz according to GSMarena.com SGS2 can use only up to 32GB ???
So how's this possible???
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
64GB cards didn't exist when the phone was spec'ed out so they listed the current max at the time, 32gb. I don't see why 64gb cards wouldn't work, as the interface didn't change too much when going to the SDXC specs.
128gb would probably work too if they made those.. but that's my guess.
UHS-1 is also one of the 'new' standards. It's an extension of the SDHC 3.01 specs.

If your not switching your sdcard with your internal one then I doubt you will notice a difference between the 6 and 10 since all apps are stored on the phone.

There is an extremely noticeable difference if you are copying files from your computer. I am always copying a lot of video to and from my card and a 66% increase in write speed saves me a lot of time.

im using a sandisk ultra 64gb sdxc class 10($50) reformatted to fat 32(for TWRP) in 1 note2 and a sandisk 32gb class 2($20) in the other and the write speed when copying videos from my PC is virtually identical......(fast)...is this due to the reformatting?
As the title says. I would like to know if SD cards affect gaming. In this case, specifically the difference between a class 10 and class 4 one.
Class 6 is optimal for gaming I am using class 4 and its not so good especially with swap.for swap I will go with class 10.

Yes. After I replaced Sony stock SD Card everything seems to be faster. In some games it's a huge difference. This works only on games that are on SD card of course.

Ok, the thing is -
Class 4 = $42
Class 10 = $76

Where are you getting your sd card from on Amazon a class 10 32 gb only costs 20-30 dollars
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
Class 10 is teerrible for gaming. You want better read speed then write speeds. Class 10 are only good in cameras and camcorders and it is marketing gimmick
It would only inprove loading times with bigger (20mb+) games.
Unless you use swap to get additional (swapped) ram then hungry resourceful apps would be quicker

I had been looking for a 64gb microSD card to work with Android and this one on Rakuten went down to $44.99 with free shipping about a month ago(it's back up to $56.97 right now): http://www.rakuten.com/prod/sandisk...pacity-microsdxc-1-card-retail/230825299.html
If you look for these cards on Rakuten, usually a few days later you will get an email from them (assuming you're logged in to their site)...like Amazon does saying something to the effect "We've noticed you were looking at these items"...and they had dropped the price for me to $44.99. I jumped on it. So keep your eye on this one. I've had it installed in my rooted Xperia r800x and it works great - I've got it loaded with 48gb used so far. No lag playing games 99% of the time. I've had a couple games lag because I had some other process running in the background which I force closed. The launcher takes a couple seconds to load but that's probably because I have so many games loaded on it(from "A Space Shooter" to "Zombiewood" with some "Fifa12" and "MC4" inbetween. I hope this helps.
I have a 32gb class 4 SD and in all the time i have used it on my PLAY its been good enough for gaming, but the only gaming I do is through emulators so I can't say it its good for gaming on more advance android games...

If you have a micro center nearby, just get their store branded one. I paid 19.99 for a 32gb class 10 with a walk in exchange / lifetime warranty. Best store in the world lol.
Works great, speed as advertised, and best of all its an actual brick and mortar location. Name branded ones cost twice as much and have like a 1 yr warranty. Easy choice if you ask me

I have a 32gb Samsung class 6 and a 64gb Sandisk class 10, both are the ush1 or whatever it is. The Samsung one is so much faster! And not that the 64 had more stuff on it, Samsung was fastest even when it was packed full of stuff. I personally am not pleased with the Sandisk performance.
Can anyone recommend me a 32gig micro sd card? I recently purchase this POS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA26X0PJ1516 from newegg and I'm pissed off at how bad it is. It is advertised with amazing write and read speeds but is nothing near that! It maxes out around 6.6 MB write and 10MB Read speed, WTF. I'm in the process right now for getting a refund and want to get a reliable SD that does not lie about it's speeds. Thanks
Go for the sandisk one. Or if speed is what you want go for there extreme 16 or 32 GB more expensive but boss overall

I ended up buying this card by GSkill. It has a lifetime warranty which works awesome even if your card doesn't. Google searches found that they have the best replacement turn around and processing.

Does it really matter on the class, I have always been confused by that.
Yeah as each class gets higher, it means the read and write speeds get faster. Class 2 is the lowest. Class 10 is the fastest. And there's
UHS 1 which is faster then class 10

Yeah it has to do with something relating to 32gb. anything above 32gb has to be formatted diffrrently? I can't remember the exact details about it.
64gb is crazy amounts of space. I only use about 15-20gb. But I've seen some of these apps in the play store go up to 1gb now which crazy for an app.
