Help: SD Card Question

tehpud · Jul 21, 2014

Would this SD card be overkill? I plan on shooting 4k videos or high quality videos and pictures with this phone.

I'm coming from an iPhone 5s - so i'm a little clueless when it comes to SD cards and mobile devices.

I have a similar class 10 and it does the job fine. Haven't seen any problems, although I haven't shot much video.

When I was shopping around, I couldn't find anything below class 10 that was a worthwhile cost saving without going for a unbranded card that I wouldn't risk buying.

I picked up a 32gb but that's because my aim is to save a lot of music on it, not the much more storage-greedy 4k videos. I'd say you'll be just fine.

TBH I kinda want to pick up a 128 because why not.

I am using a Class 10 32GB that I no longer use with my GoPro, I used 16GB for years and never had an issue.

Um. that's an SD card. It won't fit on your phone.

you need MicroSD.

I have a 128GB one from Sandisk that works very well on the G3.

LOL oh man. I wonder how many people (like me) didn't click on the link itself and just saw "64gb card" and assumed the OP knew to get a micro.

ha! thanks for pointing that out. I knew I would **** it up without asking. Thanks for the save. With that being said - good feedback in general and looking at some micros.

I will probably get 128gb. Just need to find a good one.

For 128GB, there is only one in the market. The Sandisk one. It's only $120 at Amazon now.

Oh and don't get swindled by the 'fake' $30 128GB card on Amazon. Read the reviews lol

I just picked up a class 10 Patriot 64gb microsd for $27. Money well spent.

Here is one I like, it's cheap, good quality and fast. The 32gb is ~13 so that's a better buy http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CE...5_QL70&qid=1406004610&sr=8-13#ref=mp_s_a_1_13

I picked up a 64GB Samsung Pro for my G3, seems to be working fine, though I haven't tried any videos on it yet (just music). $41 with S&H.

I just ordered this myself. Looking forward to testing it out.

Sandisk Class 10 64gb Micro SD cards are currently on sale for $36.99 on amazon. I was thinking about getting one of those.

I got the samsung pro 32 gb micro sd from amazon.

Very happy with it, I even got a feeling that it saves camera pics faster than saving it to the phone itself

I have a 32 Sandisk ultra and a 32gb transcend card (it's faster than the sandisk) however I feel like they write slow when I take pictures so I wanted a faster card. How fast is the who or evo pro when you take a picture? Is there any delay?

Here's a 64 gb G-Skill for $34.99 with .99 shipping from newegg on ebay, great card, I use it, got it for $24.99 not long ago. G-Skill is a memory company so you know it's good quality. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=291190498727 Here are some read write speeds for this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231651

Ready2Mosh · Aug 1, 2014

Granted yours is a 128 gb but the g- skill is much faster.
