[Q] Samsung MicroSDXC 64GB PLUS vs EVO - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
I've googled for 45mins included XDA but found nothing so decided to post here.
I ordered Samsung micro SDXC EVO 64GB from some online store but the seller sent me a Samsung SDXC PLUS 64GB, then he told me both are the same (up to 48MB/s) except the packaging.
In fact i don't care about the look, is there any significant different other than look and packaging?

Which Model Did You Get?

Myself, like many others, decided that the Asus Eeee Pad Transformer was the tablet of choice. Trying to find one without being ripped off was a whole different endeavor though.
Being as the 16GB version's price has inflated everywhere, and in some places up to $65 above MSRP, I decided to get the 32GB version, which was in stock, and still only $499. I noticed this was the trend in most places selling it, and I saw the $40 difference for double the memory as a no brainer.
So with that in mind, my question to you is, which model did you get? 16GB or 32GB? What swayed your decision? Did you pay above MSRP for it?
Chose: 16 Gb Version
Why?: Cuz It was On BestBuy for 399$ and I had a 32GB Micro SD from My HTC Thunderbolt plus and Extra 16GB micro sd from my old phone. Put the 32 in TF101 and 16 in TBolt. Boom. Got me a 48GB Transformer
Satisfied?: Hell Yes.
16gb from amazon.
32 GB from Amazon.de
not got yet but considering getting the one with the keyboard bundled which only seems to be the 16gb at the moment.
but the way i see it is that if i get a 32gb microsd card and a 32gb sd card for the keyboard bit (cheaper) then its negligable what the internal storage is
32 gb from Amazon.de as well. Trying to find a Swiss-French dock ever since
Will upgrade the Micro-SD as needed...
16gb. Exactly $399 on Newegg.

16GB from Amazon at $399. I figured that with the microSD slot, I didn't need 32GB. If I felt stronger about that much storage, I probably would've gone with a GTab, tbh.
I'm on my third unit now. Aside from the speaker issue and some moderate light leaks, I'm satisfied with the rest of the device. Overall, though, I wish I'd waited until Asus had the bugs out of production.
389 from tigerdirect. I found for most folks, disk space was being consumed by media/movies. Since I never planned to watch movies and only listen to music from Google music, 16gb was more than enough. After a month, I still have 11 GB free on the TF with another 8GB microsd and 4gb SDHC card
Bought the 32 GB here in Taiwan. Got a free 32 GB SD card and an Asus sleeve because of the messy pre-order.

I wouldn't say that to Erica Ogg of cnet, (an ipad fangirl with her head up her ass) according to her none of the Android tablets have caught on and sales have been 'uninspiring'

One 16GB, one 32GB, both bought at MSRP.
16GB with dock
Currys UK (bought in store)
RRP - £430.00 with free express delivery and 20% off a £35.00 case.
16 gig with a dock. Figured if I wanted more later I'd get a microsd card.
Bought the 32gig TF.
Using 32gig MicroSD.
Bought the Dock + using a 32gig SD.
96gigs. A fair bit of it is movies and porn.
16GB with dock at comet.co.uk
I got lexar 32gb class 10 for SGS 2, put it in TF now.
I bought a 16GB today. I bought in store so it was $26 sales tax. I'm not good at waiting. Newegg has them for the same price but I would have gotten it Monday.
32GB from canada computers. was on the waiting list for more than a month for the 16GB version and gave up waiting.
16gb from amazon. If amazon has none in stock it shows another seller that ups the price, buy from amazon and it's still only 399. I stream my music and movies, but the assurance of another 16gb would be nice but meh.

Here is the Android Police take on this card

Actually, what i wanted to know, is if THIS item is compatible with the T-mobile Samsung Galaxy 4G if anyone knows?
http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HDMI-Micro-Cable-Feet/dp/B003UH0Z9Q/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_b
together they sell them for $42.99, so is that good?
If your primary usage for the card is for phone then I would suggest to go for class 4 sandisk 32 gb. You can get it around for $30 from amazon (try to get the one that amazon sells by itself just to be sure you do not get the fake sandisk).
How are you going to connect micro HDMI to galaxy 4g (are you talking about the original galaxy S 4g or S2)?
Just came here to post this deal. Just saw the email in my inbox.

