Sandisk cards have issues with Galaxy phones. So you might want to use Samsung one.
On my S4, Sandisk card unmount and mount itself again and again which phone is in sleep mode. Sandisk admitted this issue and they issued replacement to bad cards.

Samsung 32gb class 10 here. It's the fastest sd card on the Earth and the 32 GB are just enough for me. Since I can't install apps on it, I never had more than 7 GB used.

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?

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?

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] Which Micro SD card should I take?

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!!
Go with Samsung...

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

[Q] Best Micro SDXC Card for Galaxy S4 ?

Is this card good ? Samsung 64GB microSD Card MB-MGCGB Pro Series for my Samsung Galaxy S 4 (GT-I9505)
http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/memory-storage/MB-MGCGB/AM
Hello
I need a new micro SDXC 64 GB Card because my Kingston micro SDXC 64 GB is DEAD.
Or advise me.
Sorry for my bad English and Thanks.
Some advises ?
I only buy Samsung flash memory, it`s the best other makes are less durable, and are more likely to fail, i would rather pay a little more for quality and reliability.
John.
Hello,
I have the same card but I use the 32 GB version. I benchmarked the Micro SD card and got stunning results.
I also never had problems with this card so you can buy it off from Amazon. I can only recommend using Samsung cards!
Go for it. I'm using 16gb samsung card and no problems so far.
Somebody have some experience with 64GB Version ?
it's more better than Kingston, SanDisk ( Global Leader in Flash Memory Storage Solutions ) or similar micro SDXC Cards.
Read the reviews on Amazon for the Samsung microsd 64gb , at least one S4 owner with no problems.
John.
64Gb card
I am using the Samsung 64Gb card (exFAT formatted).
No issue at all, very satisfied with the card.
One thing to decide: if you are going to use a custom ROM/Kernel/Recovery then make sure upfront if the kernel and recovery are supporting the exFAT filesystem. If not, you can reformat the card in FAT32 with a dedicated app (not from Windows).
I am using a custom ROM (BobCatRom V3.0) but with the stock kernel and Philz recovery.
Works like a charm with the 64GB exFAT card from Samsung
MicroSD Compatibility
Buy what you fancy but IMHO don't buy card with 300x/655x speed UHS-1 which can deliver upto 70mbps.
I had a chat with a samsung online rep. And according to her she said the best compatible card for the S4 is a Class 10 upto 64GB.
Anything above it is only placebo for the user

I have this card on my i9505. Works great, no problems. I could recommend it. Go for it.
Previously I had Sandisk 64GB C10 UHS-1 on S3. No problems as well, but it was slower than Samsung.
One advice: buy from reputable source (whichever manufacturer you choose), because there is a chance that you could save few bucks but end up with fake card (dead slow for random ops, or even fake capacity).

Any ideas? I browsed a lot, can't find the solid and trusted solution.
Thanks,
