Hi, I was looking for a New MicroSd card for my G4;
I already have a 32gb samsung Pro sd (U3, 90r/80w) which is really fast, but that space in not enough anymore for me.
I saw a 128gb Kingston sd (U1, 45r/10w) for 41€ (or 64gb for 18€), but that write speed makes me flinch :/
Is 10mb/s enough for smartphone use (photos are saved in it, rec. very few videos in FHD 30/60fps, music)?
For a future-proof experience, is better a 64gb U1 now and 128gb U3 in the future (when prices will drop - now is 1€/gb for Samsung pro+ cards)?
Thanks, have a good day.

10MB write is speed is very low for 128GB card! Don't buy it. Buy an U3 card if you will use 128GB high capacity. I suggest you to use 32 or 64GB untill you buy 128GB. But becareful. Research speed before you buy.

10 MB/s write speed is std on sandisk class 10 128GB or even 200GB.
It goes up to 40MB/s for the 64Gb sandisk extreme. Am also looking for a bigger capacity extreme card but its not available in my market as yet.
It's nearly time for the note 7 to be released where I'm from in Australia and all I can find is a maximum of 64gb versions. Quote from the Samsung website "So we gave the Galaxy Note7 spacious internal storage that starts at 64GB and also included expandable memory that can handle up to 256GB via microSD card" the key words "starts at 64gb" so does that mean there is a 128gb or higher version somewhere? I was hoping for a 256gb version and wack a 256gb card in it Haha.
Does anyone know what sizes are being released in Australia?
Cheers
There is only 64GB version for the moment... and a rumored future version of 128GB/6GB RAM for China only.
Curious what people are going to get if getting the new tablet. 64GB, 256GB or Unsure.
The pre-order promotion (free keyboard cover) in my country (belgium) only applies to the 64 GB model, so I voted 64 GB...
So maybe to help people with sizing... was just at the store looking at the 64GB display model.
So out of it, it had 35.3GB usable on the device, with.. roughly 7.5GB installed from apps and some promo video/images. So overall max of 42.8GB roughly.
Without a doubt, I am getting the 256gb version. I am replacing a failing tab s 8.4 with 16gb version. Currently with the games I play, I fill the internal storage very fast. And trying to use external storage really slows down the performance. So I would rather not run into that again in any way. Hoping this tab can also last me 4 years like the last one did.
Got the 64GB model after reallying thinking about it and took a chance. 52GB actually usable space! Whew [emoji3] Plenty for apps, and general storage. Videos and such on SD Card is good for me.

I got the 64GB version, I'm on the fence with this purchase, on the one hand it's a decent enough tablet. On the other hand, Dex needs to be fleshed out more, but is better than ANY chrome os laptop/tablet-hybrid I've tried.
Some Advice: If you go with Best Buy, get the insurance on it. I found out a few years ago with my Samsung Watch that one feature of insurance they don't tell you about is the ability to trade up. Meaning you can sell them your outdated device at the EXACT same price you paid for it, taxes included and it goes back to you in Store Credit. Meaning. Buy the 64GB now, turn it in for the 256 when it comes out, since it wasn't at my Best Buy and they inferred that it was coming at some unknown time. I live in Chicago.
in Canada, the 64GB is already priced ridiculously. the 256GB is the better "deal" but the price can't be justified given last gen specs.
IMO Samsung should have made a "standard" Tab S4 @ current specs, and then a Tab S4+ @ 256GB, 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 845, LTE.
I am based in the Netherlands and would like to purchase the 256Gb model, but it appears that the 64Gb model is the only one (initially) being released in the country.
I checked a few other European countries, but the same situation seems to apply there, too.
Does anyone know of a list of which models are to be released in which countries? I'm currently out of the country until September and travelling back via Dubai then, so if the device were available at the airport, I could pick one up there instead of pre-ordering on-line from a Dutch shop. Of course, I won't then get the good pre-order deal on the keyboard case, so I have to factor that in, too.
So, if I bought a 64gb model and stuffed it with a 256gb SD, would apps be able to be stored on the card? In short, would it behave as a pure 256gb model?
Thanks

Most things do not write to the SD card. Only apps I'm aware that do are multimedia applications, which really is the bulk of the storage space on a device typically.

