[Q] How's your Micro-SD performance? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I just got a Samsung 32GB plus (UHS-i) card from HK.
The read/write speed with my I9505 is 19.8MB/12.6MB, tested from SD tools.
I read some post that the read/write speed can even higher then mine about 50%.
Is my card/phone have problem?
Is my card fake ?

Use USB 3.0 card reader to test. Smartphone without UHS-I support is not a good device to benchmark.

Thank you, will buy a usb3.0 card reader to test with.
BTW, is my card speed normal?
Or could I say, is my i9505 read/write ability normal?

I have same phone i9505 and same card as you from HK and my speeds are exactly like yours....19.8MB/12.6MB
Maybe those cards are a newer rev. or something... Wherever i check the Samsung 32gb plus UHS-1 they look like the first picture attached and the one i have is like in 2nd picture ( has an U with a 1 inside above the I marking)
The other 16gb cards i had , on the back was written designed by samsung, on this one has only some codes...
Maybe is someone here to clear this out for us, why is like this and whats the difference cause the speeds are acceptable and doesn't seem to be fake...
Someone?

It's fine for me, I don't have any problems with it.

Hi Dean,
I just try my card on my colleague's S4 (China Unicom version, i9502).
I test three times and the result are attached. You can see that speed is much more higher. Will it be our i9505 problem itself?
Or due to diff. between snapdragon and exynos

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:

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?

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?

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.

[Q] Can someone suggest good memory card for samsung galaxy S4

Hi All,
Could you please help me to choose which memory card is good for samsung galaxy S4?
I am thinking to buy Transcend or Samsung 32GB Class 10 memory card. Please suggest.
Well I Googled it and determined the 64gb Samsung is very good.

I have a Sandisk 32GB Ultra Class 10 and it doesn't doesn't work well with it, message keep popping up saying the removable card is mounted then unmounted, then it's dead, I returned and got a replacement, my suggestion is to get Samsung branded, even though it's more expensive, but more reliable.

why go 32, get most you can. not much difference in money compared to phone price
sandisk has had issues for some
we just put 2 64gb ones in our phones. worked right off, no formatting. perfect
from amazon
my point was there are hundreds of reviews out there on the cards and ones by s4 users, check them out if you haven't

I have a Samsung microsdhc plus 16gb. No problems so far.
I've been using a SanDisk 32Gb ultra class 10 for about 6 months, originally with my galaxy s3. In March, my S3 kept trying to repair the card, wouldn't read the information. Even when it finished repairing it will unmount. After restarting the phone, same thing.. Repair and unmount. Brought it to my laptop and it could barely read the information on the drive.
All My info was there but it took forever to load anything. I format the card on my Pc and it's been working ever since. Everything is backed up, so it wasn't that big of deal. Though I did lose some pictures from that day due to my sync schedule.
Using the same card now in my s4. No problems yet.
Edit* I have antivirus on my phone and computer.. Scan showed up clean on both. So I have to assume either just a bad/corrupt file or the sdcard itself had an issue. But I did find others having issues regarding the same card I have, but I read mostly 'fried' or dead cards. Mine didn't die.

SDXC is SD Xtended Capacity). SDXC cards come in sizes of 32GB or higher higher,
While the class 2 , 4 , 6, 8, 10 gives diffnt speed while reading and writing on the card
other way higher the class faster the transfer speed and best for higher video resolution and data transfer
Hope this helps
Try the Toshiba exceria MicroSD Class 10. You will be blown away. The best card !

I guess any Sandisk or Samsung class 10 should be fastest(faster at least) - I use a class 10 Samsung on another device and it's fine (used to use it on my N3 also)
