Micro SD card for adoptable storage: advice needed - Moto G4 Questions & Answers

Hi,
internal storage on my Moto G4 (16gb) is full, so I need to buy a micro sd card.
What model is best suitable for my smartphone? I've read some great reviews about Samsung Evo Plus 64gb but it is not available on Amazon in my country right now.
In my phone at the moment I have a Samsung Evo 32 gb (normal, not plus version) but I think it's too small.
Thanks

Any micro sd card uhs 1 with read/write better than 60/50 mb/s will be good.

HD2: No SDHC???

I have already got a 16GB SDHC class 6...
Hope I am wrong... XD
But this will not work in the HD2? That's just crazy. Can it really be true that it only supports crappy old and slow MicroSD at the very max size of 8gb and no real internal phone memory??? Even the hero has sdhc :S
EDIT: Source: http://www.htc.com/europe/product/hd2/specification.html
The specification says '(SD 2.0 compatible)'.
SD 2.0 allows up to 32 Gb per card.
HC only means the card is bigger than 4GB.
Can't see any issue here ...
So my microSDHC is compatible? =)
The slot is a microSD one. Your card is a microSD one.
The SD 2.0 standard allows 32 GB. Your card is 16GB.
(Forget about the HC part, purely marketing and useless)
Short answer: yes, your 16GB microSD card is compatible with the HD2.

[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.

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.

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).

I'm using a Sandisk Extreme plus 32gb card and have never noticed a slowdown while using it as internal memory. I was previously using it on my old 3rd gen Moto and now have it in my G4. I picked it up at Best Buy on sale for about $24 US. I really don't need to use it as internal now but I wanted to try it that way. I may eventually format it as media but for now it's being used as internal and working great.

I've been using the PNY Elite card. It's cheap (32GB for less than $10) and the read/write speeds are great. No issues on my Moto g4 or GoPro
This is the card --> http://amzn.to/2beqqvZ
I have a standard Samsung class 10 16gb with no issues
Now Using a Sandisk extreme 32gb U3 as previous Kingston 32 GB Micro SDHC UHS-I Speed Class 3 U3?*was reported as too slow for Internal use
Samsung 64GB EVO Plus
Awesome random read and write for use as internal, with great sequential for those videos and large pictures.

Added: I am still using it as external in marshmallow however, I don't see a need for internal as 32gb is PLENTY for the apps I use.

128gb UHS memory card on grand 2

Is that possible to use 128GB UHS-I memory card on grand 2? anyone tried it? does it support our phone?
I'm planning to buy one. but i have to make sure it work.
I know 64GB is maximum, but its a dedicated slot, so 128GB should probably work.
I havent tried a 128 gig memory card yet, but I saw on a forum ( androidforums.com ) that 128 gig sandisk memory card can work on grand 2 (g7102 and g7105).

256GB microsd cards

I have been thinking about getting the Motorola G5 Plus but I want to USE a 256GB microsd card, instead of a 128GB microsd card.
But on the Official Moto G5 Plus website, it says that Motorola G5 Plus microSd card slot ONLY SUPPORTS 128GB microsd cards. So how do I know that when I get the Motorola G5 Plus, that it will support 256GB microsd cards?
Anybody that is in the same boat as me, please tell me any suggestions that you have made. I'm currently in the United States. So the Moto G5 Plus is the only official phone available in the G series

What's the doubt? Moto clearly says that the limit is 128... I don't get your question

I use a 200gb card in a moto e whose limit says 128g, might even be 64, don't remember. Those aren't always hard and fast rules.

Well they officially support up to 128gb but you should be able to use a 256gb without any problems
Hi,
SD limits announced by manufacturers are completly useless... only two causes can make the limit:
- The filesystem used: Any SD card of 64GB or more is "pre-formatted" with exFAT. This is because this is a requiment enforced by the SD Consortium. Then, if the device doesn't support exFAT, they announce supporting only 32GB in SD. But if you reformat the card with FAT32, then you can use 64,128 or more.
- The SD standard supported: original SD has a limit of 4GB, SDHC has a 32GB limit, and SDXC has a limit of 2TB (at time, no card with 2TB exists). Then if the device has support for SDXC (as the Moto G5 and the 99% of smartphones of today), ANY card be compatible... as all cards has less than 2TB.
That's all! The Linux kernel or the Android subsystem doesn't imposse any artifical limit to the SD slot.

True..but I think you are using more than 128Gb then your phone may get slow down.
I know I had a tablet one time that would not read anything over 64 gb so I formatted an 128 card into two 60gb partitions.

Is it possible that your phone will only be able to access 128 GB of the total 200?

Is it possible that the one who posted that in May 2017 (!) isn't interested in it anymore?

Moto G5 Plus, XT1687 with 256 GB Micro SD Card class 10, working for years no slow down. Based on the advice in this post I bought the card. Thank You so much!
