4k Micro SD Card from Sandisc and Neo Hyrbrid Case from Spigen!

Waste of money to get that Sandisk card and will never get close to 95MB/95MB read/write speed. No current smartphone/tablet can either reach that speed.
I don't think it's a waste. If you can afford it, get the best and let your phone be the bottle neck. The card will most likely be in use longer than the phone.
Great MicroSD, and even better case. Ignore the troll. Good decision on your part!!
damn that is one fast card, I have the original OEM sandisk 128GB, and it is a little slow. I wonder if sandisk make one that fast in 128gb capacity
SanDisk upped it to 48MB/s read on the new one. Lexar has one that reads at 95MB/s but has slower write speeds. I haven't gotten mine to test out yet though
Whats the max can the note 3/4 or any other mobile device can read/write? :silly:
Anyone know if its worth getting higher speed ? Im getting the samsung pro one and says it reads up to 90mb
It's not worth getting a faster card just for the Note 4 as no phone out currently can support those UHS-I speeds. A basic class 10 card UHS-I U1 card is good enough for Note 4 4k recording.
The Samsung pro card is useful if you're removing the card from your phone and transferring it via a USB 3.0 reader, otherwise there's no benefit within the phone.

But lexar didnt disclose the write speed, b&h says minimum of 10mb, that doesn't sound promising.
Thanks for that info... as I dont even have 3.0 usb on my computer lol.. I think ill just order the evo then as I dont even use my laptop as much as I can plug my external hard drive to my note 3 and transfer files
UHS-I U1 means a guaranteed write of 10MB/s. It's safe to assume that the write speed will be around 25MB/s like the 16GB version. That's still better than the SanDisk Ultra which writes at 15MB/s. At least you'd get close to 95MB/s when taking stuff off the card though but it probably isn't the best solution for a GoPro 4 BlackBut lexar didnt disclose the write speed, b&h says minimum of 10mb, that doesn't sound promising.
I picked it up the other day for cheap on Amazon but it's still backordered/not released so I can't post benchmarks.

Don't think it applies to the 128GB version. It's speed class U1 instead of speed class U3 like the 32Gb and 64GB versions. The 16Gb version is also a U1 and writes at 25MB/s

What price did you get it at? Amazon shows $120 right now, with a 1-2 month delivery. I thought this is scheduled to release later this month.
Troll? Show me that any phone that support UHS-I speed with read/write speed close to 95MB than! Get the fact before call peoples troll without knowing the truth.
It's not wasting money, unless you only plan to use it in the phone, and then throw it away when you're done using the phone. There's a bit of future-proofing built in to a purchase like that. Unless you know the facts about how a person intends to use the chip beyond the phone, don't state it's a waste of money. Goes both ways. As far as the troll comment, I only state that to people who's first post in a thread is negative. Now if you had said "This card could be overkill, since your device won't reach those r/w speeds" that would be different. It's all in the tone you took.

Oh, quick note...yeah, pun intended. Wifi File Transfer Pro in the play store, is a great investment, if you have a Wireless AC router. Since the Note 4 has 802.11ac built in, wireless transfers on your home network would be much faster than through the cable.
I love the quick note. Never knew about it. I have an AC router so that is something I'll look into. Now if only my gopro could use that too....It's not wasting money, unless you only plan to use it in the phone, and then throw it away when you're done using the phone.

I thought I would chime in and say that I think it's a waste of money. I just now brought a 64GB 90MB's for my gopro. If I had went with a slower 64GB a year or so ago it wouldn't have worked inside of my current gopro. Well, it would have worked but I would have had a lot of freezing with my current settings. I know this because I tried it with the EVO. The experience was decent but far from the perfect recording I'm getting with the samsung pro. Now I'm sure a year or two from now if the cameras keep up the hype they will get even more demanding which mean I would have to upgrade my microsd at the same time I upgraded my action camera. Buying the largest fastest thing out there now will not futureproof me but will drain my wallet. The only reason why I'd do it is if I had a need for it in the present. Otherwise, might as well wait for the price to plummet. For the record I payed 42 bucks for the 64GB pro. Later on when I have the need for a largest size I'll probably pay the same price for something faster than what is currently out and larger than my current one for around 40 bucks again.
