Max Capacity and Performance Class for MicroSD card on TP

Ok, since i tell that money is not a problem.
I want to know what is the biggest and fastest Micro SD card available for the HTC Touch Pro.
Anyone can tell if have tried the 32 Gb SDHC Class 10??? or higher (if exists 64gb)...
Thanks in advance...

class 6 16GB is the fastest/biggest you can get.

Kingston has a 16GB, class 10 micro sd card. Is there any limit in class that the phone can handle?

I think you are mistaken.
Follow this link...
wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raph_Specs

the fuze will handle up to a 32gb sd card... here is all the info for the fuze, and any other AT&T device available at this time....

i do tech support calls for AT&T mobility... i get alot of questions about these devices...

There is no 32GB card at the moment. I assumed you ask what can you get right now.

Yes...there is

That's great and all, but I hope you noticed that card won't fit in a Raphael.

LMAO i couldnt stop laughing when i read this.
SD CARD LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!

rofl i lol'd too. im sure it was an oversight or something. anyway im still curious if the device can even use the whole transfer rate offered by a class six. Can anyone confirm that this phone can utilize a class 6 to its full potential?
*so i read up that wiki. according to that then there is no point in getting anything over a class two since the top speed it hits with a class 6 is .5 MB/s and the class 2 bandwidth limit is 2Mb/s*
sooooo any thoughts on this?

sandisk does have a 32gb microsd.... but it's class 2 and $200
http://sandisk.com/products/mobile-memory-products/sandisk-microsdhc
not in stock now though.... it was a bit back....

neato, but if it was in stock wouldn't it have the same performance on our phone as a class 6? From what i wrote earlier, i believe our speed is capped by a hardware limitation so 4+ class speeds wont help?.
id really like an expert to confirm this.

I would also like an experts advice on this matter... I am stuck with a 2g micro card and am looking to buy the biggest one I can stick in my phone.
Thanks for any input.

Depends on how soon you want it. Also, I presume you are using a similar device to the TP... I was in a BestBuy recently and they had an 8gb microsd in-stock! The only place I was able to get a 16gb microsd(class 2), was online unfortunately. Of course, I did see a few 32GB usb sticks for under $100 and grabbed one up, several months ago...
Also, as physical proof that a 16gb card will work/be recognized:

Does the class count?! This week i would like to buy a 16GB class 10 card?! will it work? i'm not interested in the speed. im just interested in it to work in the phone 4 downloading movies over the internet & such...

save money, get a slower class. 16 gb works.

Let's bring this thread up to date now in 2016 I can confirm 128gb and 200gb micro sd cards work in my T7272.

70 euro
It is very new so the price is high. And it is one of the fastest cards that exist.

can you run a benchmark to see if the note can utilize the speed of the card ?

not bad for 70euros. but adding this to the note, will easily give us technically 80GB. nice purchase. i wonder when that will be available here in asia.

But does the Note 10.1 support UHS-I? Because if not this would be for us just a super expensive regular 20 MB/s card...

Recived this card today. Sd tools shows 12.6/18.8 w/r speed. In comparison against sandisc ultra 32Gb class 10 7.1/13.3 . I don't know if sdtools shows real digits or not.

Used SD speed increase app. Best result @3072 is 13.2/18.8 .
Gallery is very slow.
My resume : if you plan to use this card only inserted in Note 10.1 it's not worth it to pay $92.

Even a SanDisk Ultra Class 6 can give you up to 30mbps. I use a San Disk Ultra Class 10 & have never come close to hitting 30mbps speeds on anything other than DSLR. For phone or tablet, stick with class 6 or 10 if cheap. Otherwise, you are just paying for something you aren't using anyway.
BTW, The new 32Gb SanDisks are 90mbps.

I got sandisk UHS 1 32gb on black Friday for $15
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app

For reliability I would trust Samsung more than Sandisk. Waiting for pricing to come down to earth.

Have the same card. using it as internalsd with swap sd script

Note 10.1 DOES NOT SUPPORT UHS-1, so buying such card for tablet is pure waste of money.
Sorry, haven't noticed how old is this thread.

How do you know this? The support is in the kernel, and IIRC any newer controller should be able to- there's hardware older than our Notes which definitely does.

Sandisk Class 4 Speed differences... Even on the same card...?

If there is anyone, who owns Sandisk MicroSD 32GB CLASS 4 card and runs Windows Phone 7.5/7.8 on it, could you please post the benchmark results?
The actual is only CLASS 4 one. I've found, that some Class 2 owners have speed of 7-8MB/s in WP Bench.
I've unpacked a Class 4 one. On the first time I run test it showed about 7MB/s, but after phone reset/installing dualboot etc speed decreased to 4MB/s
Is it normal?
Many thanks for any advices!

i have class 2 and never have better results than 8 MB/s

I think I mean your post with WP Bench
I was talking about your benchmark post with 9.1MB/s result. The problem is I've got a two cards, which work TERRABLE (PATRIOT class 10 which gets <1MB/s in WP Bench and Transcend Class 6 which gets <2MB and freezes on some roms). I've ordered an class 2 Sandisk card, but the shop delivered me a class 4 Can't decide should I put it back and continue seeking Class 2 or it will be the same speed with it too... I've found a few posts with SanDisk 32GB Class 4 users and it seems to be slower than class 2.
Bit on the first time I've puted the card on my phone the speed was ~7mb/s. And I can't even say that the card was empty. I installed wp benchmark and put few gigs of music on it.

