"Best" microSD card for the Lumia 950 XL

[Mr_Atomic]

I have a Kingston 128GB and it seems to be doing okay, a little slow at times I feel, but it does the trick, so far

I ended up getting the Samsung Pro+ 64GB SUPER FAST and it was on sale on $29.99!!!

Re: Best Micro SD to use in the 950 XL

It's like 39.99 today on Amazon.

It was 44.99 for Sandisk Ultra 128GB UHS-I..and 99.99 for 200GB one.

Those are both good cards if you need lots of space but they'er really slow

How much slower do you estimate the Sandisk Ultras are from the Samsung Pro?

Huge I think that the write speed on the Sandisk 128GB is only like 30MB/s vs the Samsung Pro+ 64GB is 95 MB/s

Appreciate that feedback especially since I'm shopping for a Cpl myself

Hey Guys,

Any updates on people using these cards?

I am looking at either a
Sandisk Extreme Pro or
SanDisk 64GB Ultra Android Class 10 USH-l or
Samsung Pro

I am not sure which one to go for? Huge price differences.. help?

Thanks!

Using Samsung - EVO+ 128GB and really like. Fast and no issues with phone crashing, rebooting, etc.

not on my 950xl and new sandisk card.

I have seen it on other phones in the past and went ahead and replaced the card.

This worked well for me, while trying the XL.

Ok question to my collective members...albeit a little late to the party, I just picked up a Samsung 64GB EVO Plus microSDXC UHS-l-Class 10 card from BestBuy for $20...I'm not concerned about the up tp 80MB/s Read Speed, or 20MB/s Write Speed...hell, I have plenty of RAM now...no 4k video recording at all...in fact have not 'video recorded' at all..lol
In reads within the Storage Setting: SD Card (D --->2.75MB used out of 59.6GB----->I have formatted the card...where/what is 2.75MB ...And it is normal for a 64GB microSDXC card to read: 59.6GB ?? Thanks

I realize that the thread is for the Lumia 950XL.....I have Lumia 950, AT&T Branded:
OS: 10586.164----->via the Insider Preview Release
Firmware: 01078.00017.15454.xxxx--->Of course still waiting for AT&T approved firmware updates...as we are 2-3 firmware updates behind..:unhappysweat:

The size is because of the formatted capactity and how storage manufacturers actually use 1000 instead of 1024.

You can read more of it here:

Personally I think it's a little bit of a con in all of it

I was trying to find an updated thread re the "best" microSD card for the lumia 950xl as I just recently upgraded to one, but this was the only thread I could find. Are there any new or further recommendations since this threat is a little old?

I can update that my Transcend card continues to work with zero problems whatsoever since I got it back in December. Unlike my Sandisk card, which was utter garbage.

 

[midnightfrolic]

I picked this up recently. I can use it in a variety of other devices like my DSLR or computers.
