What type of sdcard is good enough for 4k video recording with Lumia 1520

[Nazir Taib]

Due to Lumia denim will eventually arrive at Lumia 1520, I'm planning to buy sdcard. Mainly to take the advantage of the 4k video recorded capability and using that to take the moment capture. The question is, what type of sdcard with good write speed for 4k video recording?

Class 10 from a good brand.

I'd suggest at least UHS 1, which is also a class 10. Meets class 10 minimum requirements and boosts them up a bit.

I picked up a nice 64GB UHS 1 / Class 10 by SanDisk, and I'm getting 18MB/s write speeds and 45MB/s read speeds. Speeds will differ. If the packaging or write-up doesn't brag about the speeds and name what they are, then it probably is going to be the slowest that qualifies for that class card, and I'd pass on it.

Of course, I won't be doing anything like that right now, just prepping for the future. Still have a low end device for now, but only because I was going to "test the waters" with a WP before I jumped in with both feet AND my wallet. I'm happy enough I'll be getting higher end soon, I'm sure, so the fast SD was good investment.

Then, it seem if I by Transcend microSDHC UHS 1 class 10 would be ok. With up to 45mb/s.

Go for SanDisk Ultra my friend. Class 10. Works for my lumia 630, my friends' lumia 1520 and my parents' smartphones.

All 3 cards in this post will do a good job.
