Memory cards supported?

[amithiel]

Hey guys,

I can't seem to find any detailed information about memory card support on galaxy A5 2017. I was thinking about buying a microsd UHS-3 class 10, is it supported? or waste of money? i heard good opinions about this specific one: Samsung 64GB 100MB/s (U3) MicroSDXC EVO
but again, i'm no expert in the matter. My goal is to install apps on it, not much photos. I want the fastest card, i hate lag

thanks in advance

Well there are 2 slots on the phone : one for the sim card (obviously) and the other one for the memory card.

Yes @amithiel A5 2017 supports UHS 3 memory card and the limit is 256gb. However I wouldn't recommend spending so much on UHS 3 as these cards are useful only for high end cameras like go pro and security cams. On phone you wouldnt find much difference. Telling from experience. I am using 64gb UHS grade 3. And it give me 25 mpbs transfer speed when transfering files from pc to sd card when it is connected through phone. And gives 35~38mbps speed when directly connected to pc through card reader.

If you want to use adoptable storage, you would need the fast class 10 card, slower cards simply don't work well enough. Even if you just run apps off it, the extra speed is worth it. <It is not that much more than slower cards, maybe 10-20% more ... in Canada at any rate.>
