Which would be the better microsd card? - Galaxy S III Accessories

Hello,
Planning on getting a 32gb card for my s3 because I always find myself in the situation where I'm freeing up space! I have my eyes on these 3 cards on Amazon, any ideas which would be best?
SanDisk Ultra 32 GB microSDHC Class 10 UHS-1
Sony 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC R40
Samsung Micro SD 32GB Class 10 Plus UHS-I SDHC
I read that the Sony card performs much better than the SanDisk. The SanDisk gives around 10mb/sec of write speed, the Sony give 15 or so.
Sorry I can't put links to the Amazon items because I'm a new user and I need 10 posts at least.
Thanks guys,

Go with Sony or Samsung (make sure they are not fake). Sandisk is okay, but a lot of people have complaints of sandisk micro SD cards (mainly the 32gb) start acting up after 6 months of use, sometimes to the point it stops working.

I would go for a class4 or class6. Ive heard horror stories about them "ultra class10" and "plus class 10" sd cards and galaxy's. I have both sandisk class4 32gb and samsung class6 32gb and they perform well for what i need them to. Just my 0.02. Good luck.

i have a 32gb Sandisk ultra and is still running like a champ. Im even running the ExtSd2InternalSd mod which makes my phones runs is internal memory off my 32gb memory card. its $23 on amazon

I have a 32 gig card I bought from micro center and it works great for $20.

Get the samsung! I have personally used both samsung and sandisk, and maybe i was unfortunate that the sandisk was corrupted but the samsung is still working fine considering i got both around the same time.

Hmm on the other hand there are a lot of users that are happy with C10 cards. Maybe they fail after an extended period of time?
Thanks for the feedback guys,

To be honest, I am currently using a 16GB transcend class 4 on my S3 and i'm quite happy with it.
From what i gathered when purchasing my memory card, class 10 mem cards are better with DSLRs where write speed is very important.

Anyone try the new Adata UHS (Ultra High Speed) Mirco Sd?

I was looking at Newegg and came across an Adata UHS 32gb Micro Sd card. It is currently $59.99 and the Adata 32gb Class 10 Micro Sd was $49.99 (yesterday 12/12). I see that the Class 10 is now $61.99. Anyone try these new UHS cards out? Any speed tests? It is advertised as 30% faster than Class 6, but does not list any Class.

Cool. I just got 2 16GB UHS cards from Adata and as far as transfer goes I'm sure these are better.
Just upgraded to 32GB microSD.....
I learned a long time ago not all class10 sd cards are truly class10 read/write speeds. These cheaper cards tend to be slower
Anyone have a good line on a 32gb card?
I got mine for £11 of Amazon.co.uk. 16gb Class 10 microSD Samsung. works great in my defy.

Suggested Memory Card

Hey there, I've been using my Galaxy S2 for several months and never got to buying a memory card for it.
What you guys think is the best of the best?
How much GB?
Which manufacturer?
Model No?
What to look for when purchasing one on ebay?
Thanks!
just got a adata 32gb class 10, had a sandisk 32gb class 4 but its worth having a class 10 in it.
the R&W speeds when transfering data to pc is alot better and when taking pictures.
read 19.6mbs / write 13.2mbs with sdtools,had the same brand sd card before and was happy about the performance.
always use H2testw v1.4 just to be sure,it was the cheapest brand for its class locally.
32 Gb Microsdhc Class 10

I have a Kingmax microSDHC 32GB Class10 and I am very satisfied.
I tested it with SD Tools and got 9.1 MB/s writing speed, but in practice, it can go over 10 sometimes, but also can go lower to 3 MB/s and such.
I recommend this card, as is not very expensive either.
card
i have Kingmax 16g class6 its very good and very cheep
Buy any branded SD cards... But buy of high class bcoz now days they r becoming famous of high speed transcations...
Thanks guys, just bought a class10 32GB one cheers

Good choice! I also bought a class10 32GB SDHC from Samsung. It runs like hell! :victory:
I've got sandisk 16 gb SDHC class 4
and it runs like hell, so i cant imagine what class 10 is doing ....
but if you dont care spending another 10-20 bucks, then go for the class 10!
I have a 16GB Sandisk Micro SD Card. Its been working just great!
I paid 12USD.
Is it a big difference between @4 and @10? Worthy to pay more?

