Whats the best Memory card for S3

I just got my S3 (United States) and and tried 3 (YES 3) Lexar 32 GB Class 10 cards and every one of them have failed. I called Lexar, they say to have my firmware upgraded. Went to Sprint and verified everything is fine with the phone. The cards won't work in other phones at Sprint Either. Before buying another card I'd like to know from you guys which one out there will work with no problems, speed, and size is important for me. I know I'll be using more memory than the 32gb in the future. I called Sandisk and they recommended their SDSDQUA-032G Ultra 32 Class 10 and said it would work. Sprint says they know the Class 6 works in the S3.
I'd like more than 32gb. and fast write & Read speeds.
Can I get some great recommendations from you before I buy another piece of crap. Two weeks now and I still don't have a working card. Lucky I have Amazon prime membership.

I use a 32gb Sandisk Class 10 SDHC Card, this thing works. Problem with anything bigger then 32gb is that you have to use sdxc and this is only really compatible in fat32 or exfat, for both you have to format the card before inserting into the phone.

Try the SanDisk 32gb Mobile Ultra UHS-1 because it's cheaper than normal class 10 Mobile Ultra and just as fast, and I've been using it a while with no problems.

I am quite happy with my Sandisk Ultra 64GB SDXC. No issues at all.

What do I need to format

I would like the larger size. What would I need to format the bigger size. I wouldn't have a problem with that if I had some detailed instructions.
Thanks.

Sandisc Ultra 64gb micro sd xc1
Sandisc Ultra 64gb micro sd xc1 was my choice and its worked well over the last 4 years. Its the phone that has bricked after Little use in October 27/2016. Changed the battery it needed it. Now its bricked.

I have a SanDisk but I was told that SanDisk aren't good for Samsung S3's

Hello,
I'd recommend the Toshiba Exceria memory card, either with 16, 32 or 64GB. This card is a class 10 card with UHS 3. Although the S3 can't use the full speed of the micro SD, this is a well working combination.

Has anyone tried 128gb sdcard ?
I plan to buy,
Transcend Premium 400X 128GB CLASS10 SDHC/SDXC UHS-1, and just wondering if it work

I'm using a 128gb card from lexar on it and works fine..
(mine's the i747m just to clear it up...)

I have the SanDisk 64GB ultra sdxc or whatever it's called. It works very well with no issues and I have 1,000+ pictures stored on it with about 30 videos.

Quick question. Would a SD card and adoptable storage on a ROM be a good solution for the Samsung device?

Yes, a SD card is always good, especially for backups

[Q] ready to by a sdcard

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.

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!

Sandisk MicroSD EXTREME

Does anyone have to use the device Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini - Card Sandisk MicroSD EXTREME?
The fact that my answer came from a corporation that Sandisk EXTREME cards are not suitable for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini:
We have checked and found out that your device Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini phone is compatible with the card 64GB Ultra micro SD, but not with the card SanDisk 64GB 80MB / s UHS-1 Extreme micro SD, for which you asked.

There have been reports that some users had issues with power consumption when using certain 64GB microSD cards.
I'm not sure if the line of cards are those you have specified but I doubt the device will be able to hit 80MB/s anyway so you would be purchasing an over-speced card for the phone.

card
its not the 64gb card version but i am using the 32gb extreme by sandisk without any problems?

The users were fine with the 32 but had issues with the 64. Not sure what's up

Tab 3 7.0 64gb SD Card Support

Hey All,
There are lots of mixed reviews about the support for Galaxy Tab 3 7.0. in terms for micro sd cards compatibility... Is anyone running a 64gb sd with no problems?
I am running a 16gb with no issues at all, however I have cheap 64gb which will not copy the correct data & corrupts most of the time...I believe this is due to being a rubbish quality/copy...
If there is anyone out there that is running a 64gb with no issues, please confirm the spec!
Thanks in anticipation.

The cheap 64GB card is likely counterfeit. It is probably a 16 GB card hacked to appear to be a 64 GB card. This happened to me. Bought a counterfeit Sandisk from an Amazon seller. It looked really, really, real...but I kept having issues and once the subject of counterfeits was brought to my attention, I noticed the packaging said Made in China while the card said Made in Taiwan - Sandisk doesn't make any SD cards in Taiwan. Before I realized that, I bought a cheap class 10 Samsung off of eBay, that was fake too. Buy from a reputable retailer. Google a Windows app called H2testw if you want to confirm whether your SD card is a 64 GB card.
I have a T211 and am using a 64GB card I bought at Fry's. After formatting it inside the tablet, it worked fine, although after I initially transferred ~37GB from my PC directly to the card, I put it in the tab, and from then on my PC recognizes the card as read only. But I can write data to the SD Card as long as it is inside the tab.

are 128gb cards supported?

microSD speed 4 Tab S

what is the speed of Tab S card slot?
I'm going to buy a microSD card and I don't know what speed should I take:
30, 50, 80 or 90 MB/s?
I don't care how fast I can copy files from PC. I just wonder what is the maximum speed of read/write by Tab S?

I dont unfortunatley have technical speeds of how quick it copies but i found that mine. Could happily copy 2GB files from internal to my UHS1 64GB sd card from samsung pretty quickly, within 1 minute.

So it is about 33MB/s. Class 10 is not enough.
So minimum Sandisk extreme?
http://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/

I guess depends if you can get a UHS-2 or 3 that a tab s can make the most of? Just used A1 SD Bench and got 30 MB/s write and 13MB/s read (edit. Other way round). It is a UHS-1 samsung micro sd card. Possibly a samsung EVO or SanDisk extreme.

I have the Lexar 64gb 600x micro sdxc class 10 UHS-I 90mb/s, I have had it about 4 months now and it was previously in my Samsung Galaxy S4. I have never met transfer speeds as fast on any other microsd I have used before, nor have I been met with such stability. I have one of these cards in my Samsung Galaxy Tab S for storing any media (books, music and movies) and haven't had any issues still. I also have another in my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 I which I play music from every single day.
As I said, I have had the card for a few months now, and I have used it in 3 different devices, all with outstanding performance. The origin SanDisk microsd cards I purchase (2x 32Gb micro sdhc ultra) I had to return 3 times before I had a reasonably stable working product. I am not dissing SanDisk nor promoting Lexar. I just want to share the experiences I have had recently.
I hope this helps. Message me if anyone has a question.

Can you make a speed test in A1 SD Bench and post results (Tab S)?

A1 SD test results.
The first picture is the test results from my lexar 64gb sdxc 600x UHS-I
The second picture is a comparison using SanDisk Ultra 32gb sdhc.
Testing device is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S (SM-T700).
