Class number indicates how fast the read and write is. The larger the number the better.
SDHC is your standard micro sd card up to 32gb. While the SDXC can go up to 2 TB i think? Its format will also be exFat meaning it can read/store single file greater then 4gb. Not sure if SDXC exFat format is supported for S4? since S4 can read up to 64gb i assume it can read the 64gb class 10 SDXC cards. if not then you can convert it to FAT32 but it wont read a file which is greater than 4gb

Yes... unless that type is not supported by S4, i havent researched the S4 side yet. Currently im using a SDXC Class 10 64gb exFat format on my Nokia 808.
I think the packaging has the Green android robot guy with a label of Supports Android or something. I threw away my packaging but im using a Sandisk Ultra if that helps.
I cant vouch for S4 personally since i havent tried inserting it yet. Hope someone here has tried.
Thanks
Is there anyone that know for sure what is the best memory card for the s4 I9500?
I got a samsung 64gb pro class 10 sdxc. Works perfectly in my s4. Formatted the card within the phone and am able to transfer files larger than 4gb in it, so am assuming the phone formatted it to exfat.
Yea it's an option but I think I will take the 32gb, but for the 32gb I didn't find the xc model.
How is sdhc hc-1? Will it work or is there a better one that will work?

S4 supports 64gb? Thought it was only 32? Or was that the s3....

As of now i dont think you can move apps to the sd card. Only music, videos, images and other nonapp essential files can be stored in the sd card. Maybe after rooting?

actually, you can move the apps into the sd. Samsung made the change after the numerous complains about lack of space

From my understanding, the Galaxy S4 will only read up to 64gb. anything higher, phone won't read it. Also, some say to be careful with the Sandisk cards as they could be difficult to work with on the S4. I have a Samsung 32gb card and it works flawessly.

I bought that one and a USB 3.0 microsdxc card reader that supports UHS-1 speeds. While, the s4 will supposedly work with their own card, you won't get the higher read/write speeds on the s4, but you will on your pc.
Sort of a pain to take the card out and stick it in the usb 3 card reader, but for 64gb and you're trying to transfer large video files - may be easier, I suppose
I am wanting to buy a 64gb memory card and have looked at san disk however I have had one which corrupted on my note 2 so am concerned.
Has anyone used the 646gb sandisk class 10 with the new s4 ??

Same here, I had 2 Sandisk SD cards 32GB and both of them got corrupted on MY S3, I don't know is was a bad production or not but the truth is that is very disappointing.
Some people say that rooting phones corrupts the SD card forever, Dunno is its true, Any way I think i will give it a shot on sandisk again for my new S4.
Peace :good:

646gb card ?!?!?!?
Where !!!
I have bought this tablet. In spec it writes microsd up to 32 gb. I want to install maximum storage. If i install 64 gb will it see it or not? Thanks,..
All the documents I have seen state it to be an SDXC slot which means it should read upto 2 terabyte cards if such things existed.
If it is however just an SDHC slot (which I doubt but then I have seen weirder things happen) it may either not read the card at all or read just 16gb of it, depends on what drivers and hardware are in use.
If it supports 32GB, it'll take more as well, I'm sure. My phone said it would only support up to 32 but took a 64GB card quite happily. My guess is just that at the time the spec sheet was written, 32GB was the best available. Stupidly short-sighted to write it that way, though; as 6677 points out, the SDXC spec allows for truly massive cards.
Thanks both.. :laugh: I also believed the same but needed some verification..
64 GB microSD

Hey guys, i'm about to buy a Micro SD card to my galaxy s4 and i'd like to hear your opinions.
What do you think is better:
SanDisk Memory Card Mobile Ultra 32GB Class 10
OR
Samsung Micro SD 32GB Class 10 Plus UHS-I SDHC
I’m not sure what should I take… thanks!!

I've used both Samsung and SanDisk but I can tell that Samsung is slightly better at the cost of reading and writing data
Go with the samsung if u want better write/read speed, I got the Sandisk 32gb micro sd card because it was cheaper and I wasn't impressive by its write speed and read speed, but overall it's still good. U get what u paid for
I wish to puchase a 128GB micro SD or even a 256GB micro SD for my Note 3, so I can load it with several movies and other stuff.
Does anybody knows if Note 3 support such big storage? Any issues? Has someone already tried to use 128GB Micro SD card?
Thank you

I forgot...the 128GB is from Sandisk
sorry...my mistake. It is a Samsung 128GN micro SD card

Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472486. Myself haven't go through in details but i believe 128GB is possible
128 is the biggest available (on amazon, but deeply backordered - I bought mine like a month ago, and still no sign of shipping). The manufacturers appear to be supply constrained.
128GB of flash just barely fits into a microSD package with top-of-the-line process technology. That's the biggest we're going to see until another round of process shrinks (and this is why it's taken until now to bring out a 128gb microsD card).
However you can mod your phone with an sd card to micro sd card adaptor and use a 256gb up to 2 terabyte card - theoretically... People do use 256gb sd cards though. This is proven to work...

So does NOTE 3 fully support 128GB? I mean, if you insert a 128GB will Note 3 see it as 128GB or just 64GB? Or will it sense it as two separate 64GB partitions?
I ask because I see in the specs: "it can be expanded with a up to 64GB external memory"...

Thats because 64gb was all that was available when Note 3 was launched.... The S3 specs only say up to 32gb but I used a 64gb sd card in that as well as the Note 1....
This is the manufacturer covering their A$$ so if for some reason someone did have a problem they point to the specs sheet and say it wasn't covered...
Rest assured it does NOT partition the sd card... I have a 128gb sd card - using the sd card to micro sd card adaptor - on my Note 10.1 2014 ed with no problems... Hell, I use a 128gb sd card on my Note 10.1 1st edition...
Still running out of space though.....:laugh:
I get my adaptors from here, though I have seen cheaper these are just the right size - http://linitx.com/product/sdmicro-to-sd-card-adapter/11922
I have a 64gb flash card its the fastest class ect. and it runs PAINFULLY SLOW! it takes forever to even copy stuff onto it from USB3. its much slower then the note 2 for some reason. i had it tested and its not faulty. its just a PAIN IN ASS. so only use it if you plan to keep it on there a long time. now I just delete/copy the internal memory as its much faster then move all stuff overnight while its on charge to External

Just to throw a herring in here... not sure if stock supports it but using ntfs on my 64GB with CarbonRom (aosp based)... better read/write speeds but more importantly, far more stable

If you have a 256gb micro sd card you just plug in where the micro sd card goes, I was referencing an adaptor that has a micro sd plug and you can insert a normal size sd card. If you have a 512gb sd card this would also work...
Hello, I purchased a 200 Gb Lexar microsd.
I was so happy of its capacity, but now I have a file system issue. It made it just readable, so no way to modify it neither format it...
Since my data stand there I cannot give it back in order to get a replacement or refund...so I think no more Lexar at all...

Hi, I have a samsung galaxy s4 and it's running out of storage. It's a 16gb phone but about 9 gb is unusable due to "misc fiiles", just the way the phone is which sucks. I just need an sd card to get some more storage. I can use this to store files, pictures, and for apps correct?
I can't post urls, I was gonna post a link to the Samsung EVO 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC Card with Adapter (MB-MP32DA/AM) on Amazon, will that one work with my phone? And I just insert it in the back of the phone right? I've had this phone for a year, its my first smartphone. Im just looking for some morr reliable storage.
Thank you.
Yes it will work. This phone will probably work with 128 GB microSD cards too.