Strange test results...?
Right now, after I set dualboot the speed is constantly about 4.03MB/s. Is there explanation for this strange speed decrease?
Maybe re-formatting or even reseting phone acts somehow on the card? Maybe it's any kind of software bag?

Regarding a speed test of my Sandisk 32 GB Class 4 card with WP Bench Free see my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36920228&postcount=174
I (also) noticed that my phone slowed down. But I'm not sure if the card is to blame. Previously I had two partitions on the card, a small one for Android and the large one for WP7.5. In December I repartitioned the card with three partitions, two rather small ones for Android (to get newer and faster ROMs working - "NativeSD") and the third one for WP7.8 (my main system). But Windows Phone feels a lot slower now. The reason might be 7.8 being slower or it is caused by the three partitions or maybe even by the card getting slower, I don't know.
But I'm also interested to get a faster WP (again), so I asked other people to return their benchmark results with WP Bench Free in order to have some comparison and maybe a reason to buy a specific new card (32 GB or 64 GB, not smaller). Sadly no one published any result so far.
P.S.: With 7.5 WP Bench Free also returned approx. 4 MB/s, just like now, but the system felt way snappier compared to 7.8.

Some practical test results
Here are some practical test results from WP Bench and Android SD Tools (Sandisk 32GB Class 4, year 2012):

I have noticed on my Sandisk 32GB UHS-1 that with dualbooting the speed is a lot less compared to without any partitioning. With dual boot i get around 4mb/s compared to with out it i got 6 mb/s

Question about micro SD cards to go with this phone

I know what the different class ratings mean as far as write/read speeds go for a phone, but as a first time buyer of one, I was looking for recommendations as far as what class would best suit an S4, as I'm looking to purchase a 64 gig card where the prices can vary by a fairly large margin. Also, brand recommendations would be appreciated as well with anyone with real knowledge on the matter! Thanks! :laugh:

the best SD for SG is Samsung Class 10 MicroSD

As mentioned, "class 10", but be very careful there is a huge problem with cards that are being sold as class 10 cards that don't preform nearly to the specs that a class 10 card should. This is a problem that all card manufacturers are facing. It is due to many reasons, counterfeit cards, mismarked cards, substandard production, re-marked cards, etc... Even cards with packaging that looks legit, so, good luck.

I have a 64GB SanDisk UHS1 MicroSDXC card. It should work fine with the s4,right?

I would hope so, but with all of the problems I wouldn't count on it. I've bought many miro-SD cards in the past several months. I've bought Sandisk 32 GIG class 10 cards (or so they were represented) from Radio Shack, Amazon, and Best Buys. None of them benchmarked as class 10 when it came to Write speeds. They were all between 6 and 8 times write speed. I also bought a PNY 32 GIG class 10 card. It benchmarked at over 10X write speed and worked very well, however, it lasted about 2 weeks and crapped out. I've used Amazon basics and Samsung cards before, but they were 16 GIG cards and seemed to work well (I didn't benchmark them). If you do searches on Google about the issue or look at reviews for cards available on Amazon you can see how big of an issue it is.

When companies say like "up to 64GB", is that simply because that's the max that's available right now or is it a physical limit? When 128GB microSD cards come out, wouldn't they be compatible too since they'll still be SDXC?

Yes, that is why they say that. I can say that having been amongst the first to purchase 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64GB cards at times when manufacturers said they did not work - they all did.

Microsd card compatibility

Will a 200gb card work with this phone?

Yup

If it hasn't been discussed in another thread (none as far as I know) it doesn't support UHS-I class 3 cards according to ZTE Germany Facebook support
I find it generally hard to find this particular information for most phones. Most if not all flagship smartphones brag with UHS-I compatibility but most of them are only compatible with class 1 which doesn't bring any benefits over standard class 10 cards according to my knowledge

I tried both 200 gb and 128 gb sandisk on my axon 7 global version and both make my phone too warm and of course quick battery drain . I read somewhere that actually supports only sdhc which means not more than 32 gb . Is that really true ? I have a huge music collection with lot high res files and need lot of space . Help please !

I have seen that San Disk cards have been giving people problems and that ZTE recomends the Samsung Evo Plus line.

If that's true that is kinda lame, do you still have source to that claim I couldn't find it easily on Google. And to back up what you're saying yes UHS-1 class 1 and standard class 10 are basically the same thing, in fact my SD card has both labels on it.

I'm using a Samsung UHS-1 class 1/ standard class 10 of 64GB and it works perfectly fine.

Confirm 256 Gb MicroSD Card
I called ZTE and they insisted that my Axon 7 would only support 128 Gb, class 10. (They only read their internal specifications, which are out of date.)
Here is an article about the increased storage support:
ZTE Axon 7 update B25 bumps SD card storage limit to 256GB
So, I purchased a "Samsung (MB-ME256GA/AM) 256GB 100MB/s (U3) MicroSDXC EVO Select Memory Card with Full-Size Adapter" from Amazon for $43. This supports Class 10, U3, and 4K HD, hopefully to be faster in my next phone.
I plugged it in and is registers the full 256 Gb of storage.
I am running ViperOS 6.7, Android V9 and very happy with this ROM, although it hasn't been updated since 09/2019.
