R4i Gold Card + 2GB Kingston Memory Card

Thats a good price, I'm still holding out as I just pre-ordered my 3DS yesterday. Hopefully they get a solution soon.

Watch out it might be a TRAP

i got this card, exactly that one
its working really nice.. using it since firmware 1.4 was out^.^ (my old card stopped working then cause the update)

Micro SD card slot means no need for 32gb model?

So I'm wondering if there is a micro SD card slot then do you really need to buy the 32gb version? It appears that the current math among tablet manufacturer's is $100 for 16gb of memory which is obviously a joke. So if i buy the 16gb version and then buy a 16gb sd card ($25) do I effectively come out with the same thing for $75 cheaper?

Depends how you use it. I think it will behave like the Samsung Galaxy S in that the built in memory will appear as a different location to the external memory. Files cannot span both locations and thus your file may not fit even though the total combined free space you have left is larger than the file you are trying to copy.

well if thats the case then in general it will work just fine. Chances arent very good that i'm going to have some massive file on there.

Internal memory is probably faster than 25$ microSD card.

You could spend $90 on a Class 10 32GB card and be looking pretty good.

there you go, 32 gb for the price they are offering 16gigs. sounds good to me. not only that but you can spread that cost. Drop the $499 now, wait a couple months and get the micro sd later. thanks for the info

On my galaxy s, my class 4 micro sd card is as quick is the internal memory. I'm sure the tab will allow quicker speeds but it's worth noting that a class 4 card is sufficiently fast enough to play back 1080p without problems. If you want to save time transferring files between tablet and pc then fair enough but I would personally save money and get a class 4 and make a cup of tea while it copies

Just but the 16GB, as long as it has a micro SD slot you won't need anymore than that.

Thats pretty much what it mean, the question now is whether it will actually have an SD card slot, I have read conflicting reports that it does and does not have one.

I think the conflicting reports are due to two different versions of the Tab 10.1. The version shown during the MWC does not appear to have a MicroSD card slot. The newer version shown at CTIA does have a MicroSD card slot. Most reviews are consistent with this but a few have gotten it wrong which has probably led to the confusion.
There's a number of differences between the versions but the easy to identify differences are thickness and MP of the rear camera. The first version (MWC) is 10.9mm thick and has an 8MP rear camera. The newer version (CTIA) is 8.6mm thick and has a 3MP rear camera.

Yeah i figure thats about what happened. Hopefully we will see some detailed(confirmed) specs soon so we can know what is really driving this thing. Also, perhaps finally review the optional UI question.
Dear Samsung,
Y U NO INFORM EXCITED PUBLIC OF FINAL SPECS!

Actually, what I want is 64GB internal memory model, with or without microSD card
I prefer without, if the space can be used to a little bit more battery and/or reduce the weight!.
I am now getting used to Nexus S, the one without microSD card. To my surprise, I can live with it, comfortably

true, you probably can live without an SD card. But the reason most people will probably get a 16gb plus a 32gb SD is because its cheaper (even with the extra 32gb SD card purchase) then paying an extra $100 for a mere 16GB

I actually have a 16gb class 4 sitting around collecting dust. I'll just stick it in 16gb model

I wouldn't have thought removing a MicroSD card slot would save much space or weight. A MicroSD card is tiny as too the housing for the slot.
For me, the want of a MicroSD card slot is not for expanding storage space cheaply but more for being able to transfer files to/from MicroSD easily. There's many situations when I would want to do this with a MicroSD card from my other devices or it is a MicroSD card from someone else I am with. In those situations, it's sometimes easier than faffing around with cables, bluetooth or Wifi. So the slot just gives another option.

That's true. Having microSD is handy. Especially if you want to transfer a lot of files or big files.
But, my point is that no-microSD will not stop me buying a tablet
After I owned Nexus S, I don't think it is important anymore as long as the internal storage is big enough.
Again, this is my own preference

The one released in Aust. last week is a 16GB no SD slot model. I haven't seen a confirmation of the one that has the SD slot but have heard rumours that it will be thinner and up to 32GB.
I thought the internal memory was available to both system & data doesn't this mean that the internal memory would be an ext flavour rather than a FAT?

