microSD in your phone - you go for size or speed?

[techead]

looks like there are loads of options out there at the moment...

did a bit of googling around and most people seem to settle for a class 6 (or lower) 32GB

personally Im thinking that 16GB class 10 is gonna be the answer for me. there is this new fancy UHS-i U1 which is bloody fast but I wonder if its worth such an extra cost!!! Hmm looks like it uses quite a bit less power which is nice!

I reckon Adata 16GB 20mb/sec will be fine. linky

so what you okes using?

Class 4 32GB in my SGS2. FAT32 4GB file limit applies as far as I can tell. Size > speed

16GB built in seems to go around the same speed anyway. Not sure what spec that is...

What phone do you have? If its a BB you'd need all the speed you can get

New one i will get will be a class 10 card.

I'd go for size. The speed of the 32GB microSD cards is perfectly fine for smartphones.

~R250 for 32GB I think.

I asked a couple of ladies in the office and they all agree ... size over speed!

Depends what they card is mostly used for.

Size, because my phone's internal memory is fast enough (all 16 GB of it).

The 4GB file limit is becuase of the filesystem.

no matter what people tell you. size always matters!

Got myself a class 10 Samsung 32GB for R160 off ebay works like a charm

Class 10 for a phone?

What uses the data rate of 10MB/s on a mobile phone? Unless you shooting FullHD at 100Mb/s - which most broadcast camera's don't even do, there's no need for that kind of speed.

For day to day use and FullHD recording on mobile phones, Class 4 MicroSD cards are perfectly sufficient.

You can use the card elsewhere too ... and at R160, I would have gotten more than one!
