format sd card to internal memory

[swizzyneck]

Hello forum,
i´m about to purchase a xiaomi mi a2 lite 64gb 4gb ram and i am concerned that these 64gb of storage wont be enough for me.
i like the idea of Android one and the benefits of it (sleek, needs not much space and so on ... ) and i want to use the stock android.

i already found out that you can format an sd card as internal storage but can anyone of you tell me if you can use this normally with the same speed as the internal storage?
have you made any experiences with an sd card formated as internal storage ?
If yes, which sd card functions properly as an internal storage?


thanks!

High there,
The Samsung 128 Gb works perfectly. noissues with speed so far

Cheers

External SD cards are always worlds slower compared to the internal storage. I really wouldn't suggest to use the card as adoptable storage, better use it as portable storage. Use the internal storage for apps+their data und store pictures, movies, Spotify and such stuff on the external SD.

If your phone breaks, you can't read SD cards formatted as adoptable storage with any other device, because it's encrypted and bound to that unique device.

Pie update solves this issue I think. Just got it today.
