Default Micro sd card 32go for xperia play

I want to buy a 32go card for my play, but I don't know what kind of card works with it. What class do I must buy: 2, 4, 6 or 10? What the differences between classes and what have you on your play?

Thanks!

I've always heard to get a class 10, and that's what I plan to get very soon.

There's pros and cons to getting Class 10 cards.

From what I read, Class 10 offers the best read/write speeds so this is a positive point.

The problem is, the random access performance of higher class cards is not as good as the lower class cards.

Some users have stated that Class 10 cards in their Android devices have created lag, which is attributable to the lower random access performance.

Personally, I'm using a Class 4 32GB Transcend card and so far I've not experienced any problems. I did use a Class 10 16GB Kingston and it my Play did suffer some lag.

I think the main advantage of higher class cards is performing file transfers between sources, as the higher write/read speeds would indicate.

If you look on the microSDHC card, it will have a circle with a number in it. That is its class.

If there is no number, it is Class 2.

I bought a class 10 Lexar 32gb microsdhc and i was shocked when i put it in my play. It was lagging in all the gameloft games most noticeably in Sacred Odyssey. I returned that and bought a 23gb Kingston class 4 and i have no problems with that .

I think its because the card had problems reading lots of small files, i noticed that when i was copying my data over the speed was coming down to 1mb!