Nope! All of your apps will install to the internal storage. Some apps will store some data on your SD card (not the same as installing to SDcard) . In short it will be nothing close to having 256gb internal storage. That's why I purchased the 256gb version and expect to take delivery by tomorrow.

I presume you are not in the UK. Only 64gb is available here?
voted 256gb
...but the LTE version only comes in the 64gb variant. Yet another disappointment in what would otherwise be an awesome tablet.

Yes, I saw a youtube video and the guy had a 256g LTE version. Don't recall the region/location.
Happiness would be a 256g LTE with the voice phone radio/ability
Definitely the 64gb, I already have a 256gb microsd card. You can force apps to sd in developer options, but honestly I only need the storage for movies and comics, which is built into the apps I use.
Does anyone know online store in eu where to buy 256gb version? (With or without lte.)
My country's limited period promotion is free upgrade to 256gb. So I got that
After being sceptical about buying the 64gb version, I have now had a few weeks to see how it goes. I have around 150 apps and a 64gb sd card. The main storage is less than half full as is the sd card. I no longer hanker after the 256gb. Very happy?
TL;DR: I'm debating the Tab or iPad, as I don't particularly like Apple's ecosystem, but all the useful apps pertaining to my interests are on iOS. Between the two, both of these devices cost the same for me whether it's 64 or 256GiB. I would go for 256.
You know I've had an Nvidia Shield since 2013. People were still saying that 16GiB should be enough for storage (arguably even 32). This is considering that games, even then, were starting to become fairly large for mobile gaming. I've actually used it up to about this year - though it's slow even on clean install, and the issues of overall sluggishness were never addressed with any update (since Nvidia was quick to ditch support once their tablet came along). It's at a point where I can't do anything on it today other than emulation, but I want to be able to create music and edit videos on a tablet.
I'd plan on obtaining the Korean 256/6 GiB version since it's the only model I've seen in that capacity - though I might have to sacrifice a leg (customs/tax and UPS's bologna "brokerage fees") for this thing costing an arm to begin with. However, also plan on keeping it as long as my Nvidia shield, and even longer. My personal use is mostly going to lie in multimedia creation and some mobile gaming. hopefully I can run a DAW like FL Studio mobile without issue on it but by reviews it seems buggy on a lot of modern devices, so I'm hesitant to drop money on something that may or may not work -- though I have Caustic 3, which works without issue on my Note, but is limited (made for much older devices).
Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of junk apps on the Play store that "you may be interested in". This is what's throwing off my decision to buy the tablet. Too many fart soundboards and fake DJ apps, and not enough professional apps - please correct me if I'm wrong - they seem to be sparse on Android. There is SoundCamp, and while it uses some device features, I don't really care for it.
a few weeks ago it was advertised that the a50 had 6gb of ram and the a70 8gb, now the a50 says it's 4gb of ram when i shop online and the a70 6gb of ram? I KNOW i'm not loosing my mind yet ... or am i???

what gives?
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SM-A505F-Dual-SIM-6-4-Inch-Smartphone/dp/B07QD67Z1Y/
of course it's discontinued to get people to buy then cheap out the product.
Some regions have 4GB and some have 6GB. For example the ones sold in the UK have 4GB and the ones sold in Hong Kong have 6GB. It's the same with NFC, some have it some don't.
seems like the 6gb was pulled out from the US market
EU has 4gb ram, 128gb storage, while Asia had 6gb ram, 64gb and 128gb storage options.

Hello guys, does anyone know if uhs-ii is leveraged by s20 ultra? As far as I know earlier models only benefit from uhs-i and hence no need to get ultra fast card. With 8k and huge files could it be that Samsung bumped the microsd spec?
It seems Samsung does not make itself uhs-ii cards. I looked at AData, ProGrade and Lexar. From tests it seems ADATA is fairly impressive at speeds exceeding 200MB/s for both read and write

Unless some really low data rate is utilized, I cannot see writing capture directly to any removable storage with 8K/24 output. The device will become unresponsive.

