Help me buy a new phone!

[Aryan Salooja]

Hi,
I am thinking to buy a new phone. I have selected few phones, but can't decide which one to buy. I have selected Nokia Lumia 720, IPhone 4, Blackberry Z3 and Z10. Please help me.....

After 8.1 you can use a 128GB card


BTW even after so many posts and suggestions, haven't you made up your mind yet?

You can upgrade to a 128 GB card on standard WP 8 also

The 625 has a micro SDXC slot(All Lumias with SD support have micro sdxc slots). Cards higher than 32GB need a micro SDXC slot in order to be used, regardless of the OS. WPC wrote about the Lumia 1520 with WP8 GDR3 supporting a 128GB micro SD in December. All 128 GB cards have micro SDXC branding on them. Standard microSDHC slots support only up to 32GB.

The Lumia 625 does not support native SDXC but SDHC which is compatible with SDXC. Secondly the article Wpcentral posted was in March early this year, 128 GB cards are SDXC and weren't launched till MWC early this year. Wpcentral posted a follow up article after a few weeks that the 521 with 8.1 works with the 128 GB cards. In between these two articles there was another article stating that Nokia has started acknowledging support for the 128 GB cards atleast for the Lumias that launched with 8.1 (newer models). So it might be that 8.0 won't be able to see the 128 GB card on the previous gen models till 8.1 was launched? Or may be due to unavailability no one was able to test it? The 1520 is a newer model (new generation) and hence it was able to see it? I haven't seen anyone confirm that the previous gen models were able to use the 128 GB cards while on 8.0, I've used 64 GB SDXC on 8.0 and it seemed to work fine

Micro SDHC is NOT compatible with SDXC. SDHC supports only up to 32gb memory. SDXC supports above 128gb.
Any phone that supports up to 64gb cards is by default, having an SDXC slot. The Lumia 625 is marketed as having expandable memory up to 64 GB at the time of release as 128 GB cards were not discovered then. The Lumia 520,525,530,620,625,630,720,820,1320,1520 all have SDXC slots. For confirmation, please refer to this article-http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital

Word of advice, Wikipedia is not a reliable source

If the 625 is marketed as 64GB since 8.0 them you're right, it supports SDXC natively

I'm from the UK. I've just upgraded from Nokia 520 to 635 and I'm more than happy. I was quite close getting Moto G but some little voice told me I had to support wps. I'm glad cos I adore my phone!

 

[Aryan Salooja]

Is it fast??????? Because my Lumia 520 from past few days has started lagging a lot. Is it speedy enough to do multitasking, like playing games and surfing on internet at the same time???????

 

[colinkiama]

Since the cyan has been released for the 625, I would say yes, it is , as long as you update first.

Personally I think its fast. Can get abit laggy if the ram is being used heavy but other than that its generally a smooth ride.
