Which Memory card? - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Accessories

So ordered the 10+ 512gb 5G (uk) version, was wondering if it would be worth my while to get a new memory card, or use the 64GB one I have had a few years?
What recommendations do you have for a new card, will it be faster etc?
thanks

I think I'll continue to use the one that came with my Note-8.

I'm going to add in the one I got for the note 7 pre-order. High speed sd not that big of a deal to me on a phone. Others may disagree

I use this card: https://amzn.to/300f7NM

Honest question, what would you need a memory card for with the 512gb version?

I agree its a lot of storage, but if the phone locks up and i have to hard reset, i will probaly lose everything. Thats why i prefer a memory card.

Yeah for sure ,, I have admittedly in the past fiddled around with ROMs and mods so it was really an issue then
I've even screwed up and formatted SD cards before lol UGH
But I definitely prefer to try to store things -- photos, documents, etc on an SD card (really hard to get used to not having that when trying/using pixel or OP devices)

Very understandable, I just use Google Photos to back them up. Anything else I have downloaded I just redownload.
Now I do prefer to use a SD card when I root a phone even though my OnePlus 7 Pro doesn't have one.
When I bought my S10+ I took one of the 128gb SD cards I use in my GoPro 7 black and popped it in (I'm 100% sure the speed of it is overkill, SanDisk Extreme PRO). I just checked and have 119.6 available...lol. The only thing on it is two old sms backups, I've since switched to backing them up to my Google Drive.
If you don't mind spending the money it's an amazing card. When I receive my Note 10+ I don't think I'm using a SD and my S10+ will be just my backup phone so the SD card will make it's way back to the GoPro.

Depends if your full or not.
Ive been using a 64gb i got from one of the samsug promo for a while then got a 128gb in another promo. So i use that, but its not even half full.

I've ordered the Samsung 512Gb Evo plus, mainly so I can move the 128Gb in my Note 9 currently to the Tab S6 when it arrives though.

I am maxed on on the 64GB Note 8... Do have a 256GB card in it though which is about 3/4 the way full... Preordered the Note 10+ 512Gb 5G - and SOOO much want to get the 1TB cards that just came out on the market... but smarter to just wait until the insane proces come down.... Guess I'll just have to sit tight and wait... LOL

Because Note 10 plus has UFS 3.0 I need to know if UFS memory cards will work in note 10 +.

Did some research. There are UFS Memory cards on the market but the Note 10+ does not support it, it only supports microsd cards up to 1tb.
The ufs storage is MUCH faster and uses less power, and those removable cards are used in Samsung Notebooks (note the one on sale on eBay, check the compatibility part of the description), but they have not caught on yet for widespread use and that is the main issue.
They should have offered a Note 10+ compatible with ufs cards as well!
This article although not very well written and 8 months old, is a somewhat good overview:

Speed ?

There's not much to be debating about external SD storage. Any higher quality microSD will do. I'm using the same 128GB San Disk Extreme as I had in my previous S10e with all the personal folders saved, like pictures, music etc... The only thing I did was to delete all the system remnants like Android related folders, Amazon music(it's proprietary-protected, it has to be reloaded from Amazon again) and that was it. My new N10+ has accepted that SD from S10s like it's own.

Not everyone is going to need the 512GB Evo Plus, but for those who might be interested in filming in 4k60fps for long duration it's practically a must. Just remember two years back a 128GB card was "Just plain unnecessary" but as the push for higher resolution in games, movies, and images continues the need for space to store them grows too. I grabbed a 512GB Evo Plus for $85 on Amazon, myself.

32GB/64GB Note 2 in UK?

Hi guys,
I currently have an S3 and I have a buyer for it, I will be buying the Grey Note II very soon. However, due to the large number of games I have and the increasing file sizes for game data (in particular gameloft games) I would like to go for the 32GB or 64GB version. It is very inconvenient to always run out of space and have to move game data to the SD card. With the size of phone games these days, 32GB really should be the new standard imo.
I already have a 64GB memory card so please don't tell me where I can purchase one of these. I want the Note 2 in Grey with 32GB or 64GB internal memory. Do they exist? Will they ever appear or am I likely to be waiting indefinitely?
Now the buyer for my S3 is getting impatient and he wants it ASAP. I could sell it and buy the 16GB grey Note 2 now, but if there is any news regarding the 32 or 64GB version I will hold out for a bit longer.
Any information would be most helpful.
iphone users will be really jealous.

~i have almost the same case here...but as far as i have heard...the 64 and 32 GIG versions are not gonna be out till after 2012 ends...
Samsung are just about to start releasing an S3 64gb. Doesn't bode well for seeing a Note II anytime soon.
They seem to use the extra memory to even out their sales further into the phone's life, rather than maximize them at launch. Bloody annoying really.

Same boat except in Aus do I'll no doubt be waiting longer! so tempted to get 16gb but know I'll hate it later! Also don't you need a 'micro SD' card? Might do a search and see if there is a 'confirmed to work' 64gb card thread...