No, but class 10 is better (transfer, read speed)
It's Big difference. 4MB/s vs 10MB/s write speed is big diff.
Now i want to buy SanDisc 64GB SDXC class6, I heard that SDXC card works on SII.

I need a good 16gb micro sd?

I'm looking for a good quality or at least good performing 16sd card. I'm trying to find a good value, and I've found some class 10's on ebay for like $13, but I know there are variables such as what format they are, but I'm not too hip on what's best? I have a class 4 SanDisk 8gb, and it's time for something faster with more space for all of my backups. If someone maybe has an ebay or amazon link to something they've bought & have been pleased with that would be great! Thanks in advance.

You can grab a 32 gb from Wal-Mart for a little under $30. Why not go that route? I have 2 of them but use a 64 gb atm.

What class are they? Also, is there a certain format I should be sure they are? I have 4 8gb cards I've been moving from phone to phone forever?
Do you need a good one? Up to you, man.
**Good fun ribbing at your thread title. We call that an upswing in the sales world.**
Horrible way to close a deal, btw

Class 6 and reliable when I got mine.
I just ordered a UHS-1 30mb/s read speed, sandisk 32Gb micro sd card for 28 euro, for performance i would go with a class 10 or UHS-1 which operates as class 10s maximum speeds
Ideal for HD recording etc.
On a side note, any memory cards purchased off ebay should be tested for their true capacity, use a german software called H2testw, its gold standard for testing memory read/write speeds. And total capacity
One can not determine if the seller is 100% genuine or not unless its a credible company
It is possible to have a memory card stating its 32GB size for example, but in reality this card could really be only 8GB in size, a tiny program could be installed on a hidden partition and as you save more files to your card, once the 8GB limit has reached it overwrites your oldest files with the newly saved files to keep space, operating systems are fooled into thinking the particular card has a full capacity of 32GB which is not actually true

what class? also be careful with ebay cards a lot of them are fakes.
Grabbed my PNY 32 gig at best buy its a class 10 and has pretty good benches online for $40 right now. It isn't as good as a deal as ebay or amazon but with all the insane amount of counterfeit cards I really felt the still over priced on sale micro sd was a better option.

The worlds fastest micro sdhc is the sandisk extreme pro at 95mb/s, the largest size is 16GB at present, but the speed is useless in a phone, as no phone supports UHS 1 specification.
if it's to be used in a phone then the samsung 16GB class 10 is the fastest at write 21mb/s and read 24mb/s, largest size is 16GB.

Thanks Man! I never heard of sdhc before? Until Android supports it then it won't do much good for me, because I only use sd cards these days for transferring files from between phones, media storage, etc. I generally use usb drives for all my other portable storage needs, but I'll definitely be keeping my eye on sdhc for any advancements in compatibility.
My new sandisk class 10, is well over twice as fast as those old class 4 cards I was constantly shuffling around! This is great for transferring large rom files & movies to external memory.
Better go for SanDisk sdhc class6:thumbup::thumbup:

I meant sdhc sandisk extreme pro, and in the midst of screaming children I didn't finish what I was typing. Though I did not know that 64gb or larger is called sdxc? Is that why it seems they have to be formated differently out of the box or ppl tend to have issues when using them with Android?

I know, I wish I would have waited. I just bought a 16gb on sale at Costco for $15 a couple weeks ago. These are cheap enough to buy another one, but I won't use 16gb anyway so it would be a waste for me to spend any money at all on one. Hopefully some people can benefit from this deal though. :good:
