Hello everyone, I've just moved from Z1 to XZ :D Mine was a 64GB internal storage version but I still would like to expand it through microSD card. So I hope you guy can recommend me a good one to choose so as to get the best possible speed XZ can handle. Thanks everyone in advance.

So as of right now I am considering some of these options as in my country they have similar prices which I can afford:
32GB:
- MicroSDHC SanDisk Extreme V30 600x 32GB
Read: 90MB/s
Write: 60MB/s
- MicroSDHC Kingston 32GB U3
Read: 90MB/s
Write: 80MB/s

64GB:
- MicroSDXC Samsung EVO Plus 64GB
Read: 80MB/s
Write: 20MB/s
- MicroSDXC SanDisk Ultra 64GB
Read: 80MB/s
Write: 15MB/s

Should I go with any of these options or should I just go with cheaper ones? Would it affect the camera's speed or the phone's speed in general?

I have MicroSDXC Samsung EVO Plus 128GB class 10 and it works fine. Not sure how to tell if it is fast or no but transferring data from phone to pc or from pc to phone goes as fast as internal storage maybe 1-2 seconds slower but still perform pretty good. So I assume 64gb will be fine too. I dont know about kingston or sandisk but I know they are good too.
PS: I didn't notice any differences in camera performance. Look good to me.

Thank guys. After much consideration through your advises, I've settled with MicroSDXC Samsung EVO Plus 64GB (it also got sale in my country :D). So far everything seem fine. Camera saving picture speed seem about the same with internal storage.

Got samsung 256 evo+n 90+ read write. BUT those speed can be achieved only with decent cardreader or there is a Sony USB 3.1 Gen2 cable that can provide 10gb/s but cant say if it works when u plug it to phone, also u must have such Highspeed usb3.1 gen 2 port on motherboard or laptop.