Where did you see the speed stats for Adata? Link, please. Thanks.
The phone supports UFS cards, according to the two Samsung support people I spoke too. So you could aways try those but I believe only size available currently is 256gb and smaller.
Google model MB-FA256G/AM
I have one ordered when it comes I update my findings with the UFS card

Take their words with a pinch of salt. i spoke to one personally and he told me the phone does not support UFS card. The only way to find out now is hope one of the owners can test it and share the result with us.

I looked a this test
https://www.anandtech.com/show/11974/adata-premier-and-xpg-sdxc-and-microsdxc-cards-review/3
I actually made an error and looked at the SDXC figures for the 128GB card. I should have been looking at the 3rd page (linked above) that is about microSDXC.
ADATA microSD does not seem that fast unfortunately. I can get the Lexar card too. I really have no preference. Lexar simply seems a bit better. That would only matter if the phone support UHS-II.
UFS card support as speculated above will be fantastic. I do not see it listed in the Samsung S20 Series Specs though. I only find the following on Samsung web site (all other sites kind of copy creatively this text and likely mess it up due to negligence or sheer incompetence.)
Single SIM model: one Nano SIM and one MicroSD slot (up to 1TB)
Dual SIM model (Hybrid SIM slot): one Nano SIM and one Nano SIM or one MicroSD slot (up to 1TB)
*SIM card sold separately. Availability of Dual SIM may vary depending on country and carrier.
*MicroSD card sold separately. Availability may vary depending on country and manufacturer.
*eSIM supported on Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra models. eSIM requires a wireless service plan and allows you to activate a mobile network plan without the use of a Nano SIM. eSIM availability may vary depending on country and carrier. Check with your carrier if your mobile network plan supports eSIM.

Thanks! I looked into some V90 MicroSDXC cards, and it appears that Delkin Power is the fastest for write speeds. However, it's pretty expensive, and I ended up getting a 128GB Lexar 1800x card (probably the next fastest one).
Hoping that the Ultra does indeed support UFS! Cheers.
still waiting for confirmation of samsung ufs memory card compatbility with s20 ultra. i would like to get one and test but unfortunately it's only sold in US.
I ordered the 256gb UFS card from Samsung early February but still hadn't been shipped yet but once it comes I'll let you guys know if it works in Samsung ultra (USA version).
Has a 6th March estimate shipping date.

Hi, it seems UFS hasnt the same form factor as MicroSd (+ different pins?) , so how could it work except if you could change the tray with sim+sd and theS20U has been designed for it?
Should be arriving tomorrow or day after, huge delays because of the virus etc. Ended up ordering from Korean seller on eBay as Samsung kept delaying, finger's crossed if it's legit plus actually works ?

Lol ok thanks. Thought you have disappeared after so long.
so I got the card today, and it sits in the micro SD slot just fine, but the phone sadly doesn't detect the card at all. tried all sorts of stuff but it wont detect it.
so that's that!

Just what i was guessing in post#12 , it s not the same pin design and interface , if i read correctly what i saw yesterday ufs cards should be for Note 20 : first Samsung's Smartphone with ufs3.1 Memory
to keep high speed rates with external memory , should be logical to give up SDcards and offer a slot for UFS cards in Galaxy Note 20

Thanks for trying and reporting back to us.
I know this isnt about UFS cards. Hopefully someone can answer. What is a decent large microsd for the s20 ultra 400-512gb. I've looked at the SanDisk, Lexpro, Samsung cards. Do any of them really work better than the other.? Is there a sweet spot in price/speed? Thanks
I have multiple cards Sandisk Extreme Pro 400gb, Sandisk extreme 400gb, Samsung Evo Plus 256gb and an older Samsung Evo 64gb however i still need to do some tests, i will post this here.

Lexar Professional 1800x MicroSDXC 128GB UHS-II is fast at a somewhat reasonable price.
U3 V90 cards are the fastest as of now, but some are ridiculously priced.