I ordered this: KINGSTON SECURE DIGITAL CLASS 10 SDXC 64 GB
I will update this thread once I pick it up at the post office today
I was in the same boat. I wanted the 64GB with 64GB microSD, but it is really unnecessary. To use that space you would need A LOT of movies on the phone. Movies etc can be streamed from your home computer via the Emit app. You can also use dropbox, so even 16+64GB is moooooooore then enough space.
Im one hoping for the release of the 64gb variant soon.
I think samsung have dropped the ball here.
Least the fruity phone manufacturer makes all memory size variants available from zero day

You guys confirmed what I already thought, I can see it being quite a wait until we see the 32GB and 64GB versions.
I've gone ahead and ordered the 16GB Grey Note II today. For those interested in the UK, this is the deal I got:
Grey Note II (FREE HANDSET)
300 Minutes
Unlimited Texts
1.5GB Internet
£27 Cashback.
£31 per month (T-Mobile)
24 Month Contract.
I ordered it today, it should be with me tomorrow.

No, the one I ordered is 3G.
Thing is, I do not intend to use 4G at all yet especially since we can be sure it will cost a fair bit on top of our contracts. I have also heard reports that the battery life takes quite a hit on 4G. By the time 4G is standard across the UK and we have coverage everywhere, I reckon I may have the Note 3 by then...
farfromovin - I agree with you, I think 128GB micro sd cards are literally just a few weeks away now.
If your thinking for waiting before buying the consensus is that is too long to wait for most. We are greedy. But it might still be a good idea as next week ee launch the lte version, this may affect the prices but come November network prices will definitely be affected. Combined you might save £50 in 30 days. This is all skeptical I know so let's say the EV is around £25 allowing for a fall in hype too.

It's funny you say that. I was thinking the same thing. I sure hope so. If this is the case I'd be willing to go that route. Not only is it more storage it's a more future proof solution. In fact the difference between a 16GB and 64GB note will probably be roughly equal to the difference between a 64GB card and a 128 GB card.
... here's hoping.
Got my Note II today, what a beast of a phone. Takes the best things from the Note I and the S3 and combines them, and improves it some. :good:

The XC standard is supposed to be fixed regardless of memory size (up to a limit I forget) where the HC standard was different for each capacity. Wouldn't guarantee it but if 64 works then 128 (256, 512...) should be fine.

ill be on the look out then as i wouldnt mind a large card for my hd films (and no its not porn ).

side note...the way these sdxc are increasing in size and cheapness on price i can see them maybe killing off usb sticks the way its going...boy are 64gb micro card small cant wait for 128gb ones.

[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!

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...

[Q] Which Note 3 compatible 64GB Micro SD Card to get?

I've read mixed results with the overall Samsung Galaxy series of phones and Sandisk micro sd cards.
I was thinking of getting this 64GB Class 10 card:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/SanDisk-64GB-microSD-Class-10-Ultra-Card/23350707
But didn't know what/if any the current people already with Note 3s are using. Some people say to stick with the Samsung 64GB version as there are issues with some phones only being able to read exFat.
I just wanted to make sure that the card I buy actually works with the Note 3 when it arrives and not have to deal with returns and buying multiple makes/manufacturers of cards until I find a working one that lets me use all 64GB.
Thanks!

Maaan, you're getting the world's most fastest advanced phone that has not 1, 2, 3 but 4 world firsts on it (4K recording, 3GB ram, MicroUSB 3.0, 24bit audio), the bleeding edge of technology, and you put a ultra 64gb class 10 card in there? forget about it...step up to the big boys, you have to get this one...
(won't let me link, i removed it, but google "world's fastest microsd" and it's a sandisk card)
Its the Sandisk Extreme 64GB MicroSD card...it's the world's fastest sd card, it's stats are 80MB read, 50MB write, but actual tests have shown 96MB read,.and 61MB write, which destroys any other class 10 sd card...class 10 is 10MBps, this card is hitting 5 to 9 times that depending on read/write
Look at this review
(I cant believe they wont let me link, its by legit reviews, just google it)
It's perfect for 4K recording, USB 3.0 transfers, etc..
With those read speads you won't see the lag the ultra 64gb card have when you open gallery, and i know because i had one in my note 2 and it took a bit for it to load all my pics, bet it doesn't with this behemoth...Im selling my ultra and pony up the difference for the $99 extreme
The fastest microsd card in the world for the fastest phone in the world...perfect match...
I would say NO to sandisk cards. Had a 64 gb class 10 ultra high speed in my note 2 and got all sorts of crashes.

That is the Ultra, which Sandisk as already acknowledged there was an issue and was working with customers for exchanges, they do have a lifetime warranty, this is a different microsd card, probably different parts altogether due to it's speed

never heard of it?
from samsung or sandisk?
I had been a Sandisk loyal user until my S4 which caused hiccups, lags, mysterious file disappearance, random reboots, unable to transfer large files and many more.....
I then switched to Transcend MicroSD on my S4 and all the above problems disappeared. I've been using an old 8GB Sandisk on my Note 3 and so far haven't experienced any problems yet. I am awaiting for the 128GB Microdisk SDHC coming out soon and really make use of that 1080p screen.