Thanks for answering, yes original S4g. I have not seen micro HDMI before, sorry I assumed the TV out connector "micro USB is the same size but taking your Question, I assumed wrong.
Don't buy the lexar its got horrible reviews mostly relating to data corruption or failure. I got one during christmas lasted a week then died returned it, luckily at the time there was a special on the samsung microsdhc for 35$, awesome deal, have not has one problem. I've had many class 10's from various manufacturers and sizes never had a problem with any of them the way the lexar did. Google for reviews theres a large number of people that had the exact same problem. Stay away,wait for another deal if you need one urgently get the pny 32 class 10 which you can find for 42.99 around the net. Also what makes this sale even more ludacris is it's at that price at quite a few places including amazon etc.. I bet they wanna dump as much of their stock of those as possible.

PNY 32GB High Speed Class 10 microSDHC

After picking up my new Galaxy S III (Garnet Red sexiness) a couple days ago I was in the market for a microSD card. Now, it's obvious that I could have saved a few dollars by buying online but I needed one ASAP and didn't want to have to wait for it to arrive. Usually that means the cost of purchasing at a local brick & mortar store would be significantly higher, so I scanned the Sunday sales ads to see what I was up against. The best deal I could find in the sale ads was a PNY 32GB class10 microSDHC @ Staples for $44.99 or a 16GB for $19.99. That was more than I wanted to pay so I stopped in at my local Best Buy because they sometimes have some great sale prices that are not even advertised. I found the same 32GB PNY card with the adapter for $34.99 on sale, which they had not advertised in the sale ad. If anyone is in the market and would rather pick one up locally like myself, the info is below.
PNY 32GB class10 microSDHC $34.99 + tax (cheapest I found online was $26.85 + $4.99 S/H = $31.84 @ Amazon)
Model # PSDU32G10TEFM1
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/PNY+Tec...Card/3026197.p?id=1218372338726&skuId=3026197
PS. Another reason I chose to buy locally is to have peace of mind in knowing the card is 100% genuine and not potentially fake.
meh, ive seen cheaper 32gb class10 sd's from reputable dealers
I've tried the pny brand and man was it horrible. I tried a 2gig on my old samsung gravity and when I had to format it it only showed 256mbs. And an 8gig I tried on my g1 kept corrupting itself.

[Q] No Carriers in US have 64GB Versions?

I am with Verizon. Will any carriers be shipping the 64GB version? I have pre-ordered it but it is only available as 32GB with Verizon. I think AT&T only has the 32GB variant too. I do not understand why... Can anyone shed any light on this? I want the 64Gb version!
Too Expensive

That's probably because it's too expensive. People expect to pay close to $900 for an iPhone and carriers are willing to take the risk on an Apple product. Not so much with any other manufacturers.
Unless it's going to be a few months I will definitely hold out for the 64gb version. I have 16gb now which is horrible.
Too expensive is a load of BS. The price point between 16/32/64 is each one goes up $50-100 so a 64GB should cost $349-399 at most. People buy 64GB iphones though not as many compared to the 16/32GB options. The issue is people in the US are CHEAP, the average user just won't spend the extra $50 to get more storage, they cry they can put an SD card in which is only partially true, you can't put apps on that SD card which is WHY we want 64GB. I guess it will take another few years before Samsung drops 32GB and goes 64GB only
I had high hopes for LTE being the one standard to which we could all balance on but those telco's certainly like to screw us royally and will never agree on anything that takes dime out of their own pockets.

I dont see how it could be too expensive. I bought the HTC one 64 GB from AT&T pre-order with no problems. I actually got a hell of a deal on it too. Did it during the free Media Link promo they had. They took the 99 dollars off the 64 GB which made it like 250 and were supposed to re-charge me that when they shipped the media link. Well they never shipped it and never tacked that price back on.

Too little, too late. 32GB is the new 16GB. It wasn't that long ago when phones were 4-8GB. My Note 1 is approaching 2 years old, back then the market wasn't full of 1gig plus games, the camera res wasn't as good etc. To me especially with limited data bigger internal storage is a must.
And as you said an SD card isn't the same when you can't move apps to it, I have a 64gb card for music, audiobooks, pictures and videos and I still barely get by with the 16gb internal storage.
Not that I myself will actually use it...But the Note3 is said to be able to shoot video in the new 4K format. That's a space DEVOURER right there!

I don't disagree, but if Samsung hadn't removed the 16GB version the US carriers would have ordered those and NOT the 32GB. Like I say we need Samsung to just go 64GB + microSD and make it a big value.
My understanding is 32gb + LTE or 64gb + NO LTE
In which case it's pretty reasonable tradeoff to me...
but then I hear about 4 core CPU + LTE or 8 core CPU + NO LTE - now that is bullsh!t
Yes I noticed that. I wonder why or how they are related...