I see your point and I have to agree that it does seem a bit cheaper just to get the 16gb model and buy a 16gb sd card unless u plan on being a data/movie packrat on ur Tab in which case you will want to get the 32gb model as well as a 32gb sd card.

I want the highest storage available period!
I don't care if it cost more. I would rather get a 32 GB and have another 32 GB of SD card storage.
I wish that there is a 64 GB version with SD card slot so that I can have 32 GB SD card to make the total of 96 GB.
I can never have enough space because I have so many HD movies that I want to store in my tablet.

Moto G internal memory is a micro SD

Today in the morning, I read a notice about memory of Moto G, it says this device use a micro SD card like internal memory.
It is a inconvenient because SD is worse that any NAND, Motorola says that is not possible replace this memory because in this memory is containing the system.

Heard of that too,but as long as the phone still fast and we dont have sudden death because of that there is no reason to worry
In fact it's not's a normal SD,but yeah it's a way to make the phone cheaper

Look, if they keep this phone at about this price point for future iterations then I'm looking at a yearly upgrade. At the absolute worst, I'd have this phone for two years (I can't see that happening). So will an internal microSD last that one-year life cycle I have for my device? Yes, it absolutely should. It does exactly what you need it to, so I couldn't possibly care less.

It isn't true. The Moto G does not contain a hidden microSD card. The storage is an eMMC module that is soldered to the mainboard (this was incorrectly reported as an eMMC card which do not exist).
The rumors of the Moto G having a microSD card come from a German blog that saw a metal cover that was coincidentally the same shape and size as a microSD card and assumed that this meant that a card was hidden underneath. There isn't.
Wouldn't surprise me if all this was a big plan to drive more traffic to ArenaMobile. Clickbaiting basically.

I hope it is a microSD card, so I can replace by a big one.

Did you not read the read, netyang? It's already been clarified that there is no microSD slot hidden in the phone.

No. eMMC has some advantages like durability and the technology of construction is better, for example in heat conduction is better than a SD because can preventing overheating in better way.

I really doubt that any microSD card could deliver such great performance in Androbench. And even if there were such microSD available on market, assembling it in mid/low-end device would be impossible because of price.
Here are tests from benchmarks (random write? o . O ): http://www.notebookcheck.com/Test-Motorola-Moto-G-Smartphone.106672.0.html

Okay

It´s not a trick. It's just a printscreen from 2 mobile phones showing that Internal MotoG's SDCard is faster even then a Class 10 MicroSD.

I want the moderator to ban me.

Not this again. Please...
FYI the memory is eMMC and it´s SOLDERED to the board. Good luck replacing it.

Dumbfounded
Why is there no SD slot this seems ludicrous cause of the tiny 8 GB size hell my music is more than that. Just seems like its driving away customers cause i like the phone but I will probably go with the LG optimus as I cant handle the small amount of storage.

Support For 128GB microSD Cards?

Hi everyone,
I was thinking about buying the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro when it comes out, as an upgrade from my OnePlus One. Can i ask whether 128GB microSD cards will work at their full capacity with this phone?
Cheers!

I don't know about the Redmi Note 2, but the Moto G (3rd gen) is supposed to be limited to 32 Gb — however it seems to be simply an inability to read the exfat file system often used for larger cards. After formatting as fat32 in the phone, larger cards worked fine.

It works without problems

128GB microSD works without problems on Redmi Note 2

I thought you had to format the SD card to FAT32 and that only 64GB works. That's awesome if 128GB works. Do you need to format to FAT32?

Excellent, that's great news if the Redmi Note 2 supports 128GB cards.
Going a bit off topic here but i don't want to start another thread, do you think the Redmi Note 2 is likely to get official CyanogenMod support? I'm only wondering because it might be difficult for me to settle with MIUI after coming from a OnePlus One with CM12. So far the only Xiaomi phones listed on their website are the Mi2, Mi3 and Mi4.