[Q] (Q) Best micro sd card for note 3?

I just purchased the Samsung 64gb class 10 sdxc pro micro sd card but I'm having transfer issues. Files are disappearingnd becoming corupted. I tried formatting but I'm getting the same thing. Movies won't play, but everything works fine on my Samsung 32gb class 4 UH-1. Just can't get it to work on my 64gb.

Questions like these will just invoke peoples opinions and everybody has one. Nobody will be able to tell you what is "best". They all work good and the same. Samsung make cards just fine. So does PNY, Lexar, Kingston,Transcend,etc. Me personally, I stay with the major brands. You should be fine if you do so.Sounds like you just might have a bad card.Take it back and exchange it for something else.

I was thinking about the sandisk extreme but is it really worth that much money?

I am a fan of Sandisk cards. Used a 64GB micro in this phone and then moved onto a PNY card which is what currently is in my Note now. There is another thread somewhere in here, maybe Accessories, that has a great deal on MicroSD cards from Best Buy and Amazon. I would start to look this week at getting a card cause you probably can get one for a steal being that this is Black Thursday/Friday.

Basically, I'm trying to decide between a Samsung 64gb Pro sdxc class 10 or a Sandisk Extreme sdxc class 10, which is like $25 more. Am I wasting my money going the more expensive route? Will my phone even show the difference?
I was having problems with my 16 and 32G samsung cards in my note 2, when i got my note 3 i went with a 64G sandisk (had an amazon gift card to use up) and have nothing but good things to say. I tried my 32G samsung in the note 3 as well and it was hit or miss kinda like your describing
It's hit or miss. My 32 gb sandisk class 10 just stopped working last night, lost everything on the card. Im probably going with a samsung card next. There are many reports of samsung devices ruining memory cards, especially sandisk brand.

I went ahead and bought the SanDisk extreme. Just had it for a couple hours and my phone seems to be running hot. I'll keep you guys updated.
I have a Sandisk 64gb card. It did crap out on me but they replaced it and so far so good. I've never had a problem with Micro Center cards but as of right now the biggest they have is 32gb. That's my backup in case my 64gb Sandisk craps out again.

Can you do a speed test on the pny card please. There's an app on the play store called a1 sd test I think that is pretty good. I saw that card on sale for $27 so I think I'm getting it

Been running my Sandisk Extreme 64gb for a couple of days and it has not beengiving me any giving me any problems. Everything is running smooth. It doesn't seem lightning fast but it's pretty fast. Nothing impressive on my benchmark but I got it for free. If I had to pay money, I think I would go Samsung pro.
I got 22read, and 13.9 write on my PNY that I bought for $27.

Not true at all, it can and will read the 128gb microsd. But it can also read up to 2 TB hdd via otg cable. I also have a microsd to Sdcard tf cable that reads my 256gb sdcard.
Check out amazon for a huge discount on that 128gb microsd @119.99!!

My answer was based on what samsung said on note's 3 launch, we will see when this card will be launched

On my note 1, when the 64Gb sd cards were just launched, Samsung said too that only 32Gb ones works on this device.
My 64Gb sdcard always worked fine...

Technically, due to xc specifications, we should be able to use an sd card up to 2 TB... If they made them that big...

You were just misinformed companies want you to think there's a limit but when your on a site like xda there's no fooling us lol, even though at that time 64 gb microsd was the biggest external microsd option there were ways to get around the limit via regular sdcards. I have a 256gb sdcard I use on my note 3 from a tf cable that uses the microsd card slot on the note 3 so I can insert my sdcard and store massive amounts of data on it. I'm planning on buying the 128gb microsd also tho just to support sandisk and Thank them for finally making this happen, we're sure to see 128gb internal phones in the near future now.

C'mon, this is very simple, until couple days ago the largest micro sd card was 64GB and that's how far they could test it and that's what they wrote in the specs. If the 128GB card follows the specs, it has to work, but I do remember in the past some cards didn't work with all devices and I have no idea why, something about particular controller being not compatible, so it would be foolish for Samsung to post specifications which can't be tested. I had same thing with my old camera, specs listed 32 GB max, largest size at the time of release but it worked with 64GB fine when those came out. So when do we get 256GB, 128GB seems so yesterday.

Almost certainly it will work. However the manufacturer suggested price (200$) is just "marketing" similar to what is routinely done on overpriced jewelry, the initial launch price seems to be closer to 120$ and I would be quite surprised if the price will not get towards 70-80 US$ once the competition really heats-up.
Amazon has it for $119 but it is out of stock.
No idea when they will actually have it.
It's been over 1 year so it's probably time to confirm that the SanDisk 128GB Ultra Micro SDXC Class 10 UHS-1 card works flawlessly on a Samsung Note 3 SM-N900T (running either KItKat or Lollipop). For best performance it doesn't hurt to adjust the read-ahead cache higher than the default 128K (I use 1024K).
Beware of the many "fakes" found online. As of this writing, anything under $50 is probably not a genuine 128GB card, but you can find legitimate ones for as little as $65 if you search around.
