You can get a Class 10 PNY 16GB from Play.com for £16.99.

For use in the SGS2 I wouldn't recommend going any lower than a Class 6, especially if you intend on using the HD camera & media playback.

There you go. I was planning on getting a 32GB Class 10, but the cheapest I could find one was around £70, which is ridiculous value when you think about it. An extra £50-odd for an extra 16GB. I ended up just buying that PNY one and I'll upgrade to a 32GB when they drop in price.
Thanks so much.. This is a great price. Do PNY make good cards? Il order it now. Thanks again.

a review on play.com about the micro sd-card.

Not class 10 speed
Cockran | 13/04/2011 | See all Cockran's reviews (1) »
I bought this card to use with my SGS, wich it does, but the speed is just between 3 and 4 Mb/sec so, far from being class 10 I would say. My humble SD 8Gb class 6 is faster than this one.
Overall, it works but it is slow.

hmmmm! could that be true even tho there is 5 other good reviews

£16.99 Free Delivery

would that free delivery be outside UK too? (Australia)

I actually tried to order it from Italy.

When I tried to check out, they asked me to change the expedition address since this item cannot be sold outside UK.

I even tried to find some options to pay the expedition, but there were none.

Maybe this helps a few here...
I have bought this card at amazon.de
http://www.amazon.de/Lexar-microSDH...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1304015785&sr=8-1
At the time of my purchase, it cost me 52.98€ plus 4.90€ shipping (in Germany). It's now somewhat more expansive. Edit: I can't run any tests, because while I ordered it on saturday it just got shipped today. :)
It has some good reviews:

A lower class card from SanDisk or Transcend would have cost the same. 16GB cards retails for 23€ from reputable sources. So I paid an extra 10€ for the ease of double space without exchanging any cards or carrying a second. :D

Those who have ordered this or are interested in doing so might want to check this out:

Search "pny-16gb-micro-sd-memory-card-class-10-16-99-play-note/924009" on google and click the first link. I can't post links yet.


Apparently some people have recieved unbranded cards which aren't as fast as advertised and that sometimes have died very quickly.

I will be testing my 32GB Class 2 Sandisk card in mine when I get it to see whether its up to snuff. There is a lot of misinformation out there around Class speeds and the effects in your phone - Class 2 is sufficient to encode and decode 720p, and therefore sufficient for nearly all in-phone use-case scenarios, question is whether its enough for 1080p media.

Got my 32GB microSDHC class 10 card from Lexar today and with the microSDHC->USB adapter I ran ATTO Disk Benchmark on it with these results:

Definitely within the specs, looking pretty good for me.

Let us know how the class 2 performs in your tests. I take loads of videos so the card must perform good with 1080p. Im gona wait till i recieve this 16gb, hopefully il get a branded one. Later on when class 6 or class 10 32gb cards become cheaper il purchase one

I just received this card in the post so I thought I'd give this a bump and let you know the speed test results from it.



Tested while card had over 8GB of data already on it, and directly inside the SGS2 as I figured considering it's being used in there it might have been a fairer result that way.

I'm quite impressed with it to be honest. Not quite class 10 speeds but pretty damn close. Now we just have to wait to see if it'll crap out in a few months time.

That is class 10 speed. Class 10 denotes that it has at least 10MB/s write speed. Which your picture denotes.

Any idea of why I can't buy that microsd from play.com? I'm from Italy and it states that I have to change my delivery address.. Even if the price is in euros..

What about this result was shared in customer reviews?