Good question. I'm after a phone with more memory, hence my original question about compatibility with 128GB memory cards. I was hoping to sell my OPO for around £175-£200 and then buy another phone with that money. The Redmi Note 2 seemed like a decent choice, or maybe the OnePlus X.

Man, don't do it. This phone just sucks comparing to OPO. And here's why:
1. Stock rom (MIUI) is awful, the most annoying thing about it - poor ram management. The overall ui look is terrible, there is no logic in setting menu whatssoever, moder apps, that follow material desing guidelines just don't blend in with the rest of the ui. Notification drawer and quick pannel was cool 3 years ago, nowadays it isn't user friendly, and is not that convenient to use. Plus likes to lag from time to time.
2. You won't get that insane amount of custom roms that you already have with OPO.
3. The phone is much weaker comparing to snap 800/801 performance in terms of gpu.
I'm telling you this as ex-nexus 5 user, who's phone died. Better go with OPX option. I think getting that phone too tho. RN2 is mostly for avid MIUI fans....

Yeah, i see your points there mate. The lack of stock Android did bother me somewhat but i thought there might be some custom ROM's available if i didn't get along that well with MIUI 7. I'll have another look into the OnePlus X because i'm sure the modding community behind this phone will grow much quicker than what it would for the RN2. I was also looking at some of the LG phones because they're popular and reasonably cheap as well, the G3 and G Flex 2, maybe the G4 if i could somehow stretch my budget enough. The OnePlus 2 is alright but the lack of a microSD slot is unfortunately a massive dealbreaker for me.

I've been using lg g2 for 3 months as my daily driver, and as far as I can judge, lg's ui is pretty irritating sometimes. I advice you to try to use an lg phone, and make a conclusion whether you can or can't use it for yourself.

Official website said support 32gb only

All my redmi 3G and 4G note, redmi2 and now was on RMN2 running on 64 GB class 10 msd which were formatted to FAT32 wothout any problems.

It does. The RN2 is for cheapos like me.
1. While I don't like how hidden are some features in MIUI it doesn't lag at all. The phone is butter smooth. As for RAM it sits at 1GB with some apps running in the background most of the time. This is about the same as some AOSP ROM screenshots I've seen around.
2. Yeah, it's a bit disappointing the poor reception of this phone among developers.
3. For me it isn't important. Anyway the GPU on the RN2 is newer and it has more features even if it is slower.
What you haven't said is that the RN2 trounces the OPO CPU wise. The OPO is an old phone with an even older SoC.

Today just just bought the sandisk 128GB UHS-1 card. When I insert it into an otg, my phone couldn't recognised it. Used windows 10, and it shown exFAT format. Then I formatted in my windows 10 notebook, used guiformat to format it to FAT32 inserted in rmn2 and it shown 119GB. Good. Now just transferring some files into it. It worked.

thought i would share my personal experience!
I used a 64 gb micro SD card with my Moto g 2014, which supposedly only supported up to a 32gb micro SD card
it worked fine for about 3 months, but then the micro sd card became permanently corrupted (all data on the card is permanently unmovable, reformats don't work either).
After doing some research, I read a report that said that micro SD card readers that only support up to 32gb are not supposed to take cards with higher memory, and corruption and data loss is much more common in cases like these.

Decrease in performance when using microsd as internal storage with Marshmallow?

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed a decrease in performance after using microsd cards as internal storage with Marshmallow on their Moto X Pure Editions. Any feedback would be appreciated.
I bought a 32gb Moto X Pure Edition during the recent Amazon sale. I also bought a "SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB UHS-I/U3 Micro SDXC Memory Card Speeds Up To 95MB/s With 4K Ultra HD Ready-SDSDQXP-064G-G46A" from Amazon. I'd like to use it as internal storage but am concerned about potential decreases in performance when using apps stored on the microsd card.
Thanks.

Hi,
Just redid my sd card to internal the other day.
Actually I see no difference in speed.
I have the Samsung 64gb EVO card.

I'm using an SD card that was used on my Droid X (yep still kicking), and no speed decrease on system.
